9u d6 trade

Nice Fleco cab.

Hey Brian---do you still have your other D6??

Any chance you could post some pics of the pony on your 9U? I'm combining pieces of two pony's for a DW10. One of them ponys is original to the DW10 the other is from a D6 9U I think. There are some very minor differences and I have the DW10 parts books but not the D6. I'm curious about starting controls, throttle, choke and water connection tube at the back.

Thanks! Nice trade.

Before you rebuild the main, you may want to take it out and work the snot out of it for a number of hours. It is amazing how good of an overhaul a few hours of hard work can do. Get it plenty warm, not overheated, and make it grunt, no harm if it doesn't work and it may turn up other issues before you get to deep into it.

looks like it has almost new rails and sprockets , what I can see of the rollers they are not that bad.
put it to work and see how it sings

Rome K/G Cab will look better with a sandblast and paint job. Looks like it also has original data plates

Dan Yes I still have a 5R (1947) and a 9U (1956). The 5R is now hooked to the scraper but it doesn't do well. Not enough power for the hills. This makes number 3. How are you doing? It was nice to see you in Texas at the National Show

Oldcarman I’m going to take the hood off of this machine in the near future. Will take some pictures.

Old Iron Habit The blow-by doesn’t go away. This thing cleared 80 acres of Oak and Hickory. There is obviously broken rings or something hard work is not going to cure.

caterpillar 13 Tracks and bottom rollers ore in good shape. Just the Track Carrier Rollers on top that need help. Under carriage will last me a long time

Posted today in the wanted for sale section, Looking for track carrier rollers. Would like to find them within driving distance since freight is going to be expensive. Maybe someone has a parts machine with good rollers they would like to get rid of.

Brian--this is my 9U parts machine--I doubt if any of the carrier rollers are any help but if you need anything else your welcome to them

Dan Looks like only one is any good. Let's wee what turns up in the for sale /wanted section of this forum. Thanks for the offer. if I run across anything I need I will let you know

How much blowby is considered a lot for a Cat? My D7 always has a little smoke trail coming out of the breather, but it doesn't seem to harm anything. Runs and works great. I think it's pretty safe to assume there's a lot of wear on my engine, based on the wear on everything else.
