Tractors like these while much older, and not nearly as comfortable to operate as anything much newer, perform well and would be desirable for a myriad of uses on a farm or land needing work. You could pry on the sprocket with a bar see if its loose, run a magnet in the final drive compartment, look for metal fines. I helped the head mechanic at one place take one down to the bevel gear compartment, repairs like that and to the finals are definitely some work, so you want to know the condition of any of these as best can be done.

Spent quite a few hours on D6D's, at various times when I was a full time operator, they lived up to their reputation for sure.

They were popular and a lot of them were built in each series, some of the highest production numbers of tractors caterpillar produced, 45,000-50,000 tractors on some production runs, roughly or close, going from memory from what I have read.

The entire D6 series was well regarded from the 8U/9U series up to the later D series, as mentioned below. I really do like operating dozers, and the D6C is a good one

The Operator's Manual for that model should have some tips on land clearing operation - better yet, if you and your friend don't have a lot of land clearing experience, get with someone local that has been in the business a long time and learn from them.Дў) Check the final drives for oil seepage/leakage and proper bearing adjustment - please see Service manual.ДЄlso, Scheduled Oil Sampling (SOS) can help diagnose problems before they get real bad.ДЈ) I don't think the D6C is a pinned equalizer bar to the roller frames (D7G and up if I remember correctly, thus, the frames can be deflected away or into the mainframe in stumps/rough ground/side hills/clearing debris causing roller frame cracking or final drive issues due to twisting - check roller frames alignment to mainframe and each other, check for cracks and repair, be careful on stumps and side-hill operation in stumps/big limbs, etc.Д¤) The D6C has separate clutches and brakes - clutches on the levers, brakes on the pedals.ДЄnd, the dozer Lift is on the lever and the Tilt is a pedal arrangement -may be different than the machines you've run previously, and some acclimation may be needed before you can also 'Chew Gum' while operating this tractor :-) Is this model a good dozer?ДЄre there any typical problems with this model?ДЄny info would be appreciated, especially what NOT to do.Д¬ongrats -the D6C was one of the best dozers CAT ever made.ДЄs said by NCWayne and others, the 3306 is tough, especially at the 140hp (original D6Cs were 120hp)rating, and if maintained should run to 7-10,000hrs easily.ДЄnd, it has the big bronze disc transmission which is very smooth and dependable.ДЎ) Land clearing is one of the harshest environments for a dozer - banging, jerking, on the frame and final drives, uneven ground and stumps to twist the tracks and roller frames, lot of debris to plug the radiator and cause overheating or even fires in the belly guard, jillpokes to spear an operator and cause terrible injury.Д«E CAREFUL, check over the machine at start of each shift thoroughly, and run it smoothly - you don't have to 'baby' it, but slamming and jerking against stumps is sure to break something, real expensive. So there's gonna be a learning curve with this older machine. I only have maybe 400 hours time operating dozers, new dozers from small to fairly large (1450 Case). The best part is, I'm going to use it on his property for 40-50 hours before I decide if I want it. I'll probably wind up with this dozer, only because he's going to make it too hard to turn down. There's a root rake, a V blade (shear), and the standard blade in on it now. The machine has a completely new undercarriage and very little usage. It's been too wet, or he's been too busy. He hasn't used it 50 hours since he got it.

It belongs to a long time friend that purchased it 4 years ago to clean up some property.
