How hard can I run my D6-B

I have an old D6-B that I replaced the crown gear, both ring gears, both pinions, and clutches. I realy don't know what shape it was inside when I bought it but shortly after I started using it it took a few teeth of one of the ring gears. When they took it apart it was bad!
My question is how hard can you run this old dozer without breaking these parts? Everything from the crown gear to the sprockets are new, the motor is very strong (no blow-by) and the transmission seems fine. I usually run it about 3/4 throttle and in 1st gear when digging. My soil is not rocky and is mostly hard clay after 3 feet.
I have learned a lot about how to operate the thing in a short time and can usually drive anything with a motor but I want to know what can take out your final drives. I never touch my clutches with a load on it and give the old girl enough room to turn and such. Can you lug the old girl down when in low and on hard clay where there is no way it will spin or will I break things back there again. Just want to know before this season.
Thanks in advance, it will probably save me money!!!!

You probally had final drive problems due to bad bearings and years of neglect. keep a check of the oil levels pull the bottom plug once in a wile to check for water if you have a oil leak at the sprocket seals dont just keep adding oil fix it if oil can get out water and contaimation can get in. A d-6 is a work horse you can run it hard

A D-6B is an excellent crawler But dont be afraid
of running at full throttle it wont hurt it,rocky
ground is what does the most damage to a crawler and your soil conditions are good and the less
you use your steering under full load the longer they will last.Happy pushing!!
