i had to get the D6 9U known as THE HOOD to do a little plowing, talk about a lot of snow. first i did a little angle blading in 5 gear for about 4 miles, then i cut the road in to the EL MINE right down to the gravel which was about 1/4 of mile. i did about 8 passes to get the snow back so it wouldn't drift in again. then on the way back home i got asked to widen out about 1.5 miles of road for the diamond drillers. THE HOOD did very well whipping the snow back and performed very well for a cat that was under water fro 3 years. thansk
NICE! Great pics KOO!
thansk, woke up to -28C this morning and the heat of day it was -16C oh the joys of living in the great white north, LOL thansk
KoO Great to see the old girl out working now after following your build up of her. It looks like you will get a lot of service from the old cat. All you are missing now is about $30.00 or rustoleum and you would have everyone convinced you had bought a new one. :scool I missed your last post. You better spend the $30 on another coat instead of a coat of paint :salute
thansk, i have some more oil leaks to fix and then it will be the paint. will splash it on on a hot summer day with lots of beverage, LOL very pleased on how the old boy (all my cats are male and the sleighs are female) handled the snow. right from the factory this would have been a very good cat. i think that is why the 9Us were so popular in their day. thansk
Oh no, not another paint queen. lol I personally hate to see an old machine all painted, hides too many of it's battle scars. I prefer old iron in it's work clothes. Although, in the course of indulging in some adult beverages if some paint was thrown at it, oh well.:drinkup
yes but i never said what colour it will be, THE HOOD is the brother to the BISMARK, they were sunk together. http://kingofobsolete.ca/d6_9u_named_bismark_webpage.htm thansk
And here it was close to 70f thinking winters over. Forgetting some have long cold winters. Nice pics!!

Thanks for the pics!:salute
