My first dozer I ever bought was a D9g, 66a9560. Man did that machine move dirt, too bad it broke down often and at the time it was just too expensive for me to operate. Now, 16yrs later, I'm looking at buying it back just a yard machine.
Buddy has two of these with blades here in Kansas City. Make offer but don't forget- you gotta figure out the logistics of getting them to your place. (Lol - you COULD JUST DRIVE THEM !)(It's not you need roads or anything - just make your own !)
That started up fast as a new car kind of amazing You must have gone through Tested the starter primed it I'm guessing you did all that before but it sure did start up fast faster in my new truck She's a nice old cat
Next time you start a d9g when it starts step on both steering breaks and slip it in gear for a split second intill you feel the breaks push back aginst your feet an old mechanic named Herold Parker taught me that
This dozer worth repair just get used blade semi u or c frame and this dozer will pay himself.i run this thing western canada tough machine.good luck and thank you video😊
Is your shop near the McClymonds yard at US 422 & I 79? I watched several of your videos and noticed several McClymonds trucks. I'm only about 15 minutes from the yard.
It just amazes me that people park this stuff and forget they have it. It's worth a few coins. Way more than salvage. Why let it rot out in the weeds??
I subscribed to this channel because I thought there would be a lot of videos about repairs and restoration, etc. but none of this, so I unsubscribe and recommend it to the other subscribers.
Have had a lot going on at work for the past few months and haven't had much free time to get into the builds just yet but should be in the next couple weeks. Just putting out videos of something rather than nothing. Thanks.
That machine is definitely worth fixing in my opinion.
I can’t believe it cranked right up like that! What a machine! The ones built today won’t sit for 10 years and fire when they’re 50 years old.
I like how effortlessly she came alive, they don’t make them like this anymore. Great video!
That is one big kitty! You just can't keep down the old iron. CAT made some amazing engines back then.
One of the best Cats ever built D9g
What an old sweetheart!
That started with much less fuss and drama than many other D9 starts I have watched on youtube!
D9-G has to be the best old style dozer ever built, I need a couple.
That thing went really good for 10 years of sitting amazing started up with frozen alternator they made good starter back then

Diesels are very forgiving. As long as there are no air or water in the fuel system they will usually fire right up after years of sitting dormant.
What an amazing machine to fire up that fast sitting for 10 years. Are you going to fix the transmission? Make some good content for future videos.

10 years or 10 months? Tracks don't move like that after 10 years. Its a gem for sure though. Would love to have it.
I be dam just started right up like you just got off it
But.. but...but...but. Take a drink every time he says "but".

When the one we had quit steering to the left we had to fix it and during that week he drilled it in my head lol
What is the point of doing that?
@@rod5262 I wanna say it has something to do with the hydraulics and making it easier to start? Could be wrong
Magnificen
Very nice Service Truck 🤟

D353 engine there great engines 385 HP the H model D9 has the same engine but with Aftercooling it makes 410 HP
Use those tractors for pipe layers or side booms. Called 594’s. Lift 200000lbs
Hate to see these sit and rot.
I need one of those
What's the plan (if there is any) with the dozer ?
I'd give that old girl a home if I had the space.
Get yourself a tripod man, getting sea sick watching this one.

Short cut it starts moving around 7:15 mark.
That was great!!!
D9 #1.
For its time was the biggest dozer cat made and mabe biggest cat of its time
I'd call JPay dirt he needs another 9 he got 3
He on the tube
You said checked the fluids , is that ten year old fuel it cranked on
Yes it was still held prime for 10 years or so. Just topped up the hydraulic oil.
Worth fixing
