Glad you are on the mend. Seems like many of us that are lucky to live long enough will have that surgery sooner or later! I am sure you haven't just been resting, heard a lot about the physical therapy involved! Keep up the good work!

Danny,

Been meaning to come out and look at the tractors but Christmas keeps getting in the way. If you need a hand next week I can come out to your shop and help.

The oil line for the 70 worked great.

Happy New Year

Looking forward to seeing more! Most Ziegler dealers are pretty good at finding parts for the older Cats. Their Component Rebuild facility in the cities rebuilt the injectors for my 1937 D6. They could find most of the seals for that tractor. They can find a lot of the parts for the D6 9U series yet. I just ordered a complete head gasket kit from them for my D6 9U.

One of these days......yea I'd like to get down there and meet Danny and see his stuff.....thinks keep getting in the way here too. Mostly grandkids.....man are they fun to spoil then send home!

As I told Danny on another forum they did my left knee almost 2 years ago. Works great! Only thing is I couldn't get the doc to install a grease fitting while he was doing it. Now they are telling me I can get the right one done whenever I say. As long as the shots with the horse needle under the knee cap keep it under control I'll wait.

Hi Rick, Hope you and the wife are going to make it on the 7th for the club Christmas dinner. Maybe Danny and Biggastractor can ride up togather. Always a good time.

Hey Rick, Hope you are coming to the Chapter 3 Christmas Dinner on the 7th. Maybe Danny and Biggastractor can ride up to join us. Always a good time. Got the video of the clubs RD4 first ride after getting it repaired. I think we are having a mini auction of donated items also.

Don't know Roger. Beth won't be able to make it. Plus that's a 3 hour drive. I want to attend but that's a heck of a long drive to eat. Trying to see if I can't get a friend to come along.

Rick

OIH,,

Did you mean Old Tanker Rick or Biggastractor Rick? Anyway I won't be able to make it. I have another commitment that day. Ferdie and I were planning on driving together. If you guys do come down to see Danny's stuff holler at me and we'll make a day of it. We still need to talk about getting to Santa Margarita.

Happy New Year

You guys are welcome anytime , things are really starting to come along with the knees . I have got to come out to the shop and tear down some injection pumps that I never have time to do until now . I have a fuel room were I overhaul injection pumps and injectors for the IH tractor , might be looking into those cat pumps and injectors !! Always like learning new stuff and can't wait to start on these two D 6's this spring when I am healed up .
Sorry I couldn't make it up there to your meeting , oh well there is next time . We are talking about going out to California for that show . I got the tour of the place last winter and got to meet a bunch of the Cat guys from area . These guys are die hards , hardly nothing fixed up but they like them in there work clothes . It's the craziest thing I have ever seen , run these dozer right down the streets of the town for many blocks !!
Don't think I could haul anything out there because of the cost but sure looks like a great time .

Danny
