Well take it down to the frame and rebuild everything to spec from the ground up. $100k should be a good start and still cheaper than a new dozer. :-) I have seen little cats restored but never a D9. The time has come!
With Ya Bloc.
Exactly!!
Parts are bigger, taller, heavier and are way more spendy but they can move much more dirt. Also if you fall off you are usually higher off the ground so it hurts more .... Jeff ! There are a lot more heavy parts so there are a lot more finger pinchers n shin scrapers.
Dang ... Jeff is good with this old stuff .... it's all the little things that you learn over the years that can save your butt when buying that older equipment. He will make back anything he puts into D9H within two years and have a D9Honey of a rig.
Paint it with Black strips n Cat yellow n call it HoneyBee!
I’m old and retired but I miss operating heavy equipment it was a big part of my life starting in Vietnam. Always wanted to run a CAT D9, but never got anything bigger than a CAT D7E or a IH TD18. You are a lucky man. God Bless and be safe!❤️🙏🇺🇸
Thank you for your service to the USA!
Never thought I’d miss running heavy equipment... but Jeff and the whole “A” team makes it look so easy. 😂😂😂😳
See what I did there? 😳
Don't feel too bad, I run 10s and 11s everyday or night depending on the shift. Sometime they're over kill for the project. I miss the 8s and 9s but really miss the 6 with the wide tracks, those were pure joy. Not too many can say they've run thee old IHs, that's unique in itself. Still loves my old 30s and 40s cable machine the best. Thanks for your service!
You must have been a SeaBee. My father did the same in Vietnam.
@@msb3175Seebees, great bunch there. One of my dad's older brothers built runways in Korea, and one of my Moms younger brothers ran dozer during his time in Vietnam. Some wild stories out there, tons of respect for them.
A pine tree air freshener and a floorboard and she's good to go... Actually not bad for age and nobody will fix it better... We get to enjoy the process...
Put some calender girls on the left side
Looks like a great winter project. Thank you for showing what’s involved.
Always loved the sound starting from cold of the D353 , each firing in the cylinders until it burns clean, then the turbo winding up to a gentle whistle 😜👍🏻
Hi Jeff!!! Im so happy to see you with a new beauty!!! Im exited to see all the chapters of working on this lady!!! Keep on and congratulations!!! Waiting for more!!!
Great job on the content. I’ve picked up a couple things here and the from you that helped me. I run a 9h myself and I’ll tell you even though I’m a younger guy she still never lets me down and always surprises me with how much she can move plus how much fun cold starts are with these older dozers.
All good things take time and you'll have her fixed up to Jpaydirt standards.Be some good videos of this project.
It's Christmas morning at the Anderson Compound! Love the G's and H's!!
Christmass in Sep. at the Paydirt Orissa.
Good afternoon Jeff, thank you for the video! and a little project to keep you out of mischief.
Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧. Looks a tidy tractor.
Man I gotta say it found the right owner as it seems like you know yer way around these machines JPD! Congrats! Love your content n as a carpenter that still dreams of a gyppo dirt spread you are great to watch!
That's awesome Jeff, when its cleaned an tlc is done, she will be a beauty
Ohhhh, I'm so looking forward to the refresh process on this beast ! More awesome JPD content !
She is a beast Jeff! Just amazing how time and wear has rounded off the edges of those front blade cylinders.
So a bit of tinkering and a spit shine needed bro, looks a good addition to the crew. Safe travels up your way
Awesome. Excited to see it get back to working shape. Little sad that old Kenny probably just got bumped again.
She's beautiful. Had my paws on an 8k before but never a 9. Good for you!
The H has been adopted by a carring man that will give it the love that it needs. A year from now she will be purring like new and loving every minute of work given to her.
Good to see the H has made it home.
Congratulation Jeff on a new baby.
They would last longer than Komatsu
Big moma
The '78 140G I run has a Red Dot on it, cold air but definitely needs a ductwork system.
well..stock up on AeroKroil and WD..and look forward to seeing you work on this Ol' warrior..
Nice machine Jeff. Sprocket segments look like they need replacement. I ran a D10 back in 19... they assembled it on site. At the time it was the largest Cat made. Thanks and keep the videos coming on the progress.
Looks like a winter project Jeff. Can’t wait to see the progress
Going to love the upcoming D9H rebuilding videos from Jeff. 109000 lbs of work at 500 lbs a Video (give or take + - a few 1000 lbs)
Nice addition to the fleet jeff👍👍
Hopefully it will be a good dozer once you get it fixed up to your liking thanks for sharing buddy
I’m excited to see this dozer get fixed up and put to work Jeff. I miss seeing you working on the equipment as much but I’m sure your wallet appreciates not having major repairs as much lol
Looks like a heap of work Jeff, but you're the the man for the job. I look forward to following the rebirth of the D9H.
Tough isn't a big enough word
High silica in oil, ejector tube off air cleaner into vertical exhaust pipe breaks off. Have put in new set of liners and piston. Had D7F break tube off, needed new set of liners and piston.
