OIH, you were looking for another project weren't you? Right in your own back yard.
Sasquatch and I are going on a road trip tomorrow to view all Diablo's stuff. Its scattered around a few different towns. Although my 11 is complete and running there might be a few parts I could use some day on the 11. I understand there is some other interesting relics where the grader is. There is also a couple D9s at a couple other spots and if I remember right a 1H D8. If anybody is looking for something or want a different picture of anything let us know. If nothing else Sasquatch and I will get a good BS session in.
Take some pics of the D9's please.
OIH,
Have a good time with Toby. I'd ride along if I were there. (If you would have me)

Guys, I uploaded a simple walkaround video of each machine that o-I-h and I looked at yesterday, I have no connection with the sellers of these machines and hope the videos are taken just as an objective observation of each one. I am not trying to influence the potential sales of these in any way, rather just trying to let everybody see what we saw. It was a very good way to spend a day though, looking at old Caterpillar iron and meeting new people along the way.

Sasquatch,
Since I did not get to ride along, I feel like I was there anyway thanks to you taking the time to post these vids. I can well imagine you saw a lot of good stuff there as I can see even more stuff in the background. Nothing like a visit to the junkyard, particularly one with lots of yellow iron! Thanks for posting.
Will we be seeing you at Santa Margarita? We'll have way better stuff than what you saw here.
