Model History and Information: The Cat D9T replaced the D9R in 2004, the main change being Caterpillar's switch to the C18 ACERT inline-six engine and differential steering in place of the D9R's V8 3408 HEUI engine and clutch-and-brake steering, while flywheel power held at 410 horsepower. Tracing back to the first elevated-sprocket D9, the 1980 D9L, the D9T carries the same high-drive undercarriage that Caterpillar has used on its large track-type tractors since, and it remains known for strong pushing and ripping power on heavy construction and mining jobs. This 1:87 HO-scale replica scales the D9T down with a moveable blade and highly detailed metal tracks.
