Sounds like the AMT/Ertl line of civilian construction equipment. Much of it has been reissued recently. Here is their website: http://www.rcertl.com/.

You'll need to navigate through their archives to see when the kits were last reissued. I found the bulldozer listed under plastic kits.

AMT/Ertl had issued the John Deere 310 loader with backhoe in 1999, kit #15043. Mine is sitting mostly built, in the box, about three feet from me. EBay may cough up a kit suitable for sale, or the link that Sabot provides may go back that far.
Cheers!
