    Koehring 6633 / 3366

    Abandoned Kato Excavator

    well... if it looks flooded out, it probably was.

    Cat 931b right steering issue

    Ok guys, here is the final update on this machine. I was looking over the rear of the machine & found the right side adjuster “screw”, caterpillar parts diagram calls it, completely missing.
