    Cat 305 CR Retread

    I removed them and resealed the pistons with new o rings. One side the previous owner had the idler upside down. And yes it was a rental machine in its younger days, but I bought it right I think.

    Cat 305 CR Retread

    I used NAPA commercial coating paint. I mix my own recipe. Sixteen 16 ounces of MH 101 acrylic hardener to one 1 gallon paint, then reduce with about 10-15% NAPA PCR10 reducer. Usually shoot with a HF 2 quart pressure pot gun set at 8-10 psi pot pressure and 40 to 60 psi air pressure at the gun.

    Replacement Rubber Tracks

    Just bought a set of tracks for my Cat 305CR. Haven't put them on yet because I need to paint the undercarriage first. They look like a decent set of tracks, well made I'm guessing Korean as the salesman said none are made in the US.
