A D9G Follwed me home today "Ex Mashuda" machine

[TimT]

After a year of thinking and some horse trading, I got my hands on this ex Mashuda Corporation 9G. It seems to be a very good old dozer that has sat for years, all fluids were clean, very good undercarriage, we put the blade on yesterday and I bought it. The D9G has always been my dream tractor. It will now reside near my 36A D8H.

Your going to have to build a bigger shed Tim .

Nice find !

 

[Don k]

Wow, you can do some damage with that machine.

Looks to be setup for pushing scrapers? Nice looking dozer. I like the older stuff better.

A bigger shed and more acres to play on!

 

[Ronsii]

Nice!!!! Bigger is always better

One of these days maybe one will follow me home... I know a couple of 2U's did

I live about 20 minutes from the old Mashuda shop. Man that was a complex. If the car dealer, which was 5 minutes from it didn’t have they would call them. Mashuda usually had it in stock.

Love it! Looks like original paint.

I spend many nights on one of Ralph's old 9G's ... in Follansbee, WV.
Look for any signs of her landing on her right side .... nicks/scratches along the top right of the ROPS ..... I think I remember the right running board got bent up too. Broke 3 ribs in six placers ... Collar bone ... & both rotor cuffs.
I have a few pictures of her. (not on the side)

Every body always says "if they had a D9". I reckon you can back it up. I'm guessing you burned 5 gallons of fuel in that video. I'd like a D7G to do some occasional pushing couple hundred hours a year.

Glenn, If this is the one, its not obvious.. everything is straight, ROPS, Running board, all ok. The machine's Mashuda ID is B1-132 ....would love to see pics of any of Mashuda's 9's.

Hey I have a couple stumps in my yard that I'd like gone, any chance you could swing over to the house and do that for me?

Your Cat D9 with the inside push blade would fit up perfect behind my Cat DW-21 scraper. They were matched up as a pair by Cat when new.

Congrats on the new machine! Back when a Cat was a Cat, no need for all the bling bling electronics. The go to machine down here was a D7G. All the oil field guys had them. Although much smaller they were tough and simple. It was a different time. Enjoy that beast!

That 9 makes my old 7E look like a kids toy. Enjoy it!

I love the old Mashuda D9G action photos. nice to see an old machine working alongside modern machinery.
