Watch out for the steel mill loaders, every bolt on the lower half will be froze solid! The later B models had the 3406 engines where the early ones had the D343 engines.
I like the video " 983 escape plan" brand new loader!
It looks like it has a slag bucket on it and also has reinforced lift arms.[983 youtube vid]
the forestry industry here in Tasmania were mad about these machines for years using them for loading log trucks - a role now taken over by excavators and self-loading trucks.
I watched one work for a couple of hours once and was amazed at their speed and durability. And the engine sounded fantastic. Pity all the ones in Tassie are basically now worn out or scrapped.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
