A crawler dozer includes a main frame having a longitudinal central axis. A push frame includes left and right push beams. A dozer blade is pivotally connected to the left and right push beams. At least one tilt cylinder is connected between the dozer blade and at least one of the left and right push beams. The tilt cylinder includes a larger cylinder portion pivotally connected to the dozer blade and a smaller piston portion pivotally connected to the at least one of the left and right push beams. The tilt cylinder includes a cylinder axis diverging laterally outward relative to the longitudinal central axis of the main frame in a forward direction by a splay angle of at least 2 degrees.

A work machine includes an undercarriage assembly. The undercarriage assembly includes a chassis and a ground-engaging mechanism for rotating around the chassis to move the work machine. A pair of rails is coupled to the chassis. A pair of sliders is coupled to a front-assembly. The sliders are aligned with the rails and movable relative to the rails to facilitate movement of the front-end assembly relative to the chassis.

A hydraulic flushing system comprises a hydraulic machine including a case drain, a gearbox having a cavity, and a flushing valve. The case drain is included in a hydraulic pump or a hydraulic motor. The flushing valve is fluidly connected to the case drain, fluidly connected to the cavity, and fluidly positioned between the case drain and the cavity. The flushing valve is configured to selectively allow hydraulic fluid to flow from the case drain to the cavity.
