These are some old pics I had put onto a CD so I could post them. Taken around 1979-80 at Missouri Valley Machinery in downtown Omaha.

I have to say that this is a cool thread.
I won't say anything about "real Cats" and Aurora, and ONLY Aurora, because guys get mad at me , but cool thread nonetheless.;)

Things that we never saw in Australia- the Hancock Elevator. Was it 11 or 22yd3. Hancock bowls were the best & appeared on Wabco, Terrex & Michigan elevators. The 210H Michigan was my favourite, with suspension too, would outperform the 623b's with their B grade "johnson" bowls :tong but that transmission was too complex & was their downfall :eek:
Any pics of a Michigan 210H or HB Alan ?

Now look at how many of the old machines are still in service today ? A large percent are still working while the high tech have to have a computer tech standing by when the windows program has a problem and kills the machine.
