The blade on the new D9E does move up and down. They are all pretty stiff in their movement. If you hold down on the hood of the model and press down at the center of the blade with your thumb, it should move for you.

Hi Team......Catweasel received his hydraulic D9 yesterday...looks great!!!
As for next model, a DW21 or a 619, respectively first overhung and first of the 600 series ??? Both of these, along with the 235 hp D8H have very special places in Catweasels memory banks.

Hi, Folks.
My Cat D9E hydraulic dozer arrived today. I have to say that the detail is magnificent - - - - - except for one tiny, minor detail. Just as with the AC HD21 dozer model that I have mentioned elsewhere, (see post #24 in the 1:25 scale DW21 model thread) they have designed and built the model so that the track rollers ahead of the equaliser bar and the front idlers are on a different plane from the rest the of the track rollers, resulting in the model being quite noticeably tip-toey.
As also mentioned in the above thread, I e-mailed First Gear about this design characteristic and have received NO reply in almost 2 years. Glad I didn't hold my breath.
Hello, the model committee, would you please take note of this post and my previous post to Catalac in this thread, as well as the above-mentioned post in the DW21 model thread. If we are going to be paying good money for 'realistic' models, should they not BE realistic?
Just my 0.02.

Just noticed on ebay yesterday, that the first SpecCast done D2 sold for
$255.00!! A good investment from the original $60 it cost us! I know the
other ones are going privately for $150!!
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
