The term Direct Drive really only came about after the Power Shift Torque converter models were introduced.
A Direct Drive is just a "normal" style drive train with a clutch lever and a gear stick, like a car.
Direct drive's were made from the beginning, and all models came in them from D2 to D9.
In the late sixties, power shift came in. That means a torque converter and a gear stick that can be quickly shifted from forward to reverse while moving. ( it's easy ) No clutch.

Ah i see, it has nothing to do with the position of the drive sprocket, but about if a torque converter is fitted or not.
Up to which machine size did they sell them with direct drive ?
Yeah a descriptive video, i'd love to see that ! In Holland you hardly see any bulldozers, most of those jobs are done with wheel loaders or tractor drawn graders.
Why do you mention its direct drive ? Did Cat sell high drive and direct drive at the same time, or can you read the age from the drive style ?

The drect drive means that it has a standard clutch. Not an automatic or power shift. This dozer has a hand clutch. It has 5 speeds foreward and reverse. I will make a descriptive video for you if you want.
