955 12A Traxcavator Progress

[oldparker]

Bill, I am pretty new to this cat-mania, but you seem to me to be the kind of guy that really enjoys these old cat machines. And that is what the hobby should really be about instead of the character asasinations and petty squabbles that I have been reading. A little levity is great. I enjoy reading your posts and hope you write many more. John

Bill, you were the idle of all of here with your D2 showing and the girls, Reggie and your wife so don,t ever leave again as in my opinion this site was built around your pictures and going to the shows and the girls with the steam tractors.Hope the 955 12A works out well and you have as much fun with it as you,ve had with the D2 over the years.Cleveland Bros. Cat dealer has a used parts store so contact the branch there near you and get their Ph. number for the store as they may have any parts you need.I ran their engine rebuilding dept. here at the Wilkes Barre Branch for 35 of the 36 years I worked for them.A couple years ago CBE bought out Beckwith Machinery Cat dealer in the western part of Pa. so now they have about 28 dealer branches.When I started with them in 1956 the brothers owned the Co. but now the grandsons run the buiness after being handed down from the son and son in law.
