No cab on the 9, wouldn't be allowed to move it nowadays. Great pics bring back a lot of good memories.

Plenty of beer and other alcohol.
We rarely broke anything, we used to bounce
The cabs in the late 60s were no more than angle iron and glass.
ROPS were only just being developed over here.
Cats had a choice of a couple of suppliers, Leverton's own and Tractorvision, generally on Bowmaker-supplied machines.

If your Final Drives, Transmissions or engines calve down and you need any help dont be slow to ask me for a hand, tomorrow I am working on a Fockersberger winch outfit its fitted with a 70'000 kgs winch on a single line, the cable is Die-Formed 44mm and the blade/anchor at the back is some lump of iron, its all mounted on a Morooka rubber tracked dumper style unit with a 14 ltr Cummins poking out the beans, the winch is powered via Rexroth V.P. pumps, the rated line pull is on a near full drum, it has a return block to put things on 2 falls/lines and make things a bit more civilized with the 140'000kgs worth of tug comming through, oh and just thought I would say I have just about every service tool needed on cat dozers that you are polishing up.
