9U and 60 scraper pictures and cable questions

Pete. I ran the d7 and the seventy pan all weekend. Striped 25 load of top soil anb then hauled 46 load of fill in an ald roadway then used the 9u to lay on the top soil got it all done in two days and it looks great. Good luck with the adjst on the ccu, Ron

Thanks Ron - Sounds like you've done pretty well yourself. With all the nice weather lately it sure makes it nice to move dirt and get work done! Just wish there were more hours in a day and I had enough energy to last them all.

Looks great!!! and fun to.
Cable requirements:
Ejection cable 1/2" size......75 feet
Bowl lift 1/2" size.....60 feet
Apron lift 9/16" size......18 feet

Spare cable on reel.....probably want enough to restring a couple of times.

Thanks O.M.

3F8522,-cable and reel assembly, (cable control to rear cable reel) is 300' of 1/2" cable.

Hi, Old Magnet.
Please correct me if I am wrong but I think Cat used 1/2" cable on ALL of their CCU's, front and rear mounted, and all their cable controlled machines, didn't they?

I forgot to ask one other thing. Does it matter what wire size/grouping/lay the cable is? As you all know there is several types of 1/2" cable.

Pete

With your money look at the price get the best it will last longer.Make sure you don't pull it into.

Cable spec. is 1/2", 6 x 19 filler wire, right Lang lay, independent wire rope center, preformed improved plow steel type.

With the exception of the apron lift cable on scrapers the entire line of equipment is designed for this particular cable for maximum efficiency, from the contour of the groove in the sheaves to the sheave size, sheave bearings and all working parts.
