Ok a little back story. My son wanted to restore a tractor for a local competition at the California Mid-state Fair. So he decided that he wanted to do a Cat D2. Being a Cat mechanic for almost 30 years I thought it was a good idea. We acquired a D2 from my brother in law and we started to disassemble it. Everything was wrong with this tractor. Engine was bad,Transmission was junk, Clutches frozen, etc. We quickly started the search for a better alternative. We found 3J349. Although it wasn't perfect, we were able to get it started and drive it. We drove it to its current location and started to totally disassembled the machine.

it likes em one at a time. new software new software problems. but the old software was no longer supported and was way behind the times so new software for the website and forum was needed. there is a few teething problems. that slowly are being fixed

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
