I was talking to a very shy Cat collector here in Oz the other day and he mentioned he needed a good head for a TD18 he had, and I asked him why he didn't ask for one on the Red Power site but apparently they don't allow that, adverts for selling or buying, seems a stupid rule to me not being able to help each other keep these old crawlers going, but then I'm not into Inters at all.

Anybody in Oz or north America know where to find a good head, the boy drives me nuts already, so hopefully solving this problem for him might ease the pressure he keeps putting on me!
Thanks
Mike

yeah mate I have got a complete machine in a paddock at Elaine in Victoria he can have the whole machine I'm not sure who would own the farm now but Im sure I could find out might take some time though it would be 15 yrs since I have seen the machine who knows it might have gone to scrap but if its still there he is welcome to it

Paul

Hi Paul, A complete machine you say, when you come south for a drive in the slack season we can go look for it, I'd never heard of Elaine and looking at Google Maps I see it is down near Ballarat, there is going to be a big antique Cat get together in early November at Lake Goldsmith, just up the road from Elaine.

Oh Mike you had me worried you going over to the dark side looking for corn binder parts.Good to know you where not going around the bend.But we could go to buddy Dave's canyon under cover of darkness when you come stateside and see what we could find.

Not to take this to far off topic.Are you going to have time to see if I can get you in another friend shed to see his gas Cats,as you said will have family in tow?Or have you managed to infect the whole family with your disease?
Ray

Hi Ray, I'm hoping to sneak down your way without the family in tow, they still think I'm as mad as a cut snake playing with the antique Cats, I'll give you a call when I have a better idea of our movements.
Regards
Mike

Morning Paul, a wedding in November at Bendigo eh, you will be driving straight past my place, are you coming down with the truck, I still have that D2 and the 15 sitting at Innisfail looking for a ride south. The Lake Goldsmith get together is the weekend before the Melbourne Cup, so Nov. 1 and 2, that would be a good kick off for your trip south because I reckon there will be a few hooligans and ratbags at Lake Goldsmith looking for someone to share a bottle of red or two with each evening!

Mike

Hi Paul, was it Joe Camilleri you were talking to from Innisfail, that is where my tractors are sitting. Give us a hoy when you are heading to Mexico, as I said earlier there will be quite a few old Cats at Lake Goldsmith early Nov.

Mike

make shear your buddy checks his water pump as that why the one head goes out it was under sized and it need more flow to keep the frount head from over heating.
