    Two out of three ain't bad....right ? Yep. 2 out if 3 of our politically correct, low emission, green pieces of crap are parked. Why? Parts that are either on nationwide backorder, only found in Europe or Australia or software issues. Brother....CAT struck out with this abomination. Who ever...

    The pucks are brittle and wasted. Got lucky with the bolts. As soon as the operator saw smoke, he shut it off and called me. We towed it in with a spare 57. I agréé with the alignment check but headquarters won't go for that . This is a perfect time to do rear motormounts and be done with it...

    Changing the front driveline on a hot 657E is one thing. Add 100°+ outside temps makes it all that more miserable. On the plus side...at least we're working in the shade.

    Correction... I was wrong on the yardage. 44 yds is dirt. Blow sand is an entirely different material. 35 yds avg is what a 57 will haul when in blow sand. That drops my numbers from 49000 to 39000 yds hauled by 10 machines in 8 hrs.

    It is sand. Blow sand. The kind of sand you find at the beach or Sahara Desert. No water and you sink. Lots of water and it compacts....enough to build a house on.

    Yep. There's another patch on the bottom also. Looks like someone tried to smuggle some drugs across the border.
