I have a chance to buy a HD6 dozer for scrap price, it ran about 12 to 15 yrs ago and it ran when it was parked in the shed,it has a power shift trans, and i think it was blt in the late 60s to around 70,,,,so what do you all think?????????? ps. it also has a brush guard/ cab on it, and i think its either a 8 or 10ft blade.

Track is the one part that costs IF it is shot - it's hard to find now . As a parts machine one could do better than scrap price if one took the time to dismantle it - or as a supply while you look for another machine to use the parts on. I wanted a HD6 for a while but made do with the HD5G and HD5B I had - then mater machines seems to have made the track loader less the workhorse and my backhoe and then excavator became main machines of use. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

If it's more to play with then work hard it should be a nice machine for the price, if it runs and moves. Having a trailer big enough to haul it is a plus. Can get expensive if you have to pay to move it each time.

| Unless it is junk, I'd likely take a chance on it. I owned one and it was a great little dozer. Attach a picture, please. |

| Please post a picture. I have (2) but they are a 1961 model and 1956 model. I would like to find a newer model with power steering and brakes. This one should have those features. |

| I had my HD6G on eBay with a reserve of $4500 bidding went up to $3800 so I still have it. I have another HD6G that sat for 2 years while I was rebuilding the motor. Now that the motor is running the steering clutches are frozen. If you are looking at a newer machine that has the newer steering clutches this might not be an issue. There are (3) shovel designs on HD6G's. The 3rd design starting with S/N 11094 have a double link on the dump cylinder is desirable. On the older shovels the hydraulic cylinder is in single shear. On a hard dig you can bend the cylinder rod. Been there done that. |
