i remember the first time i drove one of those, at the time it was the biggest dozer i'd been on. we owned D8Ks and D8Hs but we hired a D9H just like that for a job we had on. my brother said 'this is going to be like nothing else you've been on' and he was right. I put the blade down and started pushing... then put it down some more... and some more and some more. humps where you'd have to lift the blade over in the D8, it just pushed straight through those. great fun
I use to rebuild the transmissions on these D9's D8's and D7's back in the mid 70's at a Cat dealership in Indy. Flat rate was 24 hrs on a D9 trans and I could do it in slightly less time than that including testing. Enjoyed that job more than any one at the dealership. GOOD TIMES. Great machines backed by a great company.
Nice to See That old D9 bulldozer is Restored and he's going to work Again and also i like the Black Smoke came from exhaust its look like a sleeping monster is Awake Again😎

Hi,@@deborahchesser7375 and thanks for your comment. You bet, 60 tons of Cat quality. I don't see any modern engine in its displacement class which compares with the Cat D353 diesel, the perfect match for the D9H, like love & marriage and ham & swiss!! The only exception, there is one modern engine which would compare to the Cat D353 and it's the Cummins QSK23, an in-line 6 as well, with a dry weight of 3,245 kg/7,139 Lbs., a real brute!!
My hat off to you gentlemen for an excellent restoration. A tribute to a great dozer, the CAT D9H and to one of the best CAT engines, the CAT D353. For its displacement the D353 is a very heavy block. I like the sound of the D353's low idle at the very end, I can't get enough of that sound!
No doubt Robert. Just priced a new one at my cat dealer in Ohio and its $1,180,000. with no ripper. I have a d9h and a d9g that i make a living with. I'd take that restored H any day over a new one! My G is one year younger than i am. It's a 1971. Lol
I’ve driven a d7g from the era of that dozer it was pretty cool to be up there on that thing I am thirteen and those machines are pretty fun to operate
First dozer I ever drove...with my Dad when I was about ten...it went "this does that,that does this, off you go,drive it up that road to the workshop,park it a bay one....middle of the night in a coal mine in NSW....Dad drove off in the work truck...😀45yrs ago....get on the news and locked up if we did that these day....
The D9 H they added after cooling to the turbo to bring up HP to 420 I think the the G model had 385 HP they shared the same engine model The D353 great engine
if I recall dressed out with the ripper and blade a 160 tons back in the day it was cats like that that did all the heavy work. great looking job done to it. by the looks of that truck this isn't in the US.
I was an operator with local #3. I always wanted one of my own and a piece of land. I'd create my own little paradise- the pad for a house, roads, shop, lake, maybe a D9 exhibition track- D9 Rodeo competition facility, with poll dancers, beer, and peanuts. I don't need an environmental cab. Just water, salt tablets, and ear plugs. Maybe 631B scraper?
These old D9H’s were monsters back in the day. Still are,and you gotta love that how effortlessly they rolled the black smoke. Good old days before the EPA’s bullshit started ruining it.

Awesome restoration. It's as pretty as a hot rod.
Several decades this was the King dozer. Its still a big dozer
Beautiful job! I was a cat mechanic 🧰 for 42 years. They were absolutely great machines! 1473 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine..

This is the best low drive sprocket version of the D9, built to last, 60 tons of Cat quality ✌️🇺🇸

@@petermalanchuk8210 I’ve seen the QSK on gen sets, it’s definitely a beast.

That's a beautiful machine love seeing these old giants rebuilt
Machine is worth more now then when it was new. Great job!

