Who is today the happiest man in the world ?
That’s me.
Last year my friend found some track shoe's from the Caterpillar S-D8lgp at one machine dealer in America.
But he did not tell that, so this week, the container arrived with Caterpillar machinery and parts.
To me, it is very special now to have here in the Netherlands something from this beautiful dozer of the south pole.
If you look good, you'll see that even the name CATERPILLAR in the track shoe's has been cast !
Thank you Gilbert.

Hey Quad,

If you jump the pond and end up at the "Best of the West Show" located at the Santa Margarita Ranch, I'll gladly let you care for MaryAnn all week end. Take her on a Test Drive and then Parade her. Let me know if you can make it. Your always welcome anytime of the year to come visit her. I finally made contact with Pam's owner. He is a great guy. [attachment=41647]IMG_3557.jpg[/attachment]

Hey HollandCat...

Oh no! I hope things are better for you! Bring Quad, we will let him Push with MaryAnn. You can Push with the Siamese Twin D8 along Side with the Side x Side. It'll be like a triple Side with about a 33' wall of dirt rolling...đŸ˜–hocked:... it'll make Quad happy...đŸ˜˜

I will say a prayer for your health my friend...

I so hope you can show your doctor that you can make the trip. So sorry to hear of your health issue. Those kind of things just come up at the wrong times. We are looking forward to seeing you, Nielske and others coming with you again at the show.

QuAD you are missing out. We'd love to have you over here too! Don't make me come to Holland to meet you! But I might some day.

God speed my friend!

Jan, let's head over next summer - I'm sure Quad has a show or two that we can enjoy. I haven't been to Europe for a few years so it's about time

In that first B&W photo of the Cat, the car in the background is a 1960 Opel Rekord.

I remember as my uncle had one with the electric clutch. If you touched the gear lever in some way, the clutch was engaged/disengaged. They later had it replaced with a normal foorclucth, as the 'lectrics' of the day didn't cope with Oom Piet's driving...

Great for you that all you 'plans can come together'!

Testimonials

"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."
