Caterpillar’s Most Versatile Piece of Equipment the 988

Bit of a change around here. We’re in the classic iron business. Today we’re moving a LeTourneau Westinghouse C-Pull scraper around in preparation to scrap it. Let us know if you’re into the classic stuff.

When Cat made unstoppable machinery. It's a tuff sum of batch, no doubt! 👍🍻

I love the old cat loaders the best ever

Alex is back 😂 They're not scrapping the old Northwest and the bucket shovel beside it those are keepers, the old 988 has a bit of a miss to her, good old loader, todays loader operators wouldn't be able to operate the old 988.

The 88 has some issues that will get fixed this winter with the help of @jpaydirt the Northwests run and aren't going anywhere.

I've been following HCHS on Insta for a couple months now, and it put a big smile on my face when the Henuset Polar Bear trencher appeared in the background at 0:09. Is there any chance you might do a partial walkaround or just feature some footage of some of the more exotic pieces out there; like the RoadRunner(?) muskeg dozer or the Cat 245 straddle excavator? Kinda like your old videos on the S18G and the D57T?

[@vantagetes]

Consider it done.

I prefer the 988B with the 3408 V8.

Houuu that voice haha smells like burnout😉

[@Jpaydirt]

988 needs spark plugs

[@Digginok]

Condenser and a set of points? 😂

Cuantos caballos de fuerza tiene ese motor de esa 988A

Kinetic rope is MUCH SAFER than chain.

[@vantagetes]

Absolutely it is. Unfortunately we are a poor museum and haven't got one.
