D7 17a and d69u

The d6 is missing the rock guards both sides and the belly pan. Undercarriage on it looks really good. Undercarriage on the d7 is ok.

Gee, I noticed in the third picture the kitty cat on the left track of the Cat. WOW, how cool.

Also, you mentioned that the "D7 is a monster", I drove a D7 much of my teen years and to me that size is normal. Many years ago visited a Cat fan and he showed me his D2. To me is was so SMALL.... (not complaining here)

I determined at that time you sit down on a D2 and climb up on a D7...

Still these are cool photos and thanks for posting them.

I have a d2 but have really never been around cats. I am more used to farmall m's than other. To me a d7 is a monster. It is scary working with something I don't have the equipment to move or even budge. I could have paid someone 10000 to build a pond but chose to try to learn something new and attack it myself. Time will tell if I made a horrible choice. As long as no one gets hurt it should be fun. Worst case scenario aside from injury is I have a broke down or stuck dozer on my property I can't sell and no pond. I can think of worse things.

Hello,
I 17 years ago I did the same thing you are doing. Still got my D717A (serial #1488😎, and still play on it some when time permits. I replace bad pony with an electric starter, it has worked like a champ (although it is tired now). Have also figured out how to repair any other issues that have kept it from working. By the way, what are those tall things on your treadplates?
Have fun,
Kelly D717A

I don't know on those treads. Presumed just foot rests of sorts.

Any chance a four post canopy off of a d7 would fit on a d6? Doubt it but have to ask.
