    The Fleetguard Enviroguard looks like it would do away with the blowby smoke/oil residue. Has anyone installed one of these on a 3116 Cat motor?

    Best places to look for track loader

    I've got 3 track loaders, here in Texas. Considering selling one, I'm in Lockhart area. I use them for everything. Brush clearing, loading dump trucks, rough & fine grading, demolition, cleaning out& building tanks & roads. The most versatile piece of equipment, with the right operator.
