Hey LilCatMec,
Good to hear from you... I just bought 2 D9's. One is a 18-a. I need an undercarriage. Take pictures of what you've got and post here for me. The other one is a D9e/49a. It's a great tractor. Rd4 is still waiting for you...

hi
where are the cats located. im in hillsboro and interested in 1 of the d9
Come to find out the one that needs the nose put together is a d8 14a, im on suavie Island, none are for sale, the gentleman just wants me to get them running again, glen i may be bringing a tandam axle gooseneck, if so im wondering if ill need at least a trip permit to haul it back?
got the d6 9u fired up after pulling the starter and cleaning it up, the Bendix would not return..
got the pony fired up on the d8 18a, but it kept running out of fuel/power before the main engine would fire, pulled the carb and didn't find anything that made me think it was the issue. cleaned the sediment bowl and opened the fuel shutoff with the sediment bowl off and there wasn't enough fuel to keep a straight stream. so I pulled the tank off (there was a lot of rust in the tank) and pressure washed it out, created a couple pin holes. so I jb welded it so I can get it running tomorrow. (were going to use por15 just wanting to make a quick fix for now)
the d7 17a is another story, pulled the carb because its overflowing through the up pipe, reassembled it, and its doing the same thing, tomorrow I'm going to pull it back off and check the float level.. the gearbox for the pony to main motor has milky fluid so I'm going to flush it, and I'm also not getting spark. going to pull the cap off and sand the points and see if she will throw a spark..
and I may be getting a 1466 IH for doing the easy work of getting these running again and putting them back together...
that's all I have for now!
What weight oil does that gearbox take? 80-90wt?
The gear box use 80x90 oil
well sounds like better than spring brake lol. well take lost of pic for us sound like your going to have a good summer. good luck

D7 17a finally has spark!!

"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."
