    These are the best track loaders that CAT ever made. Mine has 14,000 hours on it and has never had a major repair. The biggest repair we’ve had was a radiator and a drive motor seal (duct work wire got wrapped up in it and busted the seal)
    I know guys who can make roads and pads look like it was done by a dozer with these things. I absolutely love the 953B..They had one of best motors CAT ever made and they’re super easy to work on. Plus, I actually like the twin sticks.

      I agree. I have only replaced a couple of hoses and the undercarriage on mine. Unfortunately I have a single stick control but have the two stick on my 963A witch I prefer. I love those loaders!

    • @fulltiltgrading8366
      @fulltiltgrading8366  2 года назад

      They are one of my favorite machines also. I ran this machine a lot for a few years and it held up really well. They like to burn a lot of fuel and the undercarriage does get expensive to replace.

      I spent a lot of time as a kid riding on my dad‘s lap as well! It taught me a lot because I got to feel what the machine was doing while he was operating it. It helped a lot when I got in the seat to know what to do and when.

Happy Father's Day and I enjoy your channel keep up the awesome work. Thank you for the time u put in to making these videos really appreciate it.

      I agree with you! We still have our 87’ 963 and that thing is a beast! They are expensive to run maybe that’s why we don’t see them as much. I still enjoy running them every chance I get!

    • @tommyw.9424
      @tommyw.9424 2 года назад +1

      I really like the old 963 model. I would say that compared to something like a 953C they are a tad underpowered for their size, but you can't beat the reliability and starting ability of the 3304 engine. Very smooth on the controls too, they have very nicely spaced 2 stick bucket levers.

  • @LLImprovement
    @LLImprovement Год назад +1

    Stout little machine you got there. My 973C is a wee bit bigger. I remember when i went to the dealership to pick it up and there was a 953 beside it. was quite the difference.

I can put 10 gallons of fuel in a mini excavator and run all day and make more money then I can with the 953. I do love that machine and that’s why I still keep it just in case there’s a time I need it.
