1979 Cat 950 Restoration was created by Dieselholic92
I can't remember if I have posted this loader on the forum or not. Today we are finally starting the restoration. Long story short, my grandpa bought this loader brand new in 1979 when he started our business. It has had one repaint, one engine rebuild at 24,000 hours, and has 18,143 hours since then. As far as I know the rest of the drive train has not been touched. I want the loader to be finished in time for its 50th birthday, and the company's 50th anniversary. Here it is after I gave it an initial steam clean. The plan is to start disassembling and start sending stuff off for repair. I have started gathering some parts, but I am still on the look out for a bunch more.
