Old Cat Dozer Found - Would like info please

A shot in the dark would be more help than we can give from that, but we can help if you can post the pictures and or any serial number information on the two tags that are on the machine.

One will be found on the left side of the engine block toward the rear of the engine just above the levers that control the starting engine clutch.

Another will be found on the back of the tractor on the left side above the drawbar support. If they are missing, there should be a number stamped into the metal underneath where the small 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" tag were held on by two rivets.

Here's some information on posting pictures.

How about a scout project!

T139

I am located in Lansing Michigan and travel the state a lot, Would be glad to help with a ID, If you would like to E mail me the pic I will post them for all to see. Any information will help such as the number of cylinders and if its gas or diesel, did it have a seperate gas starting engine? Did it look anything like this? [email protected]

Thanks Steve for the picture.
I will email you what pics that I have. I think that it is bigger than the one you posted and the pulleys are on the back and then the cables go low around each side to the front where they actuate the blade up or down.
I tried to upload my pictures but they were too big and I have not figured out how to make them smaller yet.
Thanks again for your help!

Here you go

Steve, a parts machine to be sure.

Looks to be D6 "R" model with LeTourneau "R" series ccu.
Buzzards have been there😉 😉

T139,

I believe the R series D6 was introduced in 1940 and was produced until 1947. The dashboard shown on your pictures and it having a seat/fuel tank probably means it was made later in the series, but I don't know when/if there was a complete change over from the tank in front of the operator's station.

This was about a 60 hp tractor weighing about 22,000 pounds with blade and PCU on the back.

Here's a link to one that is on the web. There's some over on ACME with the dozer blade and all, but you have to be registered to see them.

Thanks for the information, I believe you have identified it!!
I don't think it will be going anywhere, and I'm not really sure how it got there.
The terrain is really low and swampy and if not walking there in the winter you better have your swampers on!

Thanks again!

CCjersey, I followed the link you posted. By the looks of the sprocket....It looks like the KING was there!!!!😛
