    Chrome shaft pitting repair back yard

    A lot of their stuff is just older stuff they import from places like the UK, USA etc where no one wants them. Old dozers in the USA really are dirt cheap or used to be compared to other parts of the world where there are less of them. Even here in Australia for decades we have had dealers...

    My D6D

    Well I have ordered a new genuine part from Cat. I have heard from another source that when it comes to these dimensionally critical parts, aftermarket can be a crap shoot. I have also finished off making another one of these thinning bars. This one is made up of 3 metre sections and is...

    My D6D

    Back to my problem with the track frame alignment. It certainly is in the location of the outer support. Glum suggests just stacking on more shims. Problem with this is the two pins that stick out to stop rotation of the shims and the outer plate and the nut lock, do not stick out very far...

    Chrome shaft pitting repair back yard

    ROFL, notice when they are straightening in the press the press operator has the sense to at least try to hide behind the press uprights. Meanwhile the camera operator is just standing there ready to be a target should the dodgy extension piece come flying out. Now that's dedication to getting...

    Adding Rippers to a Cat D6H diff steer

    A bit of an afterthought. Have you considered adding a set of rear remotes while you are at it in case you pull some implement down the track? Nor knowing what your application is going to be, but if agricultural, you can do some different stuff.

    Adding Rippers to a Cat D6H diff steer

    Well these new fangled machines run higher pressures so can run smaller diameter cylinders and less oil flowand have the same travel speed and same breakout force as bigger rams with lower pressures, but bigger flows that the old reliable machines have. :)

    Adding Rippers to a Cat D6H diff steer

    With the diverter valve what size pipe does it use? 1/2" or 3/4? I am guessing at that flow rate 1/2" pipe. 80l/min seems a bit small to me, especially since you have twin rams on your rippers. Don't also forget you will need one that is closed so that the oil gets blocked when not diverted...

    They might terrorise you with the prices for said parts. :D :D

    CAT D6C info

    Yea it is a 46J direct drive non turbo D333C @ 125hp. The engine will have the same serial number as the machine, if it is still original. Equivalent to a 55J.

    D9D 18A Final Drive Pinion Flange

    Don't forget the stick welder just to make sure it does not come loose after you finish beating it to death with a hammer. :D

    D6D LGP powershift, missing connection of air transfer tube from transmission to rear of torque converter

    I would be putting it back on as it seems all the D6C and D6D powershifts all have that line. (that part number starts way way back in the 74A D6c's of the early 1960's) It is there for a reason.
