Ismo, are you near Sotkamo? A fellow Perttu that I think is no longer with us resurrected a 36A D8 back in 2011 which is probably now with some other members there.
Hello Neil
Sorry, I don't personally know member Perttu but have seen lot of you tube videos when he is starting D8 engine before restoration.
I am living southwest corner of Finland in city named Salo, between Helsinki (capital city) and Turku. Sotkamo is some 400 miles to northeast from Salo.
I am not sure but I think Perttu might be maintenance engineer in mining business but not sure for this. Do you know Perttu?
I also like to meet other Cat enthusiasts so we have only few of them in Finland
I and my brother are little more or less grazy for these old Cats.
Now our project is to bring to life motorgrader 12 9K year 1942.
We have also some tractors 1930 TEN, 1937 TWENTY TWO, 1950 D4 (part machine), 1955 D6, 1958 D4, 1961 D4, 1964 D4, 1967 D7
This Acmoc BB is priceless help for us when trying restore those old machines --- thanks for it
Regards Ismo
