I grew up with # 25 & 29 cable controls, if everything was in good shape it was a good system, if you have enough cable on the drum the dozer would go down indefinately unlike hydraulic that rods out. Got expensive to maintain and operators that knew how to run them retired. Just don't spill fuel on your brake band or the dozer won't stay up, don't ask me how I know By the way for you cable guys the lined discs out of a D7 dry deck steering clutch work in the 25 & 29 ccu. Toward the last they got so expensive we started buying good discs from the junked out D7's. I like todays hydraulic dozers much better but glad I had a chance at old school cable
