well i was not able to get any pictures as my camera is now having issues accepting memory cards, however my dad and i each put 15 hours or our respective machines. Our job was to remove some trees and push a lot of dirt back on to a 1/2 mile of sunken road so that the water would flow to the ditches again instead of down the road. We accomplished it without much incident, and had fun. My 16 did a great job and the motor is leak free and didnt blow up so i must have done my overhaul right, lol. We did discover that dad's hd15 needed a new clutch as we were hesitent to tighten it any more and was slipping a little, so he was easy on it. Weve already got it torn down, it just needs a driven disc, the rest looks very good and is in much better shape than when i replaced my HD16 clutch.
happy pushing everyone....

hydraulics eventually offered many advantages including speed. Also 6 way blades, etc. They told me the cable machines were more precise back in the day and it took a while for hydraulics to be reasonably reliable in the dirt.

| A cable blade will go into the ground quite well unless the ground is very hard or cutting bits are worn off. The bits on either end of the blade should be longer (protrued farther down) than the center cutting edge. These will suck the blade into the ground unless the ground is very hard, or your dealing with a lot of rock. My cutting bits are far from new but have performed well. Cable blades will most often lift higher than hydraulic blades which is very nice for tree removal. Also, alot of dozers were still equiped with cable blades in order to also use for pulling scrapers even after hydraulics became popular. and yes early hydraulics were slow and often leaky because of seal technology and dirt. |

Hey Cal, sweet line up of big crawlers there. You can do some serious earth moving for sure!
Any idea where those mosters originated? Are they local to your area?

| Been trying to talk a gent out of a HD11 in Salem Mo for over two years, sits in the brush but he says he may try to use it yet again. As far as I can tell it has not moved in ten years, offered good money but he won't budge. |
