    Old Cat thats been sitting?

    I haven't had a chance to go look at it yet but they sent me some pictures. Didn't get a good one of the undercarriage though. One thing i was surprised about is there's no pup motor. Is that common?

    Undercarriage

    Thanks guys. Almost sounds like Ive maybe been worrying to much about the undercarriage for small hours a year. Is there somewhere online where i can find the amount of links its supposed to have or will have to talk to a dealer?

    Undercarriage

    Ok. I found some info on youtube. But they never mentioned wear in pins and bushings on rails. And that's what i was kinda most concerned about. So basically if they all seem tight and there's still some tightener left its all good??

    Thanks John. Is there anything else I should know about this machine? Or is there anything else I should look at on it? The undercarraige looks decent and the motor and hydraulic pump are supposed to be overhauled.

    "If it's a pain to find parts for you could always look for an older Cat like 215, 225 etc." Hey 245dlc. I found a Cat 225LC. Havent been to look at it yet but have some pictures. Anything special i should look at when i go to look? What do you think this should be worth?

    Guy wasn't there when I looked at it so didn't see it operating. So not sure about the controls. I'm sure there is better options but they would be a lot more money. And machine looks pretty good. But maybe not worth the extra pain

    I'm in sw mb. Yes there's a compressor on the motor. Under the hood on the left hand side there is a big tank. Looks like it's kinda air/hydraulics.
