    I've done weld and fab for over 40 years. I could have done that, but I would have been a nervous wreck. Amazing work as always, and one hell of a service truck also. Always good to see you when I get home from the ammo plant after midnight. Keep em coming Brother. Be safe! Thomas, Mississippi!!

    It is amazing the levels of repair you achieve to bring good equipment back to life. As I've told you before I worked at the Decatur, IL plant where parts of the tractor scrapers are built. Many of the scraper bowls come from a plant in South America, actually Brazil. CAT has had a strong presence in Brazil back into the 60's and 70's.
    I'm looking forward to the videos to come. The complexity of this rebuild is over the top!!!!!!!
    Go Big Daddy!!!
