new toy

[Moulding]

We just got a new toy to play with ,a cat 40 scraper . It needs some little things fixed on it but is in very good shape ! Any one have any leads on where to find some of the diamond pattern tires that were factory .I think it's got 20in wheels .

They are hard to find. Call Ed Akins he bought some last year for his. I put modern tires on mine. There aren't original, but haul dirt good.-glenIelmorini's 012.jpgIelmorini's 013.jpg

Try Wallace Wade in Texas for your tires. He has a lot of unusual stuff.

Check what you have...they started with 11.00 x 20 and later switched to 12.00 x 21.

Moulding, they really are a nice toy. Here's mine being pulled by green equipment. Unfortunately the old worn La Plant rear mount pump on my D4 6U doesn't seem to work its hydraulics so well but works the LaPlant Choate C44 scraper ok.