Oh boy, Winter Work!! Nothing like new Chrome on your shaft!! LOL
G'day Jeff,,,
Nice peice of kit by the sounds /looks of it .
Once she gets the PAYDIRT TLC im sure it will soon be back to a great reliable unit again .
Im really looking forward to this one , the restoration will make some great content too,,
Dose this mean the faithfull will get a few more vids Jeff ,,,???
If so ,,they'd sure go down a treat whilst in lockdown ,,
here in OZ .
Bring it Jeff...!
Respect
from
Down Under
Damn Jeff you got almost as many projects going on as I do. Car, shop expansion, old Kenny. But mine are not even close to being as big ones as yours. I'm talking changing spark plugs, oil, fixing small roof leak and I have to pace myself at that. Lol
Looking forward to seeing you fix her up!
If it has bad cylinder rods , get them re - chromed maybe.
I use to run a old TD 15 IHC that has bad cylinder rods , leaked some when using not to bad , no chrome left on rods and would rust when parked not being used , so I would coat with grease and then clean off and polish with emery cloth before running it the next time , some times it would set mouths between jobs.
These are going to be some awesome videos!
the tracks are the best thing on it, good buy right there, just start working it !
Looks like you already have your winter projects planned out.
despite its issue it looks like it will be a good machine for you. I think ill stick to my little 1/2 yard cable front shovels. Parts are a little smaller
Kerching Kerching but I suppose you are ready for that Jeff. It will be tidy when you are finished and very handy but it looks straight enough now. The track gear certainly looks good and I don’t know anything about dozers. The motor started up well which is a good sign, amazing how it has enough power to lift the blade idling without pulling it down at all. Jeff.
That looks like it is going to be a big proect. Excellent video Jeff.
Sold mine in 2012............loved that dozer !
Wow Jeff, I thought my 1942 GPW Jeep project was big! If it wasn't for the covid and Dan locking us up here in Victoria I would come over and help with the tear down..good undercarriage though!
Your roads are in good shape , we have such hard winters it really does a lot of damage.
Your My Boy Jeff.Love Ya.Can't Wait For Follow-Up Vids.
Congratulations Mr Paydirt well earned
Good morning Jeff. Nice got old new toy! If anyone maker right you will… it’s only money!!!! 😂😂😂 good luck and actually hope fixes up well,…with out costing as much as it’s worth!
Just for a fleeting moment I thought Mr Dratchev was hauling,then remembered he's taking a 40yr old to Alberta!!Can't beat yellow iron,lasts for ever!👍🇬🇧
He can't pick up in the US and deliver in it Only out of Canada and back
Sarge is One Of My Boys Also.Hard Workers.
I was gonna say the undercarrage is in damn good shape, all in all I think your ahead of the game. Damn nice tractor.
This is the dozer I learned on in early 80s . my dad had a small business building lakes for farmers . think I was 14.
Chrome straight pipe! I don't know the difference in engines but the D8h sounded good with a straight.
Polish the rods, hose job cuz the rubber came off, a bunch of gallons of cat yeller and she'll be purrin to the filthy who're number 2 or whatever fleet value 'that one' has 😉. Be cool to watch the transformation because I've never been around a rebuild/resto project, always enjoy learning about equipment and the parts of it you can't see from the ground
you got your work cut out for you great older puddy cat i cant wait to see it after you fix it all back up to par good find good job Jeff that is why you make the big bucks to fix up you will have one hell of a dozer when you get done giving the old gal the Jeffery touch REALLY COOL JEFF GOOD COMPANY GREAT CHANNEL BEST ON THE NET
It's gonna be SO MUCH FUN following the progress on this li'l bee-uty!
That model also has the braking built into the steering clutch handles makes the operation easier, don't have to use your feet to steer good upgrade
You know, I don't care for that. I pull the clutch levers part way and use the foot brakes 95% of the time.
Push cat guys didn't want so much exercise
They tested that engineering marvel
Hello Jeff. The cat looks a straight old girl. Good undercarriage a bit of titivation and she will do a job. We are on with a early D4 and we are struggling to get parts. We will probably have to get some from the USA. We also have a D6R high drive to replace the undercarriage. Track chains repined and bussed. To save a bit of money. New sprocket segments. Recon idullers and trackfraim repairs.
Nice machine cannot wait to see you make it perfect
Thanks for video, I was excited for you
Such a beautiful machine love it hope to see more of her
Classic old school Alaskan gold mining cat. I ran 1 for Don May at polar mining in Fairbanks before the 10 N came along. Trapper scotty, get your rip on!
Maimdozer. Time to Switchblade Turbo Upgrade, T minus 32 days and counnnntiing… 😁 Great new toy, Jeff; looking forward to seeing her brought back to her former glory 😎
Good old machine , used to operate one similar in Uk many years ago , nice with straight pipe not mufferler
She is a beaut, Clark!😮
Looks like new rails and grousers....then I look at the sprocket teeth which are way past worn out! That tears up the new rails..
Engines were tough in these, but the transmissions/torque/pumps not so trouble free. Spent several thousand hours on D9 G and H models. Keep that muffler. Fairly quiet and you really don't lose vision anywhere it matters.
