Caption: Some more of Georgiou’s equipment, including this 639D parked up in their yard. The other scraper to the right is a 637D. The machine displays a lot of extra handrails, an extended rear air cleaner pipe and cab roof air conditioner. Photo: The English Earthmover.⁣

Caption: This tired looking old girl is awaiting rebuild in the USA. Unlike a lot of other tractors, rebuild for the larger Cat dozers was a very viable proposition as the machines could be rebuilt several times quite economically.⁣

Caption: Thomas Contracting Services is located in Western Australia and specialize in housing subdivision development work. It owns quite a fleet of Caterpillar machinery, including this extremely well looked after Caterpillar 639D. This 639D is fully optioned and has had the rear air cleaner stack raised to help prevent unnecessary dust ingestion by the rear engine. Photo: Internet.⁣

Caption:  Baker Construction’s D10 ripping rock in the McKenzie basin, 1979.⁣
With the introduction of the D10, material that used to have to be blasted could be economically ripped. The multi shank ripper had a seismic velocity of some 12,000 fps at the tip in sedimentary rock.⁣

⁣
Caption:  Another ‘single stacker’ D10 hard at work dozing shot rock. The D10 had a ‘soft’ cab but with an incredibly sturdy ROPS frame over the top of it as can be seen. Lack of a carrier roller is noteworthy as Cat didn’t consider one necessary. This thinking was to change with later versions of the machine.⁣
