Iam looking for a cat 983 loader for sale.
I see the 955 and 977 but don't see the 983 very often, I don't even remember when i last saw one. btw, Welcome to HEF.
They are scarce around here now. Rumbel had one or two out in Mississauga. Haven't seen much of them for years. Last around was a fleet of them owned by Wally D Spinno out of Montreal, Contract miners, blast and haul rock. They all had side dump buckets, half home made LH dump. They did a lot of work on James Bay hydro dams and did most of the rock work at Darlington. I was down to the end of the cooling tunnel, 35 feet down and a quarter mile out under the lake, watching one work. Got bad headache from blasting smoke/gas. Later Bob
Welcome to the Forums dozerman58!:drinkup 983's are as scarce as hens teeth. Here is one for sale - http://www.machinerytrader.com/list...d=1024&Manu=CATERPILLAR&Mdltxt=983&mdlx=exact
Not for nuttin', (as they say in Brooklyn), but that machine looks like a 977L, not a 983. Someone must have lettered it wrong. Tony
Its serial number is listed as 38K1040. That is a 983.
Don't look like a 977 to me. Later Bob
I like the trashcan over the exhaust. I saw a video of one.....looked big and heavy.
If anyone is still looking for a 983 there is one on an auction in Kansas City. Looks a little rough, but apparently all there. There is a video of it operating. http://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?130725/G3270
76,000#, how would one move that! And does cat still carry rail components? That would be a pig to work on.
Its a 983 when you look at the pics of engine you can see the d343 cat engine smiling back at ya
Im not sure but I think it had d8 undercarriage components but it still wasn't as big as a 155 komotsu track loader
are you still looking for a good 983 if so call me at 814 598 0402 jim duffy
