RFCDrum Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Took this today. Correct me if I am wrong but weren't these D6's built in Scotland? Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Here's a photo I took a few weeks back at work of our D6 when I was dropping it of at a dump site our trucks were dumping dirt at. Got a good picture of our last RB we have left for now. I have a feeling I'll be driving it to Toronto for the last time in a few weeks to the auction. I keep telling them they are stupid to part with it. I'd send a few others to auction and keep the RB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post doubleclutchinweasel Posted January 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2014 Here's one of the Cats equipped with a Rome K/G cutter blade, like I used to run.This is also how we loaded 'em before they started buying detachable gooseneck lowboy trailers! Came with a very high pucker factor! 3 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nothing like going up a wet ramp trailer and the damn machine turns sideways and you slide back down.how do those blades work? I have seen them mainly in fire service and power line stuff just never seen them in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen them mainly in fire service and power line stuff just never seen them in actionThere are a couple of different ways to use them. First, you can "grub" with them. This is where you actually put the cutting edge of the blade below the surface of the ground. You then basically "plow" the ground...trees & all. Some people call this a "Rome plow" due to this characteristic. This is usually done on hiway or gas line right of way...where you don't want to leave the stump. Or, you can sharpen the hell out of it, & run it flush with the ground and "cut" with it. This shears the trees off, & leaves the stump. This is generally done on power line and reservoir jobs, where the stump doesn't matter.The "buster" (or splitter or stinger) on the lh side is to split the tree if it's too big to shear in one pass.

Popular Post 85snowdog Posted March 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2014 I was checking things out at our local Ritchie Bros. auction. I wanted to share a pic of a Cat D11N. It was very cool, I have never seen a dozer that size.I looked up some specs on line to go along with it.2105.3 cubic inch, 3508 - 8 cylinder engine, produces 770 HPweight - 211304 lbs compared to a D9N - 93789 lbs ( don't think that includes the ripper,but not sure) 4 Quote Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 I believe that guy with the dozer worked at my dads buddies quarry for a while with his old old D9. He was ripping blue rock before the blaster could get in there. Possibly a different guy though 1 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullhusk Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I had one of those D8-K'S 77V ser. # non spacer D342 motor it was a good machine but when u worked it hard u would have to stop an let her cool down I did everything including pullin the rad.! The International TD25-C same vintage that I had could out push an slope better with the 2- speed steering and never ran hot I thought it was a better dozer but u couldn't beat Cat's PSR and could still get any part on that machine u needBULLHUSK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 funny you should mention the 77v getting hot, ours did the same, I was the new guy at the time so I didn't get to work with the real mechanics .any how after the in frame, rebuilt heads, recored rad. and still overheating on hard shoves. I invited myself to take a look and discovered two fan blades reversed. still didn't get to work with the cat mechanics. but they did have to credit us a bunch on that work order.

Pawel Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hello!Does anybody have a picture or a drawing that would show a Cat dozer (preferrably D7D or D7E) from the underside? Such pics are very hard to come by. And I'm not sure I understand well how the rails around which the tracks go attach to the body of the dozer. I believe there's a spring under the hull front - how does it look like? Thanks in advance, have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
