Groveton,Ga I think. At the rest area just before the East bound coops. Waiting for daylight and make tracks North.

Would of liked to have loaded the 988B I was after. But fell through. I'll give it till tomorrow some time then head down to Ga. I got a Crane to load this week, Then a Sk480 Kobelco hoe. Heading out towards Fort Hood with it.

Sitting here in White Pine,Tn. Anybody around here?

I might of missed it but have you had your front tires looked at. When my rears where out my rear shook.Hows the front end feel. You might want to look into Centramatics all the way around if you got Budds

Thats why I had to do an inframe. Blew the head gasket. It had gotten hot and never cycled the fan and before I realized it the buzzer went off. But I think it was gone before that as it had for as long as I can remember owning this you could never fill the rad completely up. would blow it out the overflow. Long story short I started having injector problems about 2 months befoe the truck was downed. Took it to cat had a bad connection on one. It ran good but always seemed to get warm. This still runs warm and probally in a few months I am goingto go to Pittsburgh and get one of there radiators and thermostats stuffed in here. My other probs where just the manifold gaskets between the joints of the 3 piece exhaust manifold and where the turbo goes on.

Makes me glad I got the pre Acert stuff. 98 3406E here 600. My main prob was turbo and manifold gaskets. Took care of that put a Pittsburgh power manifold on it and put a small muffler on as the straights got old and not enough pressure to keep from overspinning the turbo. What I was told.Also keeps my egt's alittle lower.

What year Cat?

I just hope now with them passing the budget or extending it that Monday I'll be able to order my Od permits I need. Or like some of the other states they Furlough the permit department 1 or 2 days a week or month and screw everything up

Wow you guys are harsh on Petes lol. Well so far since the inframe minus taking it back because they didn't put a gasket on the front cover and it leaked oil. Been good. Little odds and ends other then that nothing bad. Did loose a driveshaft in SLidell and limped it home to Fl after shaker wouldn't work on it. I can't complain. just a few more little things to fix but hell they all have little bugs or something

Congrats and thats a sharp looking ride

Guy I know had and old Dm took fishing line and tied it around the dog and hung a set of nuts on him. Damnedest thing. it was an attention getter

IDK if it is right but could it be 8.54? just can't see the other half

it could be all trans for him like you said. if that is right unless he has a direct that truck should roll out mid 90's to say the least

You got that right. Totally useless

I'm running 4.11's with an 18 on 11 24.5 rubber it will run mid 90's I'd leave the 3.54's if you want to cruise. It should run if thats what your looking for.

Congrats on the grand baby

I've never run a track loader, Only rubber tired. I moved one not that long ago. 1 thing I do not understand is why would you reverse the controls from a rubber tired machine to a track machine. Thank god nobody was near me I would of probally killed them. Reached for the outside lever pulled back to raise the arm and the bucket dumps. Had to scratch my head on that one. Of course no stickers anywhere to show the functions.If I ever bought one the controls would go to a wheel loaders controls. I know I was happy with the 950 we had. We'd go anywhere, do just about anything the dozer could do. or hell a backhoe for that matter. When you don't have what you need you use what you got.
