Does any one out there no of any scrap yards "used parts house" for construction eq? I'm looking for a drawbar for a D9G.
If you have the part number go to machinerytrader.com parts section. put in the part number and those having the part will come up for you
Try looking at tractorparts.com (General Gear & Machine), Boise, Idaho 208 342 8911. They have a few old D9G's listed for parts.
Go to headequipment.com. Ask for Larry or James.
I believe that I know where there is just such a drawbar. It is over at my family's farm and belongs to my uncle. Let me know if you would like me to check it out.
2nd Steel in Denver Colorado also works with used Cat parts-Most Caterpillar Dealers have their own used parts divisions, Ziegler has one I would imagine.
construction equipment parts in south carolina. We use them alot and have had a lot of luck.
I need a drawbar also and was considering a large diameter bolt and nut. is there any reason this will not work?
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to everyone. I've been gone and was a little surprised to see all of the help. Tomorrow I'll start calling some of them. "Winch cat" could you send a picture of your uncles draw bar to the e-mail address or here if you know how to do it. I need the entire hitch not just the pin as John Deere does. There is a push block on it now so that has to come off. Does any one have any idea what a push block weighs?
Rich, Did you recieve the e-mail that I sent to you about the drawbar? I will take some pictures and send them to you shortly. I do not know what the push block weighs, but from what I recall of the push block that was on his D9G, it looked "heavy". Very heavy.
