[quote="Misterskill"]Went out to have a look at a potential parts 'dozer today for my D9G. Turns out this relic was a 49A (D9E?). Direct drive. Anyway looks like someone had a go fixing it a few years back (10 at a guess) and left it open to the elements.
Now it's in the middle of a quarry 60kms out of town and hasn't started for years. Big motor exhaust has been left open plus the bits missing as you can see.
Maybe a few bits i could use (hydraulic pump, pony motor, air cleaner bases) but not worth dragging home unfortunately.
It's a shame, my offsider worked with this machine in the mid to late 80's and it was tidy as, really well looked after.
Few pictures.

That is a shame as they are to good to just let sit.... I will take better pictures of my D9G to show everyone but damn just hate seeing a pile of parts just wasting away... Thanks for sharing...
Time to break out the tools and the 50:50 auto transmission oil/acetone!
It’d be a good New Years resolution...

For 2030 maybe!
As long as the weep hole on the turbo-charger is not clogged, the engine might not be stuck at all... Drag it home.
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.
