Cat D9G

[dozerman8114]

It really hurts my feelings, to see a real operator.

[pOiSoNsPiDeR994]

nice to see one with a semi u blade

[localcrew]

This machine is in great shape for an old piece of iron, that's for sure. That undercarriage looks very good and it must be worth a fortune in and of itself. The operator sure knows what he's doing too. Got a bit of experience, I'd say. Great video. 

[dixiegurl2303]

i worked on one of them. had a bad injector on it.

[bansao77]

Holly crap and i thought the D9 videos were awesome man you D9G sounds sweet!! How many HP does it have?

[Amed2012]

the sound of the engine remins me when my dad used to rent bulldozers to do some earthmoving work in the farm

[blazeofcw]

sexy ass peice of metal

[ToonandBBfan]

Nice machine

[generationll]

The D9G was replaced by the D9H 35 years ago.

[blueghostheaven]

the older cabel dozers were built better than al of them like the 14a d8s were real good,

[generationll]

G is the name of the series of this crawler

[vontrop]

i used 2 of these to push scrapers and had alot of parts and alot of mechanics to put them on.

as long as you keep them running they will push hard

[MRCATWRENCH]

Definitely not this guys first day on a dozer! These old machines require an operator instead of a driver like the new ones. My hats off.

[A1972LS5MAN]

I definatly agree with you, it takes alot of skill to run these older machnes,and those who have it make it look easy!

[whodank]

HAHA I got on an old dresser spreader box (im only 20) and was like "....How the hell do i get this bastard to move!" I had to be taught how to run it! Does this D9 have pull clutch steering?

[d9operator]

He is a cat skinner.The new ones are operator friendly and I take a lot of pride in the distinction between operator and seat filler.

[ihaveairlockers]

New dozers don't have a character nor atmosphere.

The world was opened up by Caterpillar and the D9G-H etc....

The developed world, and the developing world can thank Cat for those old dozers. They are classic part of history.

[MrCatD8T]

@d9operator couldnt have said it any better!!

[bassomanvfr]

Agreed on sound - - turbo D353 in cat d9 is one of the best sounds ever

[generationll]

Jizzmonger,G is the Series of the D9

[jizzmonger]

Does the "G" stand for "Green".

He he he he

[bansao77]

This sound is mark of Caterpillar.

[mccormickchainsaw]

say what are you digging it looks like a sludge pond

[renkn]

It's a shame cat doesn't make good quality equipment like that anymore.

[carsley10]

beautiful machine!!

[catd9e]

the d9g is the best they have an awesom sound

[jimmybigbucket]

if you look hard enough there are a few D9 flat tracks around in the UK, a few pulling scraper boxes.

[sdg1970]

I'm in the UK and have never seen any flat track D9's around in recent years. The last time I saw one (a D9H as I recall) was on the back of a low-loader going up the M6 around the early 90's. Very, very rare here! D8K's are more common, but still rare..

[planenutok]

I drive on of those almost on a daily basis pushing 631 scrapers around in a shale pit, fun.

[alanhowitzer]

Is it fun to drive? Is the job fun?

[520bh530]

this brings back some memories . we bought a d9g with rippers brand new in 1965 . sold it a few years ago when my grandfather and uncles retired . I have seen it push alot of dirt . also pushed our dw21's and 631 scrappers for alot of years . it was still going strong when we sold it . I think I had a tear in my eye when it left .

[greeniron32]

Don't see many around anymore. I always loved the 66A d9G's. I love the straight stack models!

[TwentyoneB]

Poetry in Motion!  Beautiful!

[B422TMack]

All that ole D9G "Push" Cat Needs is a 627 OR 631 Cat scraper in front of it while both are rolling smoke black as coal out of the exhaust pipe ;)

[cjminokc]

Now that baby will push a wad of dirt!

[groovyUtube]

The one I operated was cable operated not hydraulic

[sdg1970]

FANTASTIC!!!! They don't build them like that anymore unfortunately...
