    Case 580C producing oil

    I have a Case 580C in excellent condition from all appearances, 3,500 hours, cab, barn kept, gets used very little. Never been in belly deep water in the 4 years I have owned it. All the fluids were changed about this time last year and I have probably put less than 100 hours on it since then...

    D6D Cat

    Is it best to strip from left to right(new sod being to my left, last pass to my right)? Or does it depend on the lay of the land? I tried just watching the left edge last night and It was a little easier to keep from gouging.

    D6D Cat

    About my first job on construction was using a D8 to push boulders to a fill. We were working on a road through limestone. When they blasted it there were giant boulders left because there were caves all in it. It was rough going. I quickly realized I needed to get really good on something...

    Caterpillar serial number/ year model

    Thanks Nige The plate has no zero before the "4" nor the "2". Why doesn't Caterpillar give this info away like everybody else?

    Caterpillar serial number/ year model

    Thanks, Nige I cannot find it online anywhere. Looks like all Cat serial number stuff is on pay sites. Looks like I need to put a 0 in front of it.

    D6D Cat

    Might have trouble with it- Fires up and runs really good. It steers OK except occasionally goes the completely wrong direction that I intended to turn it- especially backing up. Pushing seems to be the problem. For some reason it either heads toward the center of the earth with great...

    D6D Cat

    d9gdon, The same man I bought my dozer from has its full brother for sale. The difference in the serial numbers is 40 from the one I got. It has brand new batteries, rebuilt starter and new hose to tilt cylinder-all put on in the last week. Otherwise it is about the same as the one I bought...

    D6D Cat

    I will let you paint it. I keep equipment in top mechanical condition but I ain't much on painting. The guy I bought it from is going to put a new muffler on it. It started leaking through a rust spot yesterday when we fired it up. Also a new fuel filter and pre-cleaner bowl. This should...

    D6D Cat

    Well I now own a D6D. Sorta like the dog chasing the bus- What do I do with it now that I caught it? I guess I will rearrange God's work on my 42 acres. At least it gives my wife something to talk about.

    D6D Cat

    Landclearer, I am about 35 miles south of Lexington- Lincoln County Evidently the dozer market is not as good here as other parts of the country. This economic recovery our President, our Governor and the local Economic Development officials talk about sure ain't taking the rust off too many...

    D6D Cat

    A local man that ran dozers for many years has just retired. He has a Cat D6D(actually he has 2 of them) that he has had for several years. It was used when he bought it. He was the owner/operator and took very good care of his equipment. He did all his own mechanic work and replaced anything...
