Reproduction parts-Cat 10, 15, 8c-twenty

I wish somone would make a radiator suport and radiator bottom tank for a 10/small 15, Mine are sad shape and finding good ones is tough.

Catmatt, I would be up for getting some of the Cat Ten WP covers. Greg

I forget who had them but somebody has a buch of 10 and 15 waterpump covers they had made at one of the shows this year

Bend some 1/2''emt electrical conduit and reweld to the flanges to fix the Ten lower pipe. Covers wouldn't be too much problem but no time with regular business to make any!

Matt, I would be up for a couple of those lower rad. pipes.Thanks Mike

Hey Guys; Better watch what you are making for resale. Big daddy CAT is watching our moves out here. Chapter One made some reprints of some 60+ year old 16mm movies and they won't let us sell them.
We don't see any difference between copying old movies than copying parts, seats, hoods, side shields, rock guards and service manuals.
What is your opinion guys??

The difference that I see is that you did not "make" the movie. Someone will make the pipes or seats. I can have anyone make things for me. I think the problem lies in the use of the CAT name or logo. I am sure the movie has the CAT name or logo used in the making of the film. Now, I could make my own movie using my equipment and I should be fine. Just as you folks could make your own movie using your restored CATs and the club can sell them. Just as my military vehicle club sells calendars that have Dodges, GMC's, Ford and Willys jeeps.

Just my thoughts.

I never thought of caterpillar having a problem with having repro parts made. Several guys make the sheet metal, and george logue has been making manifolds for years. I would never make anything that cat sells as if they did sell the parts, it would probably be easier to just buy them. Based on the machines I have, and the requests of fellow collectors, It seems the lower rad pipes are very hard to find.
