Hello all, here is my Caterpillar D7 3T
I managed to save it from the cutting torch, it was had for scrap money plus a bit of transport, so doesn’t owe a lot.
It has a Bray bulldozer blade (looks like a La Plante Choat type) with the hydraulics run from a pump on the rear PTO.
It also has rear hydraulic spools for running trailed equipment run by a pump on the crank at the front.
Running gear not too bad but the starting engine is stuck and the rear brake bands need doing.
Plenty to do when the 977L is a bit further along.
Cheers Chris.

Nice find. Looking forward to seeing what it takes to get it running. It will be another good thread:)
