Would be a neat machine to run. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

tjc transport Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 i hope the ladder on that 10 folds up out of the way, or it will most likely get ripped off on the first good push.

I think it pivots right up there at the cat walk, and swings up above the final drive . I've never seen one up close , I'm sure they do wonders..

The ladder is/can be hydraulic optioned and swings up and clear. Friend of mine designed that right here in Peoria. It works well.

tjc transport Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 i figured it did with what looks like a hydraulic mount on the rear side of the ladder. but it looks by the way it is mounted to pivot forward. if it went to the rear over the sprocket, it would also have to raise to clear the sprocket and tracks.

j hancock Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Here is a picture from AZ Iron of the CAT D10T2 ladder in the stowed position so it is out of the way while operating. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 ok, now it makes sense. pivots on two axis, to the rear and also flips 180 so the handrails face the machine when in stowed position.

gxbxc Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I guess that machine was not intended for jungle busting or forestery work .because that ladder would not last past the first big tree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think the ladder is an option. The D10t (brand new) I saw this summer did not have one of those bulky ladders hanging off of the side.

gxbxc Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I ran the big three back in the late seventies ,955 with the bigger motor a 977, and the real beast 983, the 983 was one hell of rock digging machine and the only one I didn't think was under powered.

AZB755V8 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I has a Cat 931B for years. It was a real handy machine for just about anything. Had a 4 in 1 bucket and pin on John Deere 16 foot removable hoe on the back. It sat for the last ten years I had it and leased the house and barn. Put a fresh battery in it a shot of ether and it fired right up every time. It was stored inside most of the time I had it. Rebuilt the engine, undercarriage, drive clutches and brakes... over the years. Sold it for $2000 after owning it for 25 years, no one wanted it, had descent paint on it to. Ran fine and still could move a lot of dirt around. Funny but use to be working it with the girl I was dating sitting to one side, Ya know sort of like that Green tractor song, over 25 years ago. We'll be married 25 years in May. Actually got my first Mack to pull it around in the early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehummell Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The older 977's had a 318 6 cylinder engine not rated for much power the same engine used in trucks were 215 or 250 hp. the 983's had a 343 and was rated about 275 hp same engine in trucks was the 1693. the 983 was a beast didn't see to many of them.

The 955 probably more so as a pintle hitch trailer behind a dump truck was all that was needed to move it.

davehummell Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 You would of thought twice about thinking that 955 or 977 h's were the best when you had to do steering cutches or tranny work. I worked on all of them models at a cat dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
