Today I have started on a light rebuild off the Swedish Klipan cab on my HD16DC. The roof and side shields need replacement. All the others I just give some albue grease.

Wow, X2! What a beautiful "barn"! Most of us would trade our first born for a setup like that. What is "Pon"? (on the truck), and what brand is the service truck? Nice looking machinery in the background too. I am very jealous! ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Pon is the caterpillar dealer in Denmark. The Truck is a MAN TGM 12.280 |

I had a appointment with a guy with a hydraulic bender to fold the new roof but he’s sick so I can’t be done with the cab refresh before Christmas. So I have made new seals around the cab and brand new wiper motors and last of all a step so I can reach the fuel cab.

I've got some AC logos I could send you for your truck, I put some on my bucket/service truck, looks better then the old phone company logos. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

I was quite effective this morning, I have made a complete new roof for the cab. So now I have to wait to the paint to dry 👍🏻

Morten.have Nice work on the ole AC Crawler Dozer. Especially like the open design shop with the I beam support system - that is a real neat design for a shop. Reminds me of the old Sharon Steel Buildings that were available at one time here on the east coast - New York/Pennsylvania.

I'd say you were effective Morten. Impressive work. Are you painting it Cat Yellow? |

All buildings in Denmark is that way I have newer seen other types around here. 👍🏻

Correct jerry it’s a cat top coating. I don’t know the code of the original ac yellow and I had some cat paint laying around. Are the cat and the ac yellow much different?

Posted By: jerbob
Date Posted: 31 Dec 2017 at 7:02am
| The car yellow is always concistent and available. With help from others on this forum and reading up on the topic, AC over years would change their yellow from year to year to suit engineering whims and consumer feedback. Looking up info from multiple sites including major industrial paint manufacturers such as PPG and Sherwin Williams there are many different paint codes. On my HD16 restore I started using the CAT YELLOW but my tractor has original Yellow and I like the look so I am getting it duplicated. It's a light or pale yellow. I will post pics for the group and code with manufacturer for anyone's use. You are doing great work Morten. I like the rear step for the fuel tank and it's a great idea. |

Here in Michigan, today,, it is 0 degrees F and about a 18 mph wind. Wind chill which I don't really pay attention to is -17 F. At night its been -5 to -8 actual temp and we have at my place roughly 8 inches of snow on the ground. My tractor barn is not heated and that is where my HD 16 is so have not been doing much on it the last 3 weeks. Hands freeze up too quick. Using the time to fabricate some parts and chase down some electric gremlins. Loving the work you are doing Morten. Those tracks are beefy for sure. |

More Cat yellow for you jerry. I’ve just finished the roof so now I’m ready to crane it on 👍🏻 In the meantime I have installed some asphalt and sponge type sound suspension around the cab. I have given all the floor guards a coat treatment of noise killer on the underside.

Re your service van. You must have better roads than we have. Those tools on your shadow board wouldn't stay there very long here. There is a Colin Buchanan song about the Wanaaring road which gives you an idea. Among its achievements were shaking all the bolts out of the mailman's truck and causing the birth to a baby. |

DiyDave Thanks for that. Another one - We've had a bit of trouble with some of our federal politicians and dual citizenship lately. In response he has a song with a title somewhat like "The 2017 Australian Federal Parliament Anthem " .

Glad they made it in fairly good shape, the envelope the post office gave me was a bit small for the labels but for overseas mailing there weren't many choices. What are you going to put them on? ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

| Morton that is fantastic work. I am wondering if you could do us a favor after it warms up next spring. We here in the mid western USA are not able to see farming operations in other parts of the world. I am wondering if you would be kind enough to post pictures of your farm and its operation. Also would love to see pictures of your dozer in operation. I sure hope I am not out of place asking, I assure you we would love to see pictures of your farm. Thank You! |

I have planed to put them on the service van to Provocate cat, but no one over here,knows what ac is at all. So i decided to put them on the Dozer to promote the brand here in Denmark I would love to do so. I can easily take some pic from around here :) |

The ones I had made like yours are on the doors of my "service truck" a 1996 Ford F450 ex telephone company bucket truck. Put "Farmer Johns" under the AC decal, looks almost professional! ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |
