Caterpillar S-D8lgp Big Foot

Quad,

Thank you for posting. The blade on this one is different from the rest I have seen (mostly in pictures). It does not look like the air filters are all there, pieces missing? Original Pony tank is gone. Also no drawbar hitch.

Not sure how this would work doing forestry work with the wide pads mixing it up with stumps and logs. Pads look good considering that.

Hey Jan,

They did a good job changing the Cutting Edges when needed! :eek2:

Ha! i was going to say wow, that cutting edge looks superb! lol

That would be a cool addition to the Antique Powerland museum in Brooks.

Yes it run

No its not coming over to the Netherlands

My bet its use was in settling pond clean out or something like that.

Hi, Folks.
ANOTHER one????????????? Damn, these things are breeding like rabbits. LOL.

I'd like to know the origin of that blade. That style of 'sway brace' built onto the front end of the push arms looks like some LeTourneau blades I've seen.

Hi, Quad.
Thanks for posting these photos, M8. Evidence of another one.

Does anybody have any updated information on the one(s) allegedly 'resting' up in Alaska that had a D353 engine and orange paint work?

I also have a photo of the front-mounted long range fuel tank for the tractor.

Just my 0.02.

Deas,

I think Larry Cruz (owner of Pam) ended up with that one. He is planning rescue operations, last I talked with him.
