BCIII Cummins Rebuild.

Much of the insane massive loads decades ago were limited, fabrication shops for large scale construction built the oversize machines from sectional pieces on sites where today localized factories produce them and have to be hauled on the roads. Comes down to costs savings and speed. -

BCIII Cummins Rebuild.
I would love to get into that here, but have NOT the space. My own 900 should have Single Rails installed to replace the Double Rails. A little MORE WB would be an improvement for adding a Lift Steerable.
