Just a couple of pics of what we have to work with. Its old but it works, we just did an in frame on this one.
She looks good, but I'd turn that stack around so it doesn't blow all the smoke right back at ya.
Yeah its been done, thanks
Don't forget to keep that pretty chrome stack polished too!!
I couldnt see nothing but a lowboy, a turbo and an injection pump!. Kinda looked like a engine in there somewhere. Stupid camo! Jason
Looks like a good set of chains, I see the front idler is back quite a ways. Nice machine. Does it have the later transmission? Phil
Yeah, full hydrostat, the last cat mechanic that put a tensioner on it said it had about 90% undercarriage left. Not hard to believe because we normally only use the machine for recovering stuck vehicles. Hour meter had 352 on it before the engine rebuild, but i don't know when that hour meter was put on.
that is a sweet machine man i got a d8 cable job that run
how did you get all the exhaust manifold studs out of the head?
Put a new head on, the old head had more problems than the exhaust studs. It was corroded all the way through on some of the exhaust ports as well as on the sealing surface.
