You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
I looked up old conversations and it doesnt look like a whole lot matches but some does. So now I have to figure whats the blade and winch worth to me. After adding moving the machine costs.
Hi, Tim M.
The experts will likely be along shortly to 'corr-wrecked' me if I am wrong but I think the winch and the blade will certainly interchange and much of the other 'stuff' will too, even down to the main frames and tracks. As I understand it, it was around the change from 3T to 17A that the blade lift went from 4 falls of rope to 6 falls, which meant different sheave blocks top and bottom of the blade lift but I think the actual sheave blocks will interchange from one to the other.
The 17A engine was a little more 'grunty' and there may have been some slightly different ratios in the transmission.
Just my 0.02.

Hi Mr. Deas Plant ; They are both hydraulic I wonder if the cylinders and pump are the same ? Thanks Tim

"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."
