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 ,

That Bantam looks like a brand new machine

Now that is a fantastic machine. Chain driven , superb

I'm here becaus I like old equipment found in the woods

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

The old d6cs and d6ds was the best

Love that vintage equipment!

Thanks for all your body work and restoration! Great bodywork fabrication! 😊

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.

This old boy is gonna melt the battery cables

There are only two diesels in the world that will start from the grave that easily - and that's the 3304 and the 3306

Some didn't have them. From the factory

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.

Curious why there is no turbo--did you remove?

Cannot beat an old cat! That thing started right up like it ran yesterday!

can I buy this truck? I have a fleet of loadstars painted the same colors. hate to see it setting on rt8 like that

I would have had to change my skivvies before that was over! Good work.

OMG, what a beauty! Hope it works as good as it looks. Good luck. Can’t wait to see more.

Great video and very cool machine. Thanks for sharing it

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.

were they the model before the Road Commander?

Finally, a truck with a Cummind V903, and it's hauling heavy equipment, that's awesome

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.

Would like to sell this truck if so please let me know I’m very interested

Neat machine. Glad it didn’t go to a scrapper

Hey you’re not going to get that shiny old girl dirty are you 😂😂😂🏗🇨🇦

Very neat, plus ya get to run the ole friction machine

Did you get the stone down there by little dump truck?

Lovely old machine looks to be in pretty good nick.

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.

This is a very interesting video.

Glad to see your videos are back. Hope all is going well.

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.

Any reason you didn't have a cable attached to the excavator down the hill as a brake

Hi Dennis what does that big pulley on the cranes boom main purpose is it for the clamshell bucket to stabilize ?

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.

Im surprised that hayward orange peal doesn’t dig better than that. Must be really hard ground

With the 2 stacks it must have a Cat in it.

Thanks for the great video Dennis.

Thanks

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.
