Hi cab, I used Amerex extenguishers on my 'dozers for years and still use one now. They are all metal, rechargable, rugged and dependable. I never had a failure or loss of charge. They just flat held up even in our South Texas heat and dust. They are a must have, the cost of a quality extenguisher is nothing compared to the cost of replacing a 'dozer.
Good idea to keep a fire ext on your CAT.
I keep a fire ext. on all my machines, mounted in plain site with easy access. Most of mine are older "General" brand. I don't know if they are still in business but the local fire ext guy here claims they are one of the best. Whatever you buy don't get one of the cheap ones with the plastic valves/head. They are usually too small, throw away quality and can't be rebuilt. Get the biggest one you can fit on your machine.
I'm sure some real firemen will chime in here.
good luck

Yeah until I get my engine enclosure situation squared away, my brushwork in this 100+ degree heat is a real risky business. Thanks for feedback.
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.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
