A bit of wax.... scrap of mexican blanket on the seat....zip tie hold elec wires.... and fire hose to get the dust out....giant profit! Proof CATS run forever!
Question - I've been a earthmover enthusiast since I was a little boy. I used to go sit and just watch them grading housing developments near where I grew up. I saw some stuff then that you never see now, and I now know was really unusual. One thing that comes to mind was this compactor machine - it had the cab of a scraper, hydraulic steering like a scraper, but where the frame piece that would normally connect to the bowl would be, it continued back and down towards the ground and ended at an axle. On either side of the axle was a big, spiked dirt compactor wheel (one on either side). Underneath that central frame piece that arced down there was mounted a blade with a hydraulic ram that could raise and lower the blade. The only powered wheels were the two front pneumatic tires that were part of the scraper cab section. The machine would work with the scraper crews the way a compactor does now. I don't know if the machine was some kind of Frankenstein hybrid or what. I want to say I saw more than one of them back in the day, but not many, and not in many years. (You'd also see bulldozers with the big towed single-axle compactor attachments that are still in use today.) I was a little kid and didn't know any better (I can't remember a manufacturer name), but I've never seen one of those strange compactor units again. Have you ever seen or heard of one?
Looks like a fine machine with many years of good service . Could use a service to check for contamination and wear. perhaps some cab , seat ,a good cleaning. To me the Best part NO Pollution control CRAP , that is WORSE then USLESS. Thank You
Well it started on the key first crank, brakes are good, steering appears positive and the articulation works smoothly, I reckon the old gal is a good machine thats been serviced all of its life and looked after. With a few small fixes like the seat and maybe a splash of paint around the house its good to go and for a decent profit too I'll wager!
You should do a build with all the parts you have in the yard! Something crazy and big!! Something that does out of the ordinary things! Just an idea 🤷♂️
“Pull the black knob,”. Did you hear me screaming at you? Your channel is so much fun to ride along with you, but you need a YT camera person to assist you. Makes for editing, but can generate a smother transition for us lazy viewers! Keep the big yellow iron content coming!

Great video,thumbs 👍, really enjoying these machines, and you are acquiring them
Man you need to show Landa some love!!! She's looking a little homely.
Worked on a 966A way back in the day. Was a sweet smooth running loader, could balance a quarter on edge while the engine was running.
That's a pretty cool machine. Thanks for the video
That will make someone a great loader
Squirt some yeller paint on er, then raise price. For a 60 yr old machine that runs pretty sweet!

She runs GOOD and starts up smooth!
Did that yard used to be for the Railroad because I saw Railroad tracks in the ground when you backed up the loader at the wash bay
Now you need to pressure wash your face and sunglasses! 😊 🇨🇦
Why not power wash the engine compartment while you're looking for leaks ?
Because im looking for a water leak and if i wash the engine bay everything looks like a water leak?
Thanks , good point !
Those tires are in decent condition for it have been sitting
I do not know what you paid for it,but it seems like it works well for its age.
Someone is going to put that back to work real soon here.
Squirt some yeller paint on er, then raise price.
The 8 ball suicide knob was worth the price
Good video, room for editing down in my opinion.
Where are you located?
