Welcome to the board and congrats on your new purchase. Where in PA are you located? Did the machine come from PA? I am from the philadelphia area and own two High Clearance tens myself. Another fellow has been keeping a registry of sorts for all of the caterpillar tens. A majority of the parts for a regular ten are interchangeable with the more common standard ten. If you are looking for parts, need addtional infromation, etc., drop me an email at [email protected] I also have a large supply of caterpillar ten parts and parts machines.

I forgot to mention- yes they are rare and are a very desirable collectable. Please post some pics!

On a deal like that you probably forgot the camera for taking pictures of its rescue?
Just remember to take a photo's now and then while working on it. That way if you get discouraged at some point you can look back at the photo's and remember how bad it was when you started!
