Nice Picture

it is indeed - that's a nice machine you have there Mark. I think graders are my favorite machine. I used Jim Duffy's Cat 16 and it was a joy to run. It was like a D8 on wheels : )

Admin make up the lions share of comments/replies on here. You guys even let foreign admin moderate. Far cry from what it was. Very far. Sad.

Yep good picture with great machines, not all off us have time to jump on every posting, im sure we all have a great interest in machinery that are part of the group, we all have lives as well and the fact that some are able to more than others we should be grateful of there efforts, I comment only on what I believe could be of use to others even if I have never touched seen that kind of machine, yes this is a club and im happy to be apart of it with all other folks, I didn't comment on your blade system posting as I have never seen such a machine set up nor could I suggest anything as I live on the opposite side of the globe to locate parts to replace or fix it, I hope you get your machine up again to be running how you expect as soon as possible.

What?

Thank you for a nice picture. I always good to see a vintage machine that looks well cared for and ready for work.

Why all the negativity? What does it matter where the Cat lover lives? I understand your lose of parts of your snow wing. I have had parts grow leges at my place too. Maybe I need on your bad list as well living in place of no snow. Lot of crazy in my state of Fruits and Nuts ( that goes way back before the common on the street meaning of those terms today), many are fleeing. I am to old to wish to learn to deal with snow and cold. I made my living on a Cat farming, grain, hay, and nuts. So I know something of old crawlers. Sorry I never had the opportunity the learn more about other things like graders, and scrapers.

I want to thank this forum for getting to meet people in person that would of never happened without it. Sad to see it fading away. So please keep posting Mark.

Every time I work at learning to post pictures something come along and changes, or my computer equipment dies and is changed. Hopefully it will happen , just not currently.

Tidy looking machines for their age.

Thanks
