Fantastic job there, congratulations. Hi KOO, I'm assuming the colour scheme might tie in with their companies colours, you know that classic old Golden Rule of Life in play, "The man with the gold, makes the rules"😆

Mike

Hi, KoO.
They're not your normal Cat color scheme. They are white for the main body, black tracks, blade and stacks and BRIGHT green air cleaners.

How's life in the GWN at the moment. I hope all is well with you and yours as it is with me here in DowNunder.

Catchyalater.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Your machines look very nice!
thanks so much for sharing.
I bet the white was a challenge to keep clean when putting back together.
One questions, is the green on the air cleaners Euclid Green?

sorry for my poor englisch writing but i give it a try to explain something.
Our compagny is building a new office and we want to do something special for when the office was officialy opening. The opening is at 09-15-2012, so we are just in time ready. We have planned to rebuild one D25U and put in at the entry of the office. We have searched for a machine in Holland but we could not found one. So I searched on the internet and found one at Omnitrac in Oregon. The price of taking the machine to Holland was a bit high according to the price of the machine, I thought when we take two machine's then the total pice is higher but only the price for the second machine, because two machine's could get into one container. We bought one straigt and one angle blade. One machine was without the pony motor (direct electric starter) and the other was with the electric started pony motor. When the machine' s arrived in Holland we decided to make twins of it. So we make a copy of the straight blade , we searched for a pony motor and we start to rebuild. The only different between the to machine's is one machine is starting electric the headengine but also with the ponymotor with a rope. The other we start with the electric pony motor. Also a little different is the radiator shell.
About the colors, these colors are our compagny colours as you can see on the internet at www.mvogroep.nl
We have done the complete rebuilding with 7 volentiers and have spend about 1500 hours.
