C frame question

Hi metalman, I have a spare c frame and blade sitting here I am willing to part with. pm me if your interested, have some other 9u bits and pieces as well.

Thanks Old Magnet, I was hoping you'd chime in, your answers carry a lot of weight, even if it was not the answer I wanted to hear!
I figured the D6C would probably not work for me, assume it is a larger machine.

Rmyram I appreciate hearing from you, you offered me some help with engines back in January.
I may need to make a trip up your way to discuss parts before winter if I can get away.
Already have an offer on a pair of C frames + a parts '9U over in Vanderhoof, again if I can make the time to get away.

I have revised my plans and am keeping the 'spare' '9U now, since I have had the opportunity to use it a fair bit this fall and it runs so darn sweet:eyebrows:.
Fitted a hefty 11' clearing blade to it this summer, and am happy as a pig in $--- with it so far.
Took a chance on the blade at an auction, excellent low price, figured I could recoup the cost in scrap if I had to but voila!
New plan is to use the one for clearing and brushing, and the other for grading/spreading/smoothing.

Just need to rebuild or replace the pony engine on my old one.

Thanks again for the help guys.

If you can get the blade and it's s/n that goes with the D6C "C" frame I can check further. The whole assembly will most likely work, it's just matching it to the lighter 9U blade that is in question.

Hello , the D6C frame never fits a D6 9U .
Some years ago I had to fit a D6C C-frame on a 4T D7 . I had to adapt the push arms completely . The C-frame of the D6C is even wider than the D7 was !
Have a nice day . johan7

Hi johan7,

Is it the width (thickness) of the push arms themselves that is the problem? Also I suspect the inside arm to arm dimension is different.

The 9U, D6C and 3T/4T are all the same 74 inch track gauge but mountings are different.

Just had another offer of a C frame from a chap with a D7-4T, he is parting it out 'cause the main engine blew up.

For interests sake, would the C frame off a 4T fit a 9U?

Answer is no. Different trunnion, bearing and cap. C frame outside width is 6 inches wider than the 9U.
Different width blade, different braces and angle adjustment fittings etc.
Again you are limited to 9U and D6B 44Axxxx.

Thanks, Old Magnet.
