Another Cat D8H

[@ToonandBBfan]

Fantastic old machine - they dont build em like her anymore. Thanks for posting

Looks as if those might be severe duty pads. Fat grousers. The owner could/should spend a winter welding some more grouser bar onto those pads. That machine will push 100% harder. It'll take some wire or rod -- like 50-100 lbs and quite a few hours. Some fresh upholstery would be nice too. That's a dang nice machine. It will last decades more with some upkeep. Nice vid!

This is a little off topic, but when you mentioned Vancouver, BC in the distance, it made me think about Lucille Starr.(The French Song) God, could that woman sing. She's supposed to live around the Vancouver area someplace.

The old machine looks to be in good shape besides the tracks.

D8H was king of the bush for decades...

[@farmboy26ful]

Did they loosen up the idler, or did the tracks stretch out on there own.

[@clovakid]

[@skadill]

Yes but after a few fuel ups.you will have paid more than than full retail price.

[@skadill]

@clovakid nope,the owner has had this 8 for decades
