<p>My dad had a 1950's vintage D6-9U that I spent some time on back
in the late 1970's through mid 1990's. I also have a good memory
from a family vacation where Pop and I replaced the discs in the
master clutch. Hard, heavy work, but good times and great learning
about things mechanical. The Old Man surely knew his way around
engines and transmissions!</p>

Took delivery of a Cat D6D yesterday. My early Father's Day
present. It has a cab, but w/ an air conditioner that is gonna
need a lot of work... My old dozer was a D6 8U series about 1952
model... This is like the difference between a 4020 and a TO-30!!
Our old red clay is a pain to try to move with anything, but
this machine can move a bunch of it. I have been busy with
building crossings over the creeks. the cows use them more than I
do. It is so wet here that cattle go down to their knees when
within 6 feet of the water. Worked about 5 hours today with the
D6D and the 944 loader and built a crossing about 4 ft above the
creek and 100 ft long with a 24in pipe. I dug fill out of a 100
yr old railroad embankment with the dozer and hauled it with the
944... I love Cat equipment, its the gift that keeps on
giving!!!!<br>
