    Cat 951-C in my sights

    I got caught up in collecting tri five chevroletts. I have aquired the 1955 Belair, a 1957 Belair two door hard top, and a 1957 Nomad. All are shoe quality. i put in a BendPack 9000 pound lift and really enjoy fooling around with them. Always need to do something to one of them. Also have the...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    Well, I am still around. Some down time in the hospital as my pacemaker wires wore through my chest and then got infected. I got a new generac whole house generator installed and used the loader quite a bit to cut down a bank and level the spot for the propane tank and generator. The old 951-c...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    Just got out of the VA hospital yesterday evening. About a month to heal and I should be good to go. I have spent more than forty days in the hospital since last July. All equipment ready to roll and I have 200 gallons of diesel. Come on spring!

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    The 55 was built three years ago and was stolen at its first car show. The couple who built it planned to do some traveling in it. They caught the thieves but not before the car incurred some damage. The police kept the car as evidence for a year and a half. The trial for the thieves was...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    Yes in the Ford handle, it is ford and Mid Ten Ford Trucks had it in stock. They also knew the part number without looking it up. Seems that the same handle was used on some F150 and 250s. The 55 is really fun to drive. I learned, just once, that she will go sideways with you when she hits 2nd...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    Warning, these pictures are graphic ! If your doctor reccomends Jardiance for your heart disease and diabetes, remember what you see here, and refuse the medication. The side effect of the medication is Fournier's Gangrene. I was not expected to survive this emergency surgery. This is what I...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    Good idea Welder Dave, but I did spend a full month after coming home watching re run westerns on the TV. That got old quick. I kind of think the only way to regain some of what has been lost is to get busy with something meaningful. Physical therapy sucks, when the same energy could be spent on...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    I was climbing down from the dump truck yesterday. I had the grab bar with my right hand and the door lever in my left hand and when I stepped backward, the door lever broke. Seemed like I fell for five minutes. I hit the pavement with my left elbow first, then my sore ass, smashing my colostomy...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    I have the restored 1948 Ford F-i that I enjoy showing at the car shows, but I have always wanted a 1955 Chevy. So, when I got out of the hospital I started searching. I wanted a rotisserie resto mod, and I found just what I was looking for. It is immaculate. PS, 4 wheel PB, Cold air, all new...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    Both of the Cats, the D4-E and the 951-C are in good shape and ready to go to work. I'll just need to keep the batteries tended until spring. the dozer is a straight shift and may be a hand full, but I think I should be able to handle it by spring. The loader should be no problem. I still have...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    I had the 1999 GMC Top Kick dump truck with the ten speed transmission. That transmission requires double clutching. I can't do that much clutching anymore so I sold it three weeks after getting out of the hospital. I replaced it with a very nice Sterling with cold air and a Allison automatic...

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    I came down with Fournier's Gangrene due to the medication, Jardiance, that was prescribed for my heart disease and diabetes. Turns out that the Chloracne that I got in the service, due to Agent Orange exposure in 1967 created the perfect storm for the Gangrene. It is hard to believe that 54...
