D69U questions

X2 on the tracks. That's a good price if everything is like he says and the undercarriage is good. There are options that make for a nicer machine. Most are the late changes, just before the D6B came out, but at 13263 the oil clutch was introduced. Late changes include grease track tensioners, double V-belt fan drive etc.

Compare specific repairs to the machine to ensure each was done😆.

Then see it started from cold, warmed up and operate it before you decide.

Went and looked and operated dozer, barley bumped the starter and she came right to life, transmission shifted good, clutch, and steering clutches worked great. Cable control had a lot of slack in the lever. But the main killer of this deal was while I was working her. Pushed a small pile, had great power no misses or white smoke, but the right side track near about skipped a link when I put her in reverse. Got off and looked and the right hand side had only one working roller, the rails where ate up from rubbing on the track guards, the left side was fine. For 6500 bucks it would have been worth it, if I didn't have to put 10k worth of work on the undercarriage just to make the old girl workable. 😆

Cat Boy, you don't say were your located, I'm in bakersfield Ca . But I have some near perfect undercarriage for a D6 U series. The plan was to put the tracks on my R5 unless I sold the tracks for enough $$$

I'm down MS, I think I'm just gona wait on buying a dozer right now. I have a D9 already getting a rebuild so I don't think I should waste money on another dozer😆
