Has anyone ever seen or know of a company that builds a hydraulic set up that will mount on the rear of a D6c for pulling equipment that requires hydraulics ?? (scraper,disk etc.) I am thinking of converting my #60 to hyd. but will also have to add hydraulics to the dozer. Any info. appreciated !
Thanks,
Vernier

I have a rear mount Cat Hyd.Group complete with linkages it came off D47U.I read in the parts book said it would fit on D2,4,6.I will check the parts book for sure.Otherwise there was a company called Live Power had rear hyd.

The d6-c already has hydrualics. You might have to stack another valve.

Is your machine a direct drive or power shift? Does it have a front dozer on it or is a bare machine? If it is a P.S. and has a dozer it may be possible to add a valve to the existing hydraulic arrangement. If it is a direct drive with no dozer then there are some other options. ๐Ÿ˜Š

My dozer is a power shift machine w/tilt (6S dozer) I would need three circuits to the rear to run a scraper. Does Cat have additional valves that could be added to my machine to achive what I need??
Thanks

The D6C uses the #163 Hydraulic Control. Maximum is two valves in the tank (dozer & tilt) plus provision for one external valve (usually for ripper).

What you mite consider is going for a rear mounted self contaiined pump, valves and reservior. These can be configured for either 2 or 3 values. White Brothers out Walla Walla Washington used to build a nice looking unit for the direct drive machines. Mite be worth giving them a call (1-800-525-6620). If they cannot supply you something that works they can probably suggest alternatives. Good Luck. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks for the information on this issue, it looks like a rear mounted pump and valves is the way to go, may kind of spendy but what isn't. Would anyone have an idea as to what I would need as far as volume and pressure if I were to manufacture one of these on my own ? I would be using it to operate a converted #60 scraper.
Thanks

I'd come at it the other way....find out what size cylinders you need, rate of travel and how many operating at the same time....then pick volume and pressure. The cat stuff was all low pressure (1000 psi) and high volume, the #163 is 54 gpm. No reason you couldn't run higher pressure...2,500 psi or so and reduce the size of some of the components.

Hi Ali,
How much rear hydraulics are you looking for??....the Cat #44 unit ( 2-valve, 37 gpm and 1000 psi) was capable of rear mount on the D6,7, & 8....or you can go to after-market systems....or build your own.

Also could use the #44 single valve at 25 gpm.

Paint project looks good. Have to put on shades just to view the pictures๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„

Here's another one on the back of a D6C-17R:

"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."
