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 have not yet been able to actually determine it's weight either. In hind site I should have had the diesel stork (low boy hauler) stop by the scales before delivering it.
I am not new to the world of big toys.... cut my teeth many moons ago on a JD 2010 crawler with clam shell bucket and backhoe. I currently own numerous pieces of industrial equipment to include a JD350b crawler, 2 Case CK580's, 5 fork lifts, Single axle dump truck, 2 industrial man lifts, and a partridge in a pear tree... I think that's how it goes. I have also assembled a 16,000 sq ft prototyping shop which affords me to repair, overhaul, and build anything my little pea brain has a hankerin to. All this is to say that the D6b has a new home that will serve it well.
I will be speaking to it's quirks and needs here in the coming month as it was purchased to be instrumental in another new endeavor.... building a subdivision from scratch. For anyone that can confirm my suspicions regarding it's birth date I thank you in advance.
