D6 horror

What a shame........and with belly pan and hook too. Didn't appear to be in all that bad a shape either.....where was this located?
Not exactly what I wanted to see with my morning coffee.

That's sick and to add insult to injury, they used a Cat to chew it up. I could have gone all day without seeing this.

these pictures are too graghic, maybe put a warning on the thread.

That's just the wrongity wrongest thing I've seen in a good long while. 😞

There will be many like me who will see these photos and think "I coulda used such and such a part from that machine". And as OM stated, it just didn't look in bad shape either.

It's a rather sickening sight and somewhat cannibalistic to see a Cat devouring another Cat. But yes, that seemed a rather straight and intact 9U until that yellow predator came into view.

I have to keep reminding myself that machines are just that - machines, and that it is the people operating them that (should) have the feelings!

I payd $800 for roller guards not as good as them, $500 for a belly pan like that one, cant understand why they didnt get all the good parts off first!!?, too lazy or just Silly!!!My Comment thats all!! Pete.

Crying shame to see a machine so intact smashed up like that,it looks very clean and as if its been worked on you can see a rag stuffed into the exhaust,perhaps the person that owned it got into bad health or passed away,everything that I could see in the picture could have been used to keep another tractor going rather than that wanton waste,some people have no heart,anyone know the story behind such sarcrilige,if it had been offered for sale they surely would have got more than scrap value.
AJ 😠

Just now noticed this took place near Klamath Falls. I was worried that it might of taken place near me besides...............😞 😞 😞
Still can't shake the image.

This excavator was probably run by someone that was never taught the meaning of old iron and then sadly this is what happens. They most likely have no clue as to what that Cat is actually worth to someone like us. It is going to be a crying shame if our younger generation is not taught about the history of what our fathers and grandfathers used to build this country. I am teaching my 3 boys about preserving old iron of all kinds and what my grandad operated and taught me to operate. This is my first time posting and I see there are a lot real knowledgeable iron heads on here. I wished I had pics of the Cat's I had owned. Well at least I can still picture them in my head.
