Out of all the heavy equipment ever engineered, this one is my favorite of them all. I love the sound now of that engine. Thank you Justin for sharing this one with us. I would love to see more of it if possible.
I never got a 9 but the old pony 8H was a bull. 7F and the 6B had glow plugs. Don't need hi-tracks to do a job. That one needs a straight pipe. BLESS Yall!
Am I the only here that is hearing one of the track rollers crying out for help? Or maybe the finals:( I hope I'm wrong:) sorry my mechanic OCD kicked in:) That is really weird a machine that works for more than 5 years and doesn't light on fire who knew? The 70's D9 is my dream machine. I will find one and do a 100% overhaul on it and it will run 40 years without the need for a 3000 dollar laptop and 10 plus visits form a factory tech fresh out of dumb school. For real the pasted 8 mechanics i called in to work on "one" 2014 excavator came out hooked up a laptop failed to understand what the problem was or even turn the laptop on ffs. Never touched the machine with a wrench and charged me 3 grand every time. I spent 1 day with an actual tools in my hands and fixed it. I found out later one of the mechanics that came out for a trouble shoot had no fn clue what he was doing he talked to me about how he's going to fix it than quit his job the next day that costed me 3k. That pile of chit talked to me and lead me on like a used cars salesman. One of the turds went in the cab and knocked out all the acc port cutouts on the dash trying to find the laptop port. DERP DERPITTY DERP DERP, Like a teen in the dark on prom night looking for the hole.
I only have one critique, I was taught to never, ever, backblade on a cat. Not that it wasn't another great vid, love the beautiful noise of an old D9G.
Απόσυρση χτες δυστυχώς αυτά τα απολυθωματα του χτες θα πρέπει μόνο να κοσμούν Με παλιοσίδερα της μάντρες σιδηρών απορώ πως και δεν αγοράζεται καινούργια μηχανήματα Με αγάπη από Ελλάδα,,,,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder how many times this old girl has been rebuilt?…many would say the 9G’s and 9H’s are obsolete, but they sure can push dirt!!..I would have to say the high drive Cats with bogie rollers are likely much better in the rock…I love the old school Cats but a D9R is just a joy to operate!!..
a question about these older machines and specifically caterpillar. if you had a cat bulldozer from the 1970's would caterpillar still be making parts for them? what about from the 1960's, 50's or 40's? where would anyone get parts to fix them? ( Im sure caterpillar would much rather you buy a new machine?)
Parts are getting harder to source from Caterpillar and some people report that the quality is not what it once was. There are aftermarket sources for most items.
That ol girl has earned her keep over the years! Love the sound of an old cat!!
Cat made those dozer’s so well they had to go back to the drawing board because they weren’t wearing out.
That Era machine made Cat what it is today. No electric control modules (ECM'S) running that mean looking hunk of iron. Just a talented operator.
I ran a old D8H and D8k.. then the D9L and D10. CAT'S first elevated sprocket Dozer. D348 Engine.. could listen to that ALL DAY... LOVE CATS
Those first L series tractors were Way over built. Moved the 8L up and it became the 9N and the 9L up to become 10N then introduced the 11N.
@oldironguy yes. Ran all of those. Great machines. Great engines
50 years old and still going strong!
Old is gold. Thank you for uploading, was a pleasure to watch 👍
Cut my teeth on one of them in the late 70’s . Straight stack, no muffler, and a pony motor . I see this fella has the ac on! 👍👍🇺🇸
66A, Probably the best tractor Cat ever made. They were/are bullet proof. Thanks again PA for another great video.
Bloody legendary machine the d353 engine has the best sound ever absolute grunt machine
Out of all the heavy equipment ever engineered, this one is my favorite of them all. I love the sound now of that engine.
Thank you Justin for sharing this one with us. I would love to see more of it if possible.
D9G still working wow 👍👍👍
Worked alongside some D9H in my early mining days. Legendary tractor 💪💪💪
Only problem with this video, is it's way too short!! Thanks PAMining!
PA M,
Great video of my all time favorite Cat dozer. Also a smooth operator. Happy holidays to you and yours.
Thanks, Boe 👍🎄
Where you plug in Scanner for ECM?
😅😅😅
Jpaydirt goes super in depth on his D9G and D9Hs
I never had the opportunity to operate a D9 but I've spent many hours running D8Hs and D8Ns, love to operate dozers.
Can you imagine how many times this old girl has paid for herself?
Old school knuckle buster! Love it
Love these videos, been binge watching them

Pure magic, love these old Cats.
The caterpillar D9 Dozer is a Marine's best friend when clearing jungles!!!!
Dear Santa:
All I want for Christmas is every cat made in this era. From D3 to D9. I swear I was good at least one day this year.
No doubt the best Dozer ever built👍
Nice dozer working like its 1980. It does need a reskin on the blade though pretty quick.
That ole girl looks rough, and still working strong
Makes me want to buy old
Dozer d8 or d8. There is a lot of old iron here in PA!
Bulldozers are my favorite.
Old School Dozer.

You can see the newness starting to work its way out of the blade.
Nice Video
Imagine me. On a D9G.
With the throttle opened wide.
The roar from the stack.
The squeal of the track.
And a blade that could stop the tide.
Nice!

why?
He got that song Smooth Opperator in my head
Love it!

@@Dave_9547 thanks.
If you compared the size of of a d9 and a fiat allis fd50 which one’s bigger and by how much
The HD50 was more in line with the D10. Big tractor.
Going great for its age, is that a coal mine?
Brava 👍collega
👋👍
Something is begging for some grease!
