Hi, Thank you for joining ACMOC and introducing yourself.
That looks like a really tidy tractor.
I'm afraid I'm not near you as I'm in the UK !
Stay safe and I hope you enjoy your ACMOC membership.

Thanks John and Biggastractor!
Welcome aboard , that D6 looks very familiar . Congrats on the new purchase. You have a good Cat there . It has a few miles under its tracks the last few years. In So Cal I pulled a 60 scraper with it at the local tractor shows. Then Juiceman bought it with the 60 scraper. That tractor and the 60 was sure a lot of fun to move dirt with.
I've heard a number of great things about you from Juiceman! He def. did not want to part with it, but I think he felt bad for me and wanted to see me in a good unit lol.
Soon as I got it to the shop, I ended up throwing an electric starter on it and recently cut the pony tank in half, sand blasted and epoxy coated the inside and got her back together. Had a fuel delivery issue on the PM when we got it back home so I couldn't even get it off the lowboy lol.
If things go well this weekend I hope to put the pony tank back on, new fuel line and an inline filter for it and get the pony ready to go. She runs great and you found one heck of a great unit when you picked her up!
Do you know Rich Worisek from Broadview Montana? He is also a heavy equipment mechanic working in the underground mining equipment industry. He used to work for the Komatsu dealer in Billings. He is a friend of mine. He has no old equipment.

I don't live near you but I've driven thru your town before, lol. I have a D6 9U very similar to yours. I love the canopy and sweeps on your machine, mine is a bare back at the moment. is it an oil clutch unit? The 9U is a very dependable tractor, if you take care of it it will last a long time.
Joe G , that canopy and sweeps are one of the main reasons I bought that D6 , I had been stalking that tractor for 5 years .i was original gonna restore it as a fire dozer. The guy that I bought it from ask how found out about this tractor , I told him when you run lowbeds you get to go places where no others get to. Other than the grousers being a little low the tractor is in very good shape and one of the easiest starting pony motors I have had .The only reason I sold it is a have to many projects .Glad it went to a good home .

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
