RD-7 was created by blwatson
      Got some pictures to share of a RD-7 that has been sitting for a long time. I know everyone likes pictures. I know who the owner is but have not contacted him to see if he would part with it. I have no knowledge of RD-7 dozers to know if they are desirable or not. Located in a very isolated area. I would be way over my head in trying to rescue it, if it was considered to be worth the effort. I do not have the equipment or location to handle it. Just wanted to share.

Thank you for posting this! Would you happen to have a picture that shows the entire machine?

9G was a good machine, worked them in the farm country when I was a teenager.
Slow speed engine and torque!
Steering Frictions would build the arm muscles and one learned to use a foot on the dash to help with pulling them.

Seiscat - I have posted pictures here on ACMOC of some 9G's in the past. I think you can find them.

Craig, the closest to showing the entire machine is the one just before the number tag. Would be curious to know what year it is?

What do you think the short pieces of pipe on top of the outside edges of the blade are?

As a 1936 machine would this have had the hydraulic blade or was it likely added later? We used to have a 1935 Gas that was cable blade and crank start. Not sure when hydraulics took the place of cable.
