It’s getting a new set of steering clutches. One side was just about worn out and the right side swelled up from moisture. I didn’t want to have it done, but what’s the point of owning something that doesn’t function properly.
Very nice - new steering is like power steering!
Hi, juiceman.
Thet Deet-000 looks kinda butt-nekkid in thet foter -hope yer gonna gettit full-dressed again.
Wottza tractor thet yer cain't steer prop'ly????? FRUSTRATING.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Exactly Deas. I should leave the blade off and swap it to another machine, but then again, I am over thinking things as usual. I think "Breadler" may be the right person to break the new steering in. I will guess it would be ready to use by this fall, so I could ship it to the Dry Creek Ranch and let him shine up the blade face. This is the only machine of "several" here that slobbers when not worked hard.
Hi, juiceman.
"several"???????????? ROFLMAO. C'mon, man, don't be so 'reticent' to tell people how much of the vintage Cat market you have 'cornered'. Pretty much everybody on this BB already knows you have HEEEEEPS anyway.

Yes sir, reporting for duty!!
D5C, D4-7U, D2-5U, D2-5J
Breadler, are we going to need a long staff and red flag on the D-2 so a "big" Cat san see you in the trench?
Like the whip flags, they use in the sand dunes! lol!
D5C, D4-7U, D2-5U, D2-5J
Exactly, or on pickups at the big open pit mines. Remember, D-2 is hard to see when in the trench and "big Cats" are clawing the dirt - cts

"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."
