Hi there from an old kiwi dozer operator and owner of many dozers in my fifty six years of operating and owning heavy machinary, The D 6 C was and still is a very good model , it and the D 6 D were two of the better D 6 s Caterpillar built in my opinion for what ever it may be worth, Your machines looks to be in fairly good order , very tidy indeed, Unfortunately for those around me I am still addicted to operating heavy machinery and am at present time in the Northern Territory of Australia on a vast 1.2 million acre cattle station operating a Caterpillar 16 H grader , now in my 71st year I know it is only a matter of time when the inevitable days arrives that I'm going to have to hang up my boots for good , Enjoy your D6 C , truly a very capable and nice well balanced machine to operate. Cheers and thanks for sharing your video from an old 1953 model kiwi ,
Ran heavy equipment since 1974. Still doing it some cranes that ive run had generators for magnets that reel is like the reel for power cable /magnets on our cranes
My Dad bought a Bay City cable crane 40 years ago with a similar Cat D315 with the same pup start engine for his scrap metal operation. You could tell when he started the two cylinder pup engine by its high pitched sound. Then he started the D315 with it.
Nice tractor. I've given up looking for an older D6(for play) after searching for 10 years. When I find one that grabs my attention, it's either west of the Mississippi or up in the New England area: too far to transport.
Hello Evan, Please Email me with your contact information about the Fleetstar International Tandem on rt8. My email is dp2004@roadrunner.com. Thank you.
I just came across your channel and wish I'd of found it sooner. It's pretty cool seeing that machine being used on a jobsite by the people who restored it and not sitting along the highway as yard art or a sign for a business. The White, Bantam and lowboy trailer are a great looking combination.
Those Red Diamond gas engine's were very good and they held up well the 450 even had dry sleeves so it was rebuildable in the frame. Those Fleet Stars were very popular trucks with IH I am old enough to have mechanicd on them.
Runs great looks great thank you for investing blood sweat and tears oh ya and money! I always love it when a nice old piece of iron gets saved from the shredder! It makes me happy and keep up the good work!😀🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing! Very much enjoyed watching! Never in my 61 years of life have I seen that style of lowboy. At one time here on our farm we had koreing 605 and a lorein drag lines we moved and pieced together to run to enlarge our water capacity for irrigation needs . It’s all gone but the memories.
You can't beat an Ol' flat track Cat. In my opinion the D6C's were one of the best. I miss working on them from my early years as a Cat heavy Mechanic. Thanks for the video Dennis, can't wait to see this Ol' Girl in action.
What year is that dozer ? I'm a 1953 model and I don't start that easy after just taking a nap. Hope to see more of it working at the job site. Thanks for sharing.
We used to have this identical grader to do our 6.5 mile road to my familys lake/hunting camp. Hard wworking grader but we blew head gaskets quite a bit, may have had a warped head i cant remember now. Awesome video!
My grandfather had a truck mounted version of this with the slant 6. It was set up with the cable hoe and had the crane boom and clam bucket for it..awesome restoration would love to see it in person sometime.
The spark plug and gas intake are in the chamber behind the start valve. . Have seen one of those old galions with the 6 cylinder version of that engine. An old farmer around here would always switch his back and let it run on gas for a minute or so before he shut it down. Claimed it made it easier to start next time, especially when using the hand crank.
I just subscribed to your channel after watching you on Dane's about your White. Thanks for the great video. I've been a Heavy Equipment Mechanic for 24 yrs and love old iron and trucks. Thanks again and hope to watch many more. Watching from Nebraska.
