This is our 1979 Cat D9H after it had a bath. Not bad looking for a 34 year old dozer

Still seeing yellow paint on the blade surface suggest very low hours or was it re-painted ?
Nice looking machine.

We only bought it before Christmas for an overseas customer who then backed out of the deal and left us with it. I'm not too upset though as she is so nice. I'm sure someone else will come along for it. I will probably leave the pads as they are and let the next owner change them if they want. We didn't repaint it ourselves but I think it was done a few years ago. The old machines really just keep going and going. I think this dozer will still be working somewhere in the world in 20 years time.

Looks good and well cared for. Always like to see people take pride in their equipment

Nice looking tractor, but the blade is hooked up incorrectly in the bottom blocks where its hitched to the push frame.

Well after the blade gets put square it might be worth fitting the 1 track on the correct way to make it look the part???

I love the Wing Mirror, this could be handy
