    D333 turbo retrofit?

    Ok... here I am thinkin to much again. So my '60 D6B (44A) has what I understand to be the D333(a) engine which is the non-turbo version. Currently it runs great and I haven't really had any issues in pushing trees over and stacking up brush thus far. I understand however that the D333(b)...

    60 CAT D6B steering issues

    I never object to critical thinking. Thank you D5Dan for expressing it. It is quite possible that that may be my issue on the left hand side. Even tho I hadn't had a need to remove that adjustment bolt it's quite possible it was never adjusted correctly to begin with. As the weather begins...

    Huber Warco

    Greetings, Not sure if you hang around these parts still however I stumbled on your request above doing a search on the web for a 9DG. I am looking to purchase one and it's serial number is literally 187 units before yours. Did you have any luck finding info on yours and the year? Also...

    60 CAT D6B steering issues

    Would be desirable to have that procedure. Yes regarding the drain plugs... I can't see running the dozer without the bolts in place. Even tho the project I am working on which will go on for at least 18 months is quite dry I have seen how open threaded holes become unusable over time. I...

    Compatibility with Cat D6b

    Howdy D5Dan, I had an impression there were a lot of similarities between the D5 and my D6B. It was my understanding that at the end of the life of the D6B Cat made it a D5 which is why I believed there may be a lot in common. Curious if the physical specs of the sprockets are the same. I'd...

    60 CAT D6B steering issues

    D5Dan, I pulled the bottom brake adjust bolt to perform the initial drain and then adjusted it as I put it back in. Really happy how the right side adjusted and cleaned up after the draining. As I stated... turning on a dime to the right now. Have attempted the same thing on the left but...

    60 CAT D6B steering issues

    Greetings all, I have overcome my right steering issues with the D6B which might turn out to be a love/hate thing. Pulled the access covers off the back and top of the differential case and found about 3" of what I could only characterize as gear oil in the bottom of the cavity partially...

    60 CAT D6B steering issues

    Hey guys, Thanks a bunch for the information. I do have an Operation and Maintenance manual (Form 33514-2), a D333 Engine operation and maintenance manual (Form 33511) and a service manual now. My page numbers don't quite match up. Trying to retrieve the manual from the link you provide...

    Compatibility with Cat D6b

    Yeah... my battery case covers are missing too. Fortunately I have a well equipped prototyping shop and can make new ones that are locking which I intend to do so soon. Don't want my new batteries to come up MIA. Figure I may be doing the seam for my rail covers however I'm unsure of what...

    60 CAT D6B steering issues

    Ok.... we are off to the races. My recently (last Thursday) acquired D6b CAT has revealed it's first cause for concern post purchase. Shame on me for not seeing this before the purchase however it is what it is and I will deal with it. Generally speaking, the dozer is in great shape and I...

    A Cat D6b... my newly acquired step child.... Age? 44A1053

    Hydraulic. 11/5' blade. Am starting my first 75 to 80 home development on 25 acres. About 8 acres is heavily vegetated with 4" to 12" trees and underbrush. Topical engineers are involved right now and wish to have line of site for their laser telemetry.... go figure. :)

    Compatibility with Cat D6b

    Greetings all, As I begin my quest to prolong the life of my new '60 Cat D6b I find myself in search of parts, both new and used, that I can acquire to achieve that goal. From what I have been able to garner it appears that in the searching of parts, identifying interchangeable items between...

    A Cat D6b... my newly acquired step child.... Age? 44A1053

    Thanks OM. I've seen your moniker as I have researched and read other posts on here. Figured it was just a matter of time I would hear from you and am humbled. I have lot's to post here as I continue to broaden my relationship with my D6b and hope that you have plenty to offer.

    A Cat D6b... my newly acquired step child.... Age? 44A1053

    Greetings, As of this last Thursday I am the proud owner of a Cat D6b baby boy. Had it hauled to it's new home and am now learning what I have committed to. Through my previous research I have narrowed it's DOB to 1960 but would like to confirm that as I have no actual confirmation as of yet. I...

    Need part for Clark C500 30 forklift

    Greetings, Does anyone know where I might find a 'dust cover', the plastic plate which sits between the distributor and the distributor cap on a Y112 continental engine? This is the engine installed in a Clark C500-30 forklift. The 'dust cover' has crumbled due to age I'm sure and I can...
