Here are some photos of my two D8s. Both undercarriages are WTOF and the 2U has had a somebody ¨trying to repair it¨.
-14A was dead in that spot on the property since my grandfather got it in the 70s, no history on whats wrong with it. Grandpa kind've used the engine for parts.
-2U was my grandfather's and was parked in the 90s due to steering clutch failing, he wedge something between the release fork and clutch pack to get it into this spot. (I'll need to get a better angle but the blade has the Caterpillar logo on the top of it)

My plans are to either repair the pony motor, steering clutches and operator station on the 2U to make it serve a few 100 more hours of work or (and this is a big or) I may do a health check on the 14A and transplant the engine depending on what I find wrong with it.

I also attached two photos of an old buggy grader we have just because it's cool and figured you guys may enjoy see it.
