Re: CAT 374D L
That's great! Looks like it's time to install a new water line, phone line, or sprinkler system now that the hand shovel is obsolete :D

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway

Re: 6 Cylinder Diesel For a D9
Will the bore and stroke be the same as a D353? They are 6.25"x8" and redlined about 1200-1225 rpm which is my favorite thing about them. Much more enjoyable to live with on a boat rumbling at 800...

Thanks guys!
Nathan, I've got a Clausing 8530 mill. It's a pretty nice little machine. Only thing I wish was different about it is it would be nice to have more Y-axis, but other than that it's...

Re: Mack M75SX
I've heard of pushing dirt off a platform above the truck but that's a new one on me. I like that out-of-the-box thinking.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Is the structure of the house steel? If it is, how do you keep it from rusting? Heated shop? Around here it's so wet unprotected steel doesn't take long before rust starts to form.
