    What was the oil pressure on a CAT D6 9U back in 1956

    The oil pressure gauge in my CAT D6 9U dozer died (it was made in 1956). The original gauge did not specify psi, but just had an operating range. I have the original manuals, and they just state to keep oil pressure in the operating range. Any new gauge will be in psi, so do any of you know...

    Can I use a Jet Star 3 starter on the original Jet Star?

    I like the idea of swapping the nose cone. Did Dana use the same motor housing on the 3-bolt starters as the 1-bolt?

    Can I use a Jet Star 3 starter on the original Jet Star?

    So next question, are there 1-bolt starters with solenoid actuation?

    Can I use a Jet Star 3 starter on the original Jet Star?

    Yes, I just removed the old starter with one bolt, and looked at the image of the Jet 3 starter with three bolts. How could I have missed that? thank you, thank you!

    Can I use a Jet Star 3 starter on the original Jet Star?

    The starter on my Jet Star is fried. It seems that the Jet Star 3 starter was upgraded with solenoid actuation rather than manual, and is easier to find. Is a new ignition switch or push-button all I need for the upgrade?

    Will lower arms from a Jet Star fit a 445?

    I have an opportunity to purchase a 445 missing the lower arms for the 3-point hitch. I have an extra set from a Jet Star. Will my Jet Star arms fit?

    TD9 for my first crawler

    Regarding older or newer, the CAT D4H is nearly 100 hp, and the TD9 is nearly 50 hp, so I would expect the TD9 to only push half the dirt of the CAT. Also the TD9 blade is adjusted with a hammer and wedges rather than hydraulics. Am I missing anything else?

    TD9 for my first crawler

    Is the adjustment at the top of the image the correct one ?

    TD9 for my first crawler

    I guess I should also plead guilty of loving old iron. Every lathe and mill in my shop is over 80 years old and my planer was built in 1854. My weekend cars are also over 80 years old and are Flathead V8s. So I was intrigued by the TD engine which starts on gas and switches to Diesel when...

    TD9 for my first crawler

    I understand! I am a 69 year old guy who has been around everything except dozers forever, so I am terrified of finals and drive-train components which I cannot replace with my current jacks, lifts, and tools, but I have no fear of thrown rods, carbs, mags, etc. I have found several...

    TD9 for my first crawler

    I am looking at an early International TD9 for light road construction on my farm. It will be my first crawler. I have checked for easy starting, no smoke or leaks when operating, driving in all gears, turning both left and right, operation of hydraulics. What else should I check before purchase?

    GV-I Hydraulic pressure and volume

    That pump powers my front-end loader, and does a good job.

    GV-I Hydraulic pressure and volume

    My Jet Star has the optional 2nd pump on the PTO. Is this the same as your 335 Industrial?

    GV-I Hydraulic pressure and volume

    I design and build audio amps for myself, guitar amps for my son, but the cool project at the moment is a vacuum-tube analog-computer for fuel-injection on a flathead Ford V8 on one of my hot-rods. I am using tubes which were available in the 40s, so the hot-roders of the time could have done it...

    GV-I Hydraulic pressure and volume

    OK, the Wheatland tractors were also long wheel-base and needed 10 acres to turn, so I guess this is the wrong platform for my back-hoe. I have a Jet Star, but it is a bit too small for the back-hoe, so perhaps a M5?
