Cool piece of equipment, but unfortunately no for me.

 

[skyking]

No. I can look at the job tomorrow and see if the general contractor has one there. I know they have an old 980C but they may have a '66 too.
What measurement(s) are you looking for?

It's roughly the size of a house.

It's for an attachment in place of the bucket.

 

[skyking]

OK.

OK.

Wow, thanks for checking.

Tried that, not in there.

If I had one of those I would use it to clear my driveway after the storm this weekend.

I really want one or two of their remote controlled D11 bulldozers.

With some drones to relay the signal I could sit in my fortress and smooth out most of the world's problems.

Then you'll be flat, planed or level but not humpy.

Maybe...not everyone can knock it down flat...that takes a bit of practice.

I had a boss when I was an apprentice who told me, "I'm not paying extra for the roller-coaster effect. Just knock it down flat and get on with it." :biggrin:

I still can't cut grade worth a fuck...probably part of why I went into cranes...but grade stakes are just targets anyway.

I asked, they do not have any '66s there. They have some old 744 johnnies and the 980c.
I can call NC machinery and see if a salesman can look it up tomorrow. They owe me one after sending out a totally inadequate excavator. I did the guy a favor and recommended them, only to have him fail. I'm using a 135 JD, and wanted to get a new 312 with quick change out there. He could not get an 18" bucket on one so he sent out a 308. A toy.....

I don't want to put you out. If it's not an imposition, I'd appreciate it.

Note to the Mod that moved this: a Cat 966 won't fit in a garage.

 

[skyking]

If it did, the garage would never be the same

So, you need width of arm and distance between centers, and pin diameter on the main pins only?

Arm center to center and inside to inside.
L2 = center line to centerline on mounting plate.
Pin and or bolt hole diameter.
Thanks!

what are you making?

 

[olds]

what are you making?

It's something we are looking at to remove snow pack from roadways. Kind of a cross between a sheepsfoot and a grinder.

No sorry it does not but it does fit in a shop...

Interesting idea to put an attachment on one like that...? We see so little snow or ice down here (south Texas) it has been years since I have seen any...

But because we have refineries I might can find one for you...? What measurements do you need...?

 

[DaTT]

If Skyking can't get the numbers for you, I believe my contractor has a 966 on site. There is potential that I will be going in tomorrow morning, but most likely not until Monday.

have you tried a Cat dealer?

skyking has volunteered to help, thanks.

I have talked to a dealer, they are supposed to return my call but haven't for the last 6 days. They seemed suspicious of why I was asking for the info.


I may have another venue available to me but I won't know till monday.

Thanks, all.

I am on the phone wait list now. One stumbling block is serial number. The salesman I talked to said they would want one, since they do make so many revisions. Bastiges!
He gave my info to the right peeps, presumably.
