    Caterpillar D7 3T

    Starting engine re fitted, it’s a tight squeeze with the Bray dozer equipment fitted.

    A bit more cleaning up and chasing threads out, proper gasket too ! Some donated spark plugs are on their way. Starting engine petrol tank has some “extra” holes, I will have a go at repair before adding to the shopping list. I know of a fine gentleman that has a small selection of items...

    Cat 977L

    Bit more to report on the 977, first of the two lift cylinders have been re sealed, this one was weeping excessively, too much to ignore. The biggest job is getting the nut undone, ended up welding the socket to some heavy plate and using hydraulic help to get it moving. Thanks must go to...
