1959 Cat D6 8U Dozer Working

[@Caje-zf8md]

Back around 1960 a contractor brought in a D6 with a FLECO canopy to remove the top soil of a couple of fields in our neighborhood to make way for some housing projects. Since then the D6 has always been one of my favorite tractors.

D6 was the first dozer I drove,back in 1978..

Great, Great video. Love seeing old CATS, at play. Notice the clutch work on forward and reverse. The Birth of a Hydraulic Dozer. It has FAST, travel speeds.

Great seeing old iron like that still working for a living.

Good morning, thank you for the video and a nice looking tractor! Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.

I love those old cats at work

Steering clutches are out of adjustment when under a hard load one track will slip. Never try to steer when digging.

Nice old D6 looks like a 29 cable control on back looks huge on back of D6!

Lovely to see! 👍😎

Where does the tablet go?

[@danvertdavis6867]

On push cycles he steers WAY TOO MUCH!!.... wearing the steering clutch discs and throw out bearing right out....

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Yup needs to let the machine do the work instead of playing with the controls

[@edmcelhone4501]

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

The operator looks like he's riding a chopper motorcycle :) . the blade controls could be cut for the operator to keep the elbow in the holder.

[@howardlevner1381]

Own a 1958 D68u, does not look as good as this one but still can push................................

[@aussiewood44]

what is he doing

[@blake20054]

Thinking of picking one of these up. It’s pretty rough. Anything crazy to look out for on this particular model?

[@frantisekleiterman2082]

Krásné!

[@edmcelhone4501]

25 cable control 29 is live power

[@danvertdavis6867]

He's ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THAT BLADE CONTROL ALSO!!....??cant operate....

[@kevinhemken748]

Agreed, I can't figure out what he's doing .

[@robsalisbury2550]

ASMR for men

[@kevinhemken748]

Looks like the steering cluches are getting hot , because sometimes hes pushing almost nothing and the doser is wanting to stop.
