D9T Track-Type Tractor Strength from the past. Power for the future. TM The D9T combines power and efficiency with advanced technology for outstanding production at a lower cost-per-yard. C18 Engine with ACERT ® Technology ACERT Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance and provide low exhaust emissions. Matched with the torque converter and power shift transmission, it provides years of dependable and efficient service. [. . . ] A single lever, dual-control tiller controls machine speed, direction, and steering. The tiller allows the operator to work precisely in close areas, around structures, grade stakes, other machines and during fine grading. 8 Drive Train The drive train provides maximum efficiency in combination with the C18 engine with ACERT Technology. · · · A dedicated variable-displacement hydraulic pump. Three speeds forward and three speeds reverse, utilizing large diameter, high capacity, oil-cooled clutches. · · Modulation system permits fast speed and direction changes. Modular transmission and differential slide into rear case for servicing ease, even with ripper installed. Forced oil flow lubricates and cools clutch packs to provide maximum clutch life. Isolated from ground and equipment induced impact loads for extended power train life. · Crown-shaved drive gears provide smooth, quiet, low maintenance operation. Splash lubrication and Duo-Cone Seals extend service life. ® · · · · 9 Undercarriage The Caterpillar elevated sprocket undercarriage is designed for optimized machine balance and best possible performance and component life. Rollers and Idlers. Feature symmetric Duo-Cone seals for long sealing life to prevent oil loss and dirt entry. Roller frames are tubular to resist bending and twisting, with added reinforcement where operating loads are highest. · · · Roller frames attach to tractor by a pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar. A low friction, no maintenance bushing is used in the saddle connection. Aligned to use more of the available wear material, running the track to the outside of the rollers in forward and to the inside in reverse. Track shoes available in a variety of sizes and styles to best match the working conditions. Abrasion Resistant Material (ARM) shoes are available for hard rock applications, significantly reducing unbalanced track shoe wear and improving grouser life. Suspended Undercarriage Design. Suspended undercarriage design absorbs impact loads, to reduce the shock loads transferred to the undercarriage, by up to 50 percent in uneven terrain. Bogie suspension conforms closely to the ground providing up to 15 percent more ground contact, especially in hard, uneven terrain. Higher traction means less slippage, better balance, and a smoother ride. · Integrated Carrier Roller Mount. The carrier roller mount is cast into the track roller frame making it easier to add the optional carrier roller in the field, if conditions require it. Sprocket Segments. Made exclusively of Caterpillar Tough SteelTM for longer wear life and precision machined after heat treat for proper fit. Segments can be removed or replaced without breaking the track. 10 Structure Engineered to provide durability and the solid support necessary for maximum production and service life in the most demanding work. Top and Bottom Rails. [. . . ] Cat Dealers use a worldwide computer network to find in-stock parts to minimize machine downtime. Ask about your Cat Dealer's exchange program for major components. You receive the same warranty and reliability as new products at cost savings of 40 to 70 percent. Your Cat Dealer has training videotapes, literature, and other ideas to help you increase productivity. [. . . ]