Congratulations on your new D9. So is it in better or worse condition then you thought? Do the G and the H share a lot of the same part's?
looking forward to watching the repairs
Whole new video series! Mega Killdozer
Good buy, good luck.
Looking good Jeff sounds good to 👍
looking forward to this project.
I love the old CAT equipment!
Looking forward to watching the entire Playlist for the rebuild.
Is there a video that tells how you came to buy this dozer? Were you searching for one and found it, or you stumbled onto it? What was the decision process for buying it? I'm assuming you bought it sight unseen. Where was it located and how much did it cost to have it transported? Do you know any history of the machine?
Thanks Jeff.
Regards
The brakes may just need adjustment. A friend of mine may have a spare cab with the parts you need. Not a bad D9H. I do have a piston for a track tightener. I use a hydraulic hose for a fuel line.
stay tuned ty it doesn't look good
That's a good looking straight ol' D9H. I bet she's pushed a buncha big scrapers in her day...may be where the bent blade top came from. Great looking undercarriage too. Can't wait to see you fix her up.
Nice looking dozer love it you still got the other one
After doing battle with Mother Earth for the last 40 years we were amazed that it still has what it has. There is a reason that the Mag Screen was loaded up with shavings and your about find out exactly where all that peach fuzz was coming from... Just like Momma' Said,, "Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it"....
D9Hot dang new toy....
Aww shit looks its been road wet and put away hard ... a few times.
now you D9Have to make it yours .... I have faith that Jeff, Jake n Matt will win this too.
I have found a few d9s in tailing piles mining in alaska.:(
Might be less expensive to buy a big lathe for the shop to re rod all those cylinders since you already have welders. Even if you put the lathe in a van trailer or container to keep the lathe work grime out of the shop. If it's a former insulated container or trailer it might be better. Only thing would be isolated landing gear and a second set but the icc bars to allow the trailer to be leveled easily.
Yep, stock bar is expensive, but a lot cheaper if you have the time. Hardest part is the thread on the piston end.
@@teamidris video detailing how to do it properly ... on a D10 cylinder.. czcams.com/video/Q-_Gy_JDrHQ/video.html
damn bro. This is going to take some time to get back running good. You didn't mention the drive sprockets are worn down to the nub too. I don't know where this is being used, but another thing to keep in mind is that every scratch turned to rust. I wouldn't just wax this thing over, I would wirebrush and paint. the rust is everywhere. the track adjuster and arms are just rusted over pretty bad. if you want to keep this running, you'll want to get rid of that
I think its called a 'Challenge', but I'm sure you are more than up to it.
Ho ho ho. A new-to-you no-donkey dozer. Congrats.
Are you planning to install a switchback turbo on this one? Have you named her yet?
I'm looking forward to videos of the repairs.
Pacific Northwest Hillbilly has a video of Cat parts in Oregon you might want to check out.
He does not have anything that big, mostly older stuff, Cat d2,4,6,
Now you got to buy a trailer to move it!!!
I have one
Cant wait to see the rebuild :-)
Best looking dozer still today.
A little degreaser, quick paint spray, and a few decals, “just overhauled” ready for work!
Just kidding! You do it right Jeff. Sounds like you got it for the right price, that’s a good thing.
That’s called a Ritchie Rebuild!
Do you the new switchblade turbo already on the way?
The permits must have been crazy with not only the weight but the width of the blade!
Truckers must have side eyes
There's one been parked in the same spot for 2 years, in Hawthorne NV. Should I stop and check on availability?
What year is it , grouser bars look good. Why did you get rid of the old D9?
Awesome I have one
Hey Jeff will you be putting a switchblade on Petey it would be neat to see how the truck performed with one
Good lookin old tractor.
Man, that thing is HUGE !!
Love it, she's beautiful!
Right man for the job.
Will the new Dozer jump to the front of the line in front of your car or old Kenny?
the 9h for it's age doesn't look all that bad. i spent some time in 3 different ones back in the late 70's into the mid 80's. i didn't care for them as i thought they lacked the power compared to the 9g models i had ran before.
our running boards got bent like that, from guys side cutting too deep-and rocks falling on the tracks, then they got caught underneath there. some fellas had to use a chain and front end loader to pull the rock back out. i was taught not to side cut any deeper than the height of ur blade for that reason, but sometimes u just have to risk it.
hoping for a series on fixing the ole girl up coming up, brings back a lot of meories for me, not go buy a 31, 41A and B model, a D-10n--D-11n & R model's--that will round out the large dozers i got to run in my lifetime-ha!!
Looks like this old girl has found her “Forever Home”. I think this unit has been flogged for a number of years. Then the usual maintenance list gets so long that the owner just says “Aw, screw it” and here we are. I guess the temptation is to load all the cylinders up and take ‘em to a shop. It’s not like there’s nothing else to do on this thing. I still like it. Like you said, the undercarriage makes it worth it. Severe duty grousers too!
Nice one Jeff. Are you going to fix her up or do a renovation ?