Nothing like a restored old dozer when it is done perfectly .......
Complete overhaul

That blade at 2:02 is a thing of beauty....
14' I believe. I remember looking out the window into the mirror of our pull rig, my dad behind the wheel and seeing nothing but blade!
That ol girl ready to go another 20,000 💪
Rollin coal and dirt🤙
Complimenti al restauro di questo BELLISSIMO D9🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝👏👏👏👏🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

Essa máquina es una reliquias yo aprendí en unos de esos aquí en república Dominicana bendiciones para esa jente 💪
Eu amo isso gente aí tem força viu nenê 💪💪👍👍
Nice solid piece of iron
IMHO,, one of the BEST,, if not the best, dozers Cat has ever made, short of AM/FM and AC like the 10T i spend 12 hrs a day on now
Nice restoration from a cat follower 🚜
She’s a beauty. Love that vintage pac man logo ✊🏼
I love the old Cat iron D9 G from the late 1960s
Beautiful job spent many hours on one of those old buggers
Now that is a sight for sore eyes, beautiful restoration, perfect paint job … hats off the company that restored her ..
We agree!
just over 50 tonnes as it sits dressed with blade and ripper
Buena. Maquina.y.buen.maquinista 👍
Bah mas e bonito ver um cat reformado 😊😊😊😊
New one's don't hold a candle to the old iron.
That is clean and beautiful
Beautiful resto…hope you did some sound deadening and interior work in the cab
Yep, I would take that over a 2021 tractor any day of the week!!!!
Hell of a restoration 👌
Damn that is sharp… I’d hate to get it dirty!🤣
Awesome
Very nice to see this kind of mechine working again
Isn't that a Beauty?!!!!!!!
PERFECT.....NICE JOB.......BRAZIL HERE
Bloody Hell That Blade Looks Like Brand New, Well done what a smart job 👍🏻🇬🇧✅
Maravilla de máquina ❤
I loved it so much indeed.
Very impressive!! That's what I need to relocate a terrible neighbor into the next County. 😂
Beautiful restoration! Was it repowered with a more current engine?
What a true beauty!
I push loaded quite a few 631 scraper with one of these. No cab but it did have ROPS. Very stout tractor.
Yo hice un D9G a escala 1--5. Mide 1 mtr. 40 Cms de largo. Pesa 62 Kgs y tiene motor 2 tiempos. Idéntico
Beautiful. Thumbs up.
That will go for another 40 years,the sexy beast
I hope the rest of it is in as good a shape as the paint job. Looks great!
Machenic very good
Would love to have seen the actual restoration
Check out AJ MORRIS LTD page there’s plenty of photos on there
410hp - Biggest D9 with conventional flat tracks.
Great efforts...
The D9 H they added after cooling to the turbo to bring up HP to 420 I think the the G model had 385 HP they shared the same engine model The D353 great engine
Looks great, but small compared to current machines.
What an absolutely beautiful restoration. Astonishing work. I wonder how many hours it took to complete this….1,000 or more I’m guessing?
And the money too.
Beast! And a sweet triple axle Volvo too 😊
Nice work.
We Move the Earth should be Caterpillar's motto.
Great job! Worked many days in one of those
My oh my, what a beautiful job.
if I recall dressed out with the ripper and blade a 160 tons
back in the day it was cats like that that did all the heavy work. great looking job done to it. by the looks of that truck this isn't in the US.
This is the UK..we have our own trucks here
No. Not even close.
This puts us back in the day when we had real operated not push button stuff!!
Dang that's purdy !!!!!........great job.
They did a great job
New tractor, strong and powerful 🦾🦾🚜
I was an operator with local #3.

One pretty kitty wish my 8k was restored
Like a Swiss watch.
Last dozer I had pleasure of working was a D9n. ..boss bought it cause i told him the D8 was killing my back running over IRON Ore
Dang, that is one amazing beauty. Hate to know what the restoration fee was on that. Whatever the fee it's money well spent.
Saw that parked at the entrance to their yard when my company was renting a little corner of it.
Fantastic looking d9 , even better in person.
Love these old cat tractors
Oh that is nice!!
Looks awesome , but why paint the tracks ?
Is that the one they had parked at the entrance to their yard ?
Nice resto
No this is the main project
They are still such a good machine. 1st class Lovely job.
Nice job, love 💘❤ it.
