Michigan Cat in Kalkaska , Michigan is the only Cat dealer in our area . We pass by it everytime we go to Traverse City and I always stare into the yard looking for new equipment . But these days it is pretty empty and rarely see any new pieces of equipment. But it was at Carter Cat in Va. where I was in my glory !! Seeing several Cat D-11R’s in the yard and several other mining machines. I remember seeing a used Cat 992 loader and a brand new one too . In fact they let me drive the brand new one , that was so COOL !! I grew up loving John Deere equipment and never imagined i would end up liking Cat equipment so much. Todays picture is a past model that I really liked and a one of a kind piece. I thought it would be fun to post another angle of it.
Cat 1/3rd scale D-11R Dozer Progress- The Cat D-11T does have a different look but i love the D-11R’s . Today I am finishing up the sanding on the front lift cylinders and will get them primed this afternoon . Also I should get the first two rear ripper cylinder roughed in by tonight .
Gaylord Weather – Deb and I were up early walking around town and temps in the 50’s was perfect. Supposed to get in the 70’s today .
Have a great Monday !!
