Hi Kevin, Have you tried Alan Horstmann, he knows most the Cats in S.A., N.T and northern W.A. doesn't he, it's a shame Peter typically never kept the blades of most the old Cats he bought, a Cat without a blade or hydraulics is pretty limited to what it can be used for but he wasn't planning on using them was he, just saving them, a friend over near Port Lincoln bought a nice D7 stick rake off Peter about 3 or 4 years back and put it on his 17A, I wonder if that came off your D7? That tractor got sold last year and is now up near Kimba I reckon.
regards
Mike

Yes Mike, can confirm the we rake bought came off this tractor. I remember Peter telling me about it.
The ol whistler went upto Streaky Bay and is still in regular use. We still have the rake though.
Cheers
