thank you for the 769 video !

Used to drive one of these in 1976 at local Tarmac quarry here in Yorkshire uk, was a good truck but when it rained , water came in around the Windows and caused the windscreen to most up, was a pain in the butt to keep wiping it to see where I was going , but had to do it with wife & 2 kids to feed at 23 years old.😁😁

Drove a 75 Kenworth 900 it had a 1693 Cat with a 21 speed road-ranger box, top end was about 115 mph my Dad had it and as soon I got my chauffeur's license we hauled cattle Fla. to Tx. Dalhart .

Driving one of those trucks was my first road destruction jobs. Used to fall asleep going so slow up the haul road then wide awake back down.

This was a great massive truck in its day. The first time I drove one was like driving a childhood sandbox dream, but the dream turn into drudgery after few hundred hours.

I’ve drove a couple of these back in the day, We called it the Cat wagon 👍🏻

1693 ...dozer motor !!! Done a lot of tire work on those from the 769 up to the triple 7's

Pop great wheelstands when coming up a hill 45 degrees onto a ramp. Good clean fun

Ran a 769c the temperature one morning was below 0 it was the only thing that started on its own

That's a beast of a machine. Actually looks fun to drive around lol. Big kids toy. Be fun to drive around out in the wilderness probably. Enjoyed the quickie video

Never got hold of one of them but made up for it in an R-22 and R-35 12-V 71 and 6-speed Allison bang shift green lizard Euc and the 40 ton Terex with a Cummins and then the Rolls Cat trucks. Old Cats run forever. Thanks!

My. Papaw work for nc caterpillar out of Asheville nc what a great sounding truck

Great old equipment!

I've hauled a cpl of those in my day. I think I even hauled that one up there! 😁

Old swirl chamber motor. Same engine in the front of a Cat 637 twin engine scraper

Super cool.

those cat 769s classic 40 ton rigid dump trucks

D343

Oh look. It's a Tonka toy for the big boy s. Lol

How much will one of those go for at auction?

There are two problems with this video, one the camera work, a wide shot showing the hole truck just how large it is. Close-up of components that fill hole picture frame. The second is ground that this truck is parked on, it's covered in fluid. Miner Safety Health Administration & OSHA would tear this truck apart because of the puddle fluid it is parked over.

I am a cat man my sellf
