Excavators sent those track loaders to the dustbin by the thousands. Remember shaking my head watching old-time contractors still using them in the 80s - those clowns either went BK or ended up buying excavators a few years later.
Dad ran a 977 digging basements, roadwork.... thought back then it was the biggest! He referred to it as a bull cat. How does this machine compare to a 977?
983......listen to her!!!

vintage equipment brought back to life a beast

Hmmm it's powered by Caterpillar D343 engine having 5.4 inch cylinder bore and 6.5 inch stroke DOHC dual overhead cam engine 😉🇵🇰😎🇱🇷

Hmm vintage Z style bucket linkage as like as on earlier 950 and 966 wheel loaders 👌🇵🇰😎
We have 2 of these at the company I work for. Not many good things I can say about them. Big,slow,awkward and very heavy.
This is a loader and not a bulldozer because of the bucket and where the arms are right?
Hell it aint a sports car
i cant belive it theres a carnival at the construction site!!!
Wow very cool
Awesome !👌🏽👍🏼
i like buy one of this 983
Where can I find diagrams to build model?
Bellissima pala meccanica , 983 unica
Does this trackloader belong to a derailment cleanup / heavy recovery company? Think it's rj corman that uses similarly beefed up cats for derailments
I believe they run a 977L Winch Track Loader !!!!!
