Did that machine go to Blooming Glen Contractors? I saw one of their lowbeds with a 973D on street road in Warminster last week.

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I caught this at the local Cat dealer the other day, and figured I'd share it.

My question is... where were you on these photo's pullpan?:beatsme I thought you were my dealer for my 973D fix until they release them to us lackies...lol

Gorgeous loader. If someone is lookin to have it put through its paces, just have it shipped to the Caribou Industrial Park in Ft McKay Alberta. We're building the new Finning shop, so it should be working in a future cat house.

I have not seen that 973D since the last picks. I thought H&K still had machine.

Please do get many many photos of that loader if you stop by. I will reward said photo's with dirty photo's of the girlfriend unit in return

As promised, here are some more pics. Unfortunatley, no one was around to talk to about it.

Were you able to get any others of the best? I am especially interested in the interior. It's a sexy lookin loader, kinda surprised it would just be sitting there. Should be out running around somewhere moving dirt.

I love the demo guards over the bucket cylinders, but it seems odd that its setup with the traditional V lever for direction control. I thought the big thing about the D series 73 was the option of joystick steering with the 4spd hydrostat.

burnout here are pictures of a 963D interior...i imagine they are very much the same

 

[AtlasRob]

Jeez! thats the biggest steering wheel I ever see in a track loader

 

[granitefan713]

Sorry they are a few days late, but here are those other interior shots of the 973D I promised.

All the D's will have the option of joystick or vee-pattern. I understand JD are now offering vee-pattern where they were joystick before. I prefer the vee-pattern, my feet get bored driving joystick.

Any news?

I'm getting closer to order one, and I don't want a C-series. :wink2
