    Do you doze in first or second?

    As I am a new operator. I run only in first and for the most part not even full throttle. I am not good enough at faster speeds. I also pay my own repair bills and not on an hourly clock so nobody thinking I'm padding the bill. So I think in the long run its what conditions are you running...

    Bought Cat D5

    Congrats on the dozer purchase, I looked at a nice d5 in tabor ia before I found my 6c next door to me. For a first dozer I was less intimidated by the size of the D5. Hope all goes well. Dave

    D7-3t friend snapped cross shaft

    Thanks for the input guys. I got a chance to look at his dozer today not for long though its outside and cold and windy here. Sounds pretty straight forward and I have set backlash on car rear ends. I will encourage him to invest in a service manual also. One question are there any special...

    Back at last!!!and I FINALLY bought me a dozer!!!

    best wishes jdDozerman and hope things go well with the 14c. There is a 1983 F.A. 14c on craigslist in southern Iowa that I was going to check out. They look like a good dozer but I found a D6C 8 miles away. Dave

    Looking for a good older dozer.

    I am also new to this but from what I understand in searching is a D6B is not much different than the later D6-9U's it will be non turbo, gear drive, dry brakes and steering clutches. it will have a oil bath main clutch. I think there could be some transmission differences but not sure about...

    new to me D6C 10K question

    ADVICE pls!! JD6675 vs case1845c vs bobcat 753

    I have a 7775 deere that I like quite well. This series from deere including the one you are looking at is actually made by new holland. The lift on them is very inventive as they lift the load more strait in the air. Mine has a Yanmar diesel and i believe the 6675 does also. Most parts that i...

    new to me D6C 10K question

    Thanks all for the replies. I will check linkage for wear first but I will be doing a complete service on the d6. I assume it is not good with the transmission skipping neutral when changing directions. The trans seams fine it pulls great and shifts 1-2 shift fine but haven't had it in third...

    new to me D6C 10K question

    Dozer delivered on Wednesday and got to operate it for a couple of hours. The only thing I can find wrong is it's really hard to find neutral. When you decel and shift to neutral nothing happens unless you really slap it hard forward then sometimes it will go to neutral. Mostly it goes...

    advice on dozer D6 9u or newer

    advice on dozer D6 9u or newer

    Well I want to thank everyone for commenting on the D6-9U but I drug my feet to long and its gone. Working out ok (maybe) as a buddy of mine is done on his land with his D6C 10K. More money but I know the dozer and even the owner before him so If he doesn't back out it should be mine. Dave

    advice on dozer D6 9u or newer

    Thanks for the replies. That is exactly what I was curious about is the operation of this old of machine. I believe this is a 5 speed with shuttle shift. Never been around shuttle shift so thinking the way that works is stop machine release clutch and move lever engage clutch, also this would...

    advice on dozer D6 9u or newer

    D6 9u Thanks Tom for the response. Haven't checked back for a few days as did not seem anyone wanted to respond. Are you experienced with the 9U? I have been told from a friend that it is a lot of work to operate these old dozers. This concerns me as I do have a bad right arm, I can...

    advice on dozer D6 9u or newer

    Hello new to the forum and new to wanting a dozer. I've been reading and learning as much as possible but still know just enough to be dangerous. Have plenty of work for a dozer on a farm here in Iowa but do not have unlimited funds. I am looking at d5 96j, d6c. The d6 9u looks very good, wet...
