Hey Gang,
The last Two D9g's I saw go across at two different Auctions had holes in block that had been repaired by welding up the hole cut in the block, some grinding, a little bondo, and painted over them. It's a shame so much history going to scrap. I know some farmers that have taken the money for old equipment to purchase new. They sign a contract that the new equipment has to record so many hours a year to be able to take the dollars. It sure is funny to see the equipment blocked up and running going no where just to record hours. All that wasted fuel to help the environment... hahaha... leave it to our greenies to save us all....
Enough to make a guy puke
Good grief

I agree Glen, those holes and cuts could be welded back up. The pallets are holding up the hardnose not the whole engine and front end.
I am puzzled by why they made those cuts and as Rome says, it looks like they have detached the hardnose. How will the buyer get those loaded out? It seems to me that one could disable the tractor by just air arcing some of the engine and leave the frame and hardnose intact. Or maybe we're looking at some evidence of interrupted radiator thieves?
I am also wondering what they pulled with these guys? I see hydraulics and don't see any CCUs or trunnions. Maybe large land planes?
So being a California taxpayer, it looks like I'm buying someone a new tractor (or several)! Old Moonbeam strikes again!

That piece of human excrement we have as a governor was voted in by a bunch of brain dead "New age" voters looking for free handouts and all the rest of the Communist/Socialist agenda he stands for IMHO.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"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."
