No idea on your location but Diesel Creek on YouTube and his buddies would be drooling over that thing! Don’t scrap it, it’s got value to somebody out there. At least if it is like the old Cat's in our neighborhood. Advertise in the Rusty Rails and other vintage dozer groups on FaceBook.Īnywhere close to Ohio? Might be interested. Undercarriage condition and steering mechanisms will be wildcards.ĭon’t scrap, plenty of folks will pay you better than scrap.

I presume pony start.It wouldnt surprise me if you could get that going an use it.Presuming its not froze up.The pony motor would be the problem.Those old cat motors are as tough as nails.Doubt if you could wear one out.Id sell it as is. It’s joining my excavator tomorrow for rock piles I’d say it’s around 1957. This one just pushed out a half mile of trees this week. If it’s in good shape I see them from 5k to 15k.

Unless it was bought new and just stayed on the farm I suspect one should add another 0 to the tach.They have some value if they are operable, young guys who have run late model dozers won't want to touch them.Highest value if notn operable may be as a parts machine His grandpa used it to tear out fence rows and cleared roads after the blizzard of 78. But he was pretty confident that its was around that hour mark. Only 2000 hrs ? I’d say it needs to go to the Cat museum in Peoria. Any one have any ideas how to get rid of it. It has around 2000 hours he thinks and used to always start right up. What is the best place to advertise it or do you just scrap it. It weighs somewhere north of 20 ton he thinks. So my buddy has a 1950s D7 dozer that has sat around for probably 25 years.
