While having a look on the MMT site I came across the three pictures below,its the worst vandal damage I have ever seen,looks like the moron got the backhoe going and wrecked the Cat and two trucks with it,just goes to show that equipment needs to be secured with a decent immobilizer so the engine can't be started,even to have turned off the fuel would have prevented a lot of that damage,what a waste.

Tom, that would be too quick and easy so strap their butt with a belt till blood would run down both legs and then keep doing it for a week and then do what you said to put them out of their misery.That,s about as bad a vandalism as I have seen.I hope the poor guy has insurance so he doesn,t go bankrupt because he can,t purchase new equip.

You would have thought that someone would have heard all the noise and went to find out what the heck was going on. I live out in the boonies and you can hear that stuff for a mile or so. I would have gone to see what all the noise was.

Wow, that is bad. Might have been that who did it had a grudge or was owed some pay. I will agree that the one that did that deserves a slow, inhumain fate. 😠

Does anyone know the forward speed an older Cat (with a starter engine) will crawl IF the Cat is in first gear, with clutch engaged, and the pony engine is in low gear and the compression release is "open" and the starting engine is idling and the throttle of the diesel of OFF?

Here is what I'd like to do the these kind of vandels.

First you have to catch him or them, stake him or them down to the ground and then place one of the Cat tracks right in line with their feet and start it crawling. It would slowly crawl onto their feet then slowly continue until the whole person is run over. Then you finish starting the Cat and dig a hole and bury the scumbag.😠 😠 😠 😠

I would NEVER really do that but IT makes you so angry for them to do this kind of damage that you'd feel like doing just something like that.

There is NEVER a justification for vandels.

Walt, I think someone may have almost beat you to the punch. I got these pics in an email that said this guy was trying to jack the trucker's truck in an intersection. I didnt include the 3rd pic because it was a little to gruesome.

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."
