Thank You for the info... What are you thoughts on this model machine... Any problems or draw backs? One of this type in average condition, approximately what would it be worth??

Here are some on Machinery Trader for comparison. They can vary quite a bit.

The D6B is basically a D6 "U" model with an engine change to the not as good D333a. It is around 1967 that the D333 engine changed to the 4-3/4" bore D333c which was the forerunner of the D3306 which came out in the early 70's.
One nice feature of the D6B is the use of "duo-cone" seals on all the rollers and final drives. Sorry, I don't have enough information to pin down the actual engine on this model. Check it out:D .....might be a good deal there.
