    Drum from the final drive on my diesel-conversion Sixty. Note the wear from the brake bands. Obviously, this was found on the junk pile, having been replaced.

    A comparison of the master clutch yoke as removed from my diesel-conversion Sixty and the new part as offered by Jim.

    A little Bobcat operated by Jim's sons when the occasion arises.

    George,

    Thanks for the photos. Is the guy pulling parts from the D69U Laverne?
    The gas Fifty looks very restorable.

    No, Lavern was indoors welding. It was one of the young men that Jim has hired to help. GWH

    George,

    Great shots!

    You probably can't wait for that Diesel SIXTY can you?

    That little grader sure has a wide moldboard!

    Jim sure has come a long way as far as reproducing parts in the 10 years I've dealt with him. That's quite the gas tank. Looks like authentic rivets and all!

    Thanks for sharing. Wish I could get up there to see his place.

    D23J - which 60 are you referring to? If to my diesel-conversion, it has an 8800 diesel engine in it, which is what Caterpillar made up in a kit for the purpose circa 1935. I think they were developed originally for the Diesel Fifty, which then became the RD7. GWH
