Cats Forever
Nice looking D4 Tinytec. Wish I had a winch on my D4-7U. The difference between a 6U and the 7U is the Track spacing, 44" for the 6U and 60" for the 7U. Welcome Aboard from the middle of the USA.
Thanks D4Jim! Yes she looks pretty nice because a previous owner painted her at some time. I bought it from a subsequent owner who used it for only a few months until he finished his few projects. The Zerk fittings are still covered with paint which means it hasn't been greased since who-knows-when.
Is that track dimension measured from center to center? Seems so I measured the track distance between the outside edges at about 5 feet. The CAT is about seven miles away, on the farm land where I grew up, so I can't run out and check it.

Nice machine! Interesting to see the slightly different linkages on the dozer lift cylinders.
"gauge" is measured from center of sprocket (track) to center of sprocket.
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.
