Older International Dozer
To me, the main track undercarriage looks fairly sound according to the photos. If the drive sprocket segment bolts happen to come out easy (ha-ha), then I assume it would be ok?? I love the old International machines, they had their faults, but no machine is perfect. It looks a neat looking... -

Phil, that looks like a UK builtTrack Marshall 55 Series Machine. The engine in the photo appears to be a Perkins 6.354 6 pot engine. "6" meaning 6 cylinder "354" is the size in cu-inch ratings which is 354 cu-inch. I cannot think of another engine type that positions the CAV DPA Rotary... -

More rare birds!
Hi there, The Dozer type in your photo is a British built Challenger 3. Taking a more in depth peek at the engine it very much looks like a later production model of this type as it has either the 9.6 Liter Leyland 0.600 or perhaps an 11.3 Liter Leyland 0.680, both are outwardly similar. The... -

Caterpillar D6KXL
Looks neat! Lets hope CAT revert back to the conventional track style rather than the hideous looking elevated sprocket with the larger models. Only then, I will appreciate CAT machines again. "Dream on" huh? Yeah, don`t wanna also open a can of worms with that "elevated" versus "conventional"... -

Kopy Kat Cat
I still think Cat products are the best around and believe these Cat Copies are not a threat to homeland production. In due respect, the licences that Cat sold were mainly whats known as obsolete production runs, eg, D7G, D6D and the advancement of technologies Cat are producing today are still... -

A BIG Green Thingummy.
I find the TC-12 a fascinating machine! Just one question that always bugs me, but never had an answer....what happens to the operational performance of the machine when one of the Jimmy 6-71N`s is down on power compared to its partner? How much deviation is allowed on full power of both units... -

IH TD20 dozer.
Hi Deas, I drove one of these machines during the 70`s (from the age of 11). My relative used to operate a number of them for the North Eastern UK National Coal Board on some very tough work. I used to have my flings with them on weekends and school holidays. The machine in your photo is a Brit... -

Brand new D11R couple of Pics
Thanks for the welcomes and replies guys. Loved earthmovers all my life but I am early retired from them due to arthritis problems. Struggle to climb into machines now and too big and heavy to maintain. When I get approval to post messages, I have some input to add with various topics, but at... -

Brand new D11R couple of Pics
Hi, I am replying as a new Member who has joined within the last 24hrs. Anyway, enjoyed looking at the new D11R and having read so many posts from extremely educated chaps regarding CAT Dozers, I would like to ask if any of you think CAT may ever leave the "Elevated Drive Sprocket" layout in...
