Nice looking mess, must be one of the belly pans you have dropped. What have you got to do to the crawler?

Thanks for sharing, some of your work, with us.

Yeah, them things get hard as a brick bat from heat after some time. When they finally pop, make a helluva mess in there.

CM I dropped the transmission belly pan on a 953B once not expecting it to have as much dirt as it did I damn near broke my arm. The dirt was clear up to the top of the charge pump for the drive pumps.

Well that does make me feel a little better.;) I was concerned about how much I might have in there and well, the fact that I have ample time on my hands due to our wonderful economy.:rolleyes: I ran the bolts out with an impact and let it down with a floor jack.

Thanks Todd, that was a 42" Cat 325 bucket, I had 33 hours into it. I do use the dual shield outside but it does not like the wind.

Lookin good Tom. Have you been enjoying warmer than normal temps in your neck of the woods? It's starting to get cooler here but the days are still pretty nice out in the sun.
