Sawdust chrome job. NICE 9. The 8 I herded had rippers. I'd like to hear that one snort. The 8 had a straight with a rain flap. Would give me shivers when the black smoke started pushing the flap up. ALWAYS! NEVER got bored on it or the 6B orC or green 7E or the yellow 7F. BLESSINGS!
In the islands nothing stays shiny for long due to all the rust. Good to see this unit gleam like that! What I would do to just spend 5 more minutes with my Dad ... For anyone out there, savor those moments. They are precious.
Sorry about losing Your Dad Todd. First video I saw and commented on of yours was the Yarder on the beach where the "Boat Motor" broke down. I was still in Glendale Calif. at that time. I moved to the Seattle area because my Dad wasn't doing well but I didn't know it. My rotten sisters never told me and He was so "Old School" He never would/did either. I was able to spend every weekend with Him for the last two months of His life. I don't regret the move one bit. I was installing commercial glass and aluminum right next to the Snohomish River where it goes under I-5. I saw a big dozer at a wood chip yard and its' blade, side support arms, undercarriage, tracks, sprockets and rollers were highly polished like that too. I thought it looked great all polished like that. It is incredible to think that wood chips would do this to steel but, it does.
Sorry to hear about your dad. I'll never forget the day my grandpa passed away, as I just seen him that morning and one of the things that I remember from that day is the freight train went by that day on its return trip back from doing its local work, as my grandparent's house borders the railroad track and I enjiyed being able to hear and see the trains when I visit.
Again Todd, I’m sorry about your dad. Lost mine in December unexpectedly. It’s pretty tough. I’m glad you got to enjoy this time with him and better yet, capture the moment.
My condolences and nice you chose to share that on your channel. Question: what made the metal on the D9 so shinny? Assuming the wood chips/pulp had something to do with it.
I used one pushing coal at a power plant. Had a D9G and aD9H. We could burn 1000 ton an hour. 70’s through mid 80’s then switched to D11’s. This would have needed a cab. You’d be dead of black lung in a year without. Them old pre combustion chamber engines had a special clack and a kinda sweet exhaust smell. Miss em , but the 11’s sure push coal!😊
Looks like your Dad lived a long and productive life. Raised up a fine son, also. RIP, Dad, (lost mine in 1967 when I was 14)
Sorry to hear of your loss, it makes me appreciate mine even more.

As soon as I saw that 9 I knew it was in wood chips of some kind. It’s transformative on a machine. Like putting it in a brass tumbler or something.

It’s always great when ya can do things with DAD!!!
Lost mine in 1991!
Thank you for showing this D-9er. It looks like it's currently used for wood chip piles. Great machine with that big blade for older Life work.
I'm sorry for the loss of your dad, enjoy the good memories and what you have learned from him.

Your dad has done a fine job
I enjoy all your videos
I lost my dad in 1996
Great video Mr
Keep it up
Those D9's were a good machine. Surprising how many of them are still working.
Huge! HUGE! A beast! And the excavator could use some grease to fix the squeak. Sad news about your dad. May he rest in peace. 💐
What a cool looking dozer, she really shines!!!. I could listen to that sweet engine note all day long and not get bored. Thank you for posting this
Beautiful machine, and well polished
Very sorry to hear of your loss. 😔
Soo good. You’ve lived a rich life. Keep it coming. You truly inspire me.
Very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. My condolences.
Nice piece of caterpillar equipment i like how they sound when they first wake up in morning when its time for getting work started
So sorry to hear about your Dad, really tough loss.
Good looking old machine, Sorry about your Dad.

It works a wood chip pile towards a conveyor feeder that fill barges on the river
Thank you for sharing.
Sorry about your Dad.

Looks like it was a coal pusher from a power plant.
