D6C Ripper Project

Hi, Xtremist.
Does your D6C have a hydraulic dozer blade or at least the hydraulic tank in front of the firewall and the hydraulic pump that goes with that tank? Rippers on these machines were commonly powered by the same hydraulics that operated the dozer blade.

There were also several different series of D6C. The serial number of yours would help people here to better assist you, as would some photos of what you currently have.

Just my 0.02.

Yep it has a hydraulic dozer with power tilts as well.  serial number is 69J2622, here are a few pictures.   [attachment=68541]20210508_122336.jpg[/attachment][attachment=68542]20211002_175841.jpg[/attachment][attachment=68543]20211008_164302.jpg[/attachment][attachment=68544]20211112_152357.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=68541]20210508_122336.jpg[/attachment][attachment=68542]20211002_175841.jpg[/attachment][attachment=68543]20211008_164302.jpg[/attachment][attachment=68544]20211112_152357.jpg[/attachment]

Hi, Xtremist.
Unless I am mistooken, that machine would have come with 3 valves in the tank, blade, ripper and tilt. You don't appear to have the control lever and linkage for the ripper which was usually a second lever below the blade control.

Just my 0.02.

This cat was setup with a winch at one point, it has the aux pump that would have controlled the winch as well as the winch controls but there are only 2 external linkages from the tank, blade lift and blade tilt...

Can anyone tell me if it is a closed or open center hydraulic system on this machine ?
