Just bought this from a ranch close by, I’ve wanted it for a few years. Don’t know much about these or how to operate but I have plenty of space and time to learn. It’s a factory turbo, runs great, tilt cylinder has a class 3 leak, I’ll send that off to get rebuilt. But the main priority is getting the right steering brake repaired/ adjusted. It’ll turn, but once you pull the steering clutch lever to disengage, you really gotta mash that pedal hard for it to steer right. Left side turns like butter. Couldn’t pass it up for $6,000. I did have to hire out the transportation.

Give the old D6 a good going over, fix what you can, farm out the rest and then enjoy moving some dirt. That old crawler will probably out live a lot of us.
 
I am sooooooo jealous. Hell here I come for coveting my neighbors goods.
 
Dang....dozers must be the new rage, lol. There's a guy on Moparts, who lives in Texas that just got a big ol front end loader for free!

Got a Free Caterpillar 977! Now What???

I spend a fair amount of time in FB Marketplace and have been looking for a vintage Cat dozer for a while, when this popped up - a 977H, listed as inoperable. It was on a 130 acre farm/ranch near Killeen, TX that some investors had bought. Farm/ranch went belly up and they sent in someone ...

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
 
Yep, "Killdozer." He certainly slid off his cracker, but only after the local government screwed him.
