- This summer we visited the Earthmoving Legacy Center in Elkader Iowa. Our good friend Justin from Mobile Track Solutions/ Earthmoving Legacy Center invited us to check out their restored Caterpillar 660 Scraper.
You can visit the Earthmoving Legacy Center at 24412 IA-13, Elkader, Iowa. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
What a beautiful machine. I grew up in Southern California and in the mid 80s-90s I used to watch fleets of these monsters (and 651s and 657s) bring down the mountains. Oh the good old days👍👍
Beautiful engine sound
Love that big yellow iron!
Hi, vantagetes.
IF that tractor is the original for that can, it would, IF my memory serves me rightly, be a 77F series tractor with a 3X3 transmission. I see that the tractor also has traction control eneabling the front wheels to be lifted off the ground to transfer all of the tractor's weight to the drive wheels.
The "A" series cans had the bowl lift rams located in close to the goosenech while the "B" series cans had the bowl lift rams moved out towards the sides of the draught beam. The "B" series tractors also had an 8-speed transmission.
Thanks for posting.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. best wishes. Deas Plant.
Beautiful restoration!
Very nice!
wow! that thing is straight!!! his sounded completely different than this, what is powering this
Beautiful machine. Always loved the smoothness a in line CAT engine.
that's not an in line 6, its a double overhead cam V8, namely a D346.
Looking good, sometimes the old iron is the best iron
I agree we use four green TS14B scrappers, hardy ever have problems with them add the two stroke Detroit's (4-71), slow but they get the job done
@@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999 When the "Boss" says use the CAT 4140 Dozer which is from the 1960's, I am grinning from ear to ear. It has never missed a workday in its life. The D8 (2015) on the other hand seem to breakdown any day ending in Y
@@navcenter77 our two D8Ts are always getting worked on. I feel your pain
@@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999 You have the T variant nah I feel your pain thats like using a trad CAT frame with a Kubota engine
very, very cool men....super jealous!!
Yarrr for yellow iron!!!
Awesome
That could be a 50
You’ve got money to throw away! You should have restored a 623 or 633 paddlewheel, unless you have a push cat in your pocket.
They do in fact, have a push cat in their pocket. They have a DD9G being restored.
650 had that 660 used a 8 speed automatic
Такая копоть на холостых оборотах это не нормально !
