Differences between a CAT D6 and a D7
Alfred, the D7, came out with the 7S Straight Blade that tilts many years ago. If the blade on this 17A doesn't tilt, it must have been changed out to a much older blade. Check and see if it has turnbuckles attached near the top of the blade. If it does, then it will tilt. D6 Bo -

Hourly rate
I have about 30 acres of 3 and 4 year old pine stumps 6" to 10" and many of them are rotten enough to kick over. I plan to clip the area with a pasture clipper. Southerman, have you checked to see how sound they are? D6 Bo -

Identify an old D6
The dry clutch does not make it weak. The oil clutch is more trouble-free. I have owned both. -

Identify an old D6
I don't know when in 1953 that the oil clutch came out, but since it is a 1953, it's a good chance it has it. The rails look pretty good also. I have owned several. They are tough tractors. -

Field Drainage Pipe
I have seen threads on here where drainage pipe is plowed in with tractors. What kind of pipe is used? The reason I am asking is that I have a wet area in my lawn that needs draining. All the pipe that I see such as Flex Drain recommends burying the pipe in gravel Which I do not want to do. I... -

Cable vs. hydraulic
Until the 1960's all the Cats around here were cable. The Internationals were hydraulic. The consensus was if you are going to buy a Cat get cable and if you are going to buy an IH, get hydraulic. I did own a 1941 IH Td 14 with a cable blade and it was the pits. Later, at different times, I... -

1952 Caterpillar D4 clutch issues
