Always loved the Cat rattle especially on a cold morning- sounds like they're gonna come apart but run for 50 years.

I spent many many hours on D9s, mostly the D9H, pushed many scrapers with them. The sound of this D9 is sweet.

Ahhh nothing beats the sounds of a good old turbo cat d9!👌🥰👍

I could listen to that engine all day long...

You should NEVER need starting fluid when the tractor has a starting (pony) engine! Been there, done that.

Watchig that old girl start with a pilot motor is a thing of buety and the fact that she is still a genuine cable blade is something special.

you guys should do a bunch of videos on the controls of each piece of machinery for those of us who dont know how to run them. that would be really cool!!

I love the site, sound of old heavy equipment it's always been my dream since I've been a kid to be a heavy equipment operator. Just absolutely love the sound, feel of a heavy machinery equipment running

This brings back memories. When I was seven, my grandfather had just sold his farm. Four of these things were lined up and ready to flatten the fields and fill the small pond on the property. No one was around to stop me and already having had experience driving my Grandpa's Massey Ferguson tractor while the guys loaded hay onto the wagon it was pulling, I figured I was well enough acquainted with heavy equipment to give one of these babies a go. I climbed up and poked around and got one to start right away, and off I went, playing with the steering pulls and slowly plodding across the field. Then I couldn't figure out, though, how to turn it off so I jumped off of the big platform and ran for it. Fortunately my uncle was running after it after seeing me climb up and scrambled up the back and stopped it. When I grew up I tried a lot of shit jobs for women before going into civil engineering design, and have for the past 30 years done that and believe it or not, got my OSHA certification! Let me tell you, all the good toys are gone.

I used to work in heavy equipment repair with an old timer who once worked alongside my father repairing Cats. He told me back in the 70's a Arab company came to northeastern US buying up every cable dozer they could find since it was easier to fix than learning how to fix hydraulics in the Middle East . They rolled into a site where they were doing a service call and wanted to find the machine owner to pay cash and hall the dozer off. Reminds me of how the Japanese bought up bunches of muscle cars when the economy crashed in the late 80's and no one wanted to be in the market.

My neighbor use to have an old cable blade D9 when I was a kid. I was fascinated by it. Last time is saw it was south of Scranton KS.

My all time favourite the D9G!sounds awsome listen to that turbo!!!!

Nothing like a 9'er I say. Incredible machines. I also have a 25% hearing loss from the whine and the roar.

Those big Cats have a sound of confidence. No screaming RPM's, , just a little 'bump' on the governor when it needs a brief "oomph" in power. Love it.

Dam I love your vids!! and that Ole iron!! ty!! for reminding us Ole school operators the gold of this world!!

Listen to that CAT purr and the turbo whistle almost put me to sleep. Nothing sounds better and so relaxing. They don't make them like that anymore!

love that sound!!

MERCY what a straight pipe!! Makes the heart hurt they sound so good. I suppose that's where my hearing went but it was for a good cause!!

SO you guys just have a back yard full of old cat equipment? thats sweet!!

Love to hear the turbo’s spin up and down.

TAKE THE CAN OFF!! You're driving me CRAZY!!! lol

Thats sure a nice tractor.

Just love the purr of a d9

It's amazing power. It's cool. I appreciate from Japan.

It didn't have rops when we bought it.

coolest cat you have

Not sure but I think most of the old cable machines didn't come from the factory with rops

Damn that's some old equipment. So long as the major steel isn't rusted, that'll run forever and a man can fix it himself.

Nothing like the sound of CAT engines.

My neighbor use to have a cable blade D9. Last time I saw it was south of Scranton KS

Way more fun than most people can endure

I've Often wondered the same thing. Just off the top of my with the video's I've seen, it's gotta be around 2 older three-axle scrapers, an elevating scraper, old grader, a D7, 2-3 D8s, 2-3 D9's, a 988A, a first gen 235 excavator, and a backhoe. I'm sure there are more judging my their plot. Lol, an absolute playground for us CAT fans.

Máquina muito legal,sou amante de máquinas aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷💪💪⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Awesome!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Excelente maquina siempre me ha gustado esa marca de maquina

Éste video está bien relacionado a la máquina D9G , su sonido ,puesta en marcha da gusto escucharlo.

What kind of ours are you to use starting fluid. Right out of the blackberry bushes

I wish i had one

That thing is a beast

Lovely sounded tractors when really put to work

Looks like the land of misfit toy's over there!

That exhaust whistle sounds like a GMC 6x6 !!

How cold was it here ? you use ether to start it, but i see no white smoke when it starts ??

Lovely sounded tractor when working properly

There's nothing like a old cat. Have seen old graders get pull stared and gallons of rusty water pour out of the exaust and run like they never shut off

Its alive!

r u going to take the push bade off

You use that bucket for the back pressure or whatever seeing as it has no muffler?

How many pieces of equipment do you and your dad now own?

The sound of the turbo on the 9 is sweet/

Keep them working a little they. Last forever love the past it was the good olds

that was a cool push start

How do you keep up with where all the equipment is? Seems like i would forget.

Lo mejor.....el sonido del turbo....!!!!

Grouser bars look great.

Just curious, whats the current inventory? Do you guys still have the old Beemsterboer Cat?

The world can thank Rudolph diesel for creating these awesome engines 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Are you using the brake for the right side?

how big is the muffler on the cat

Worked on the D8s and did a bit of driving one back in the 80s saw a D9 two volvos a20s full of top soil all 3 chained to gether mud so deep the volvos cood not move gas pipe line . The D9 walked out touing the two volvos . Good old cat power love um 😆.hi from ireland😉.

Le tourneau was the first scraper built

i like it

Are these TCT Transport Company of Texas something like that in South Texas 'grave yard' ? Large one was in Mexico. Used World wide and brought home.

they haven't always been standard little own an option

Old Girl has a Sweet Sound...

I believe it was called a Pony Engine.

1:05 So THIS is where they got the audio for the movie XD

Doesn't have a muffler.

Let the starting engine warm her up a bit--no need for ether. Roll her with compression off till she picks up oil pressure, then kick compression on , no throttle. After 4-5 minutes or less she'll go when you crack the throttle.

con you do a vid on how to operate that dozer

Don't ya think you should remove the bucket from the exhaust before you start it ? Daah.

Whats the Specs on that cat scraper i like it.

...you guys have a motorhead theme park going there...

D9 g aint blade roped in hydraulic

Buenos los vídeos muy bonitos👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀

How does the throttle differ from the decelerator? Do you just set the max RPM with the throttle and use the decel to slow the motor?

The not so good ole day's. Today's younger operators haven't a clue as to how good they have it on modern equipment!.....

Still got nice pads

Is the D9G for sale?

leave the diesel governor control shutoff till the engine is warm enough to start. Using starting fluid on these old beauties makes the operators instantly amateurs.

essa turbina piando, muito top.

Por esos años Cat hacia maquinas para trabajar. Hoy dia para pasar trabajo

Caterpillar é caterpillar. 100%

I operated a D9 as well as a DJB end dump. I think DJB sold to Cat in the 90's.

A little bite of either,

Easy start In a can" The worst thing to Knock the Bottom end out,.

I ran the D9G with both a conventional straight dozer and a push dozer, like this D9G has for pushing scrapers.

Nice.

Sound 🤩😋🥰

Que hermosa máquina para desmontarar los monte en santiago

Olha o pé no freio

Имел честь на таком поработать.
