For those who have never seen one, Jay Wacks Euclid TC 12 Bulldozer will be in opertation at the National Pike/HCEA Show August 8, 9 and 10 near Brownsville Pa.

Sounds like a few from ILL are going that way.

We will also have Dale McManaman's LeTourneau Super C Tournapull,Sam Descutner's newly restored Bucyrus Erie 22B, Wayne Baker's 992A, and our single cylinder Caterpillar 3401 Oil Test engine.

The Cat dealer I worked for sold the BE line and the 22B was quite a machine. I remember we sold one mounted on a truck chassis to a local scrap yard here in Wilkes Barre and we kept it serviced for him.Also the 992s were quite popular here in the area and sold quite a number of them too.They had back then the big V 3412 engine in them.Also in the coal strippings operation there were lots of the big BE drag lines in service and many had Cat engines in them.

I was given the chance to try and learn to run Paul Smith's 22B last year. I got the swing down, but needed more seat time to get the rest down pat.
