Hi guys,
Have a friend that is looking for hydraulic cylinders to convert his 3T from cable to hydraulic. If you have any extra cylinders for sale or any other hard nose parts and even advice on this conversion please let me know. Thanks again. Hope y'all had a great Christmas and happy New year.

Paso Bob has 3t with a hydraulic hard nose from newer D7 . Somewhere on here he has told now he modified to make it fit. Maybe someone smarter than I could find it with the search if that would help.

The hardnose on my 3T came off of a 48A D-7E. A local Cat mechanic and Ray54's uncle split it and cut about 4 inches out as the 48A frame is wider than a 3T. That was done back in the late '60's and it is still working well.
