D6 9u

you should look out for the sickness that sometimes follow a new caterpillar arrival. the symptoms are to spend money and time in the need to restore and care for the new addition. the only treatment is to join the club and post many pictures,ask many questions to the others who share this affliction. i am afraid there isn't a cure for this but the treatment mentioned can help manage the symptoms.

Just the normal 1950's Cat issues. Pony motors being a bit finicky. Brakes and steering clutches that need to be kept in adjustment.

Not to be insulting, but what do you know the operation of that vintage machine. The brakes and steering clutch have no connectivity. You release the steering clutch then apply brake to make shorter turns.

Good luck. When in drought ask the answers are here.

Well that sickness has already started as this is cat No.3 for me let alone all the other earth moving equipment I have pictures will definitely be coming as soon as I pick it up

my condolences

You will need booster shots from time to time but they do little good to alleviate the urge.

hope it's just a bug and not a virus......(sorry)(not really)

Welcome.. I just joined this forum as a neighbor gave me his 1959 D6-9U and I'm starting to get into it.
