Also used on the rangers through like 99? or somewhere about there. I dont believe they are still using it.

Back to my question and the response..... I guess it must be the way the truck was sitting then.

Its quite simple actually. Cat has the big dozers and equipment used in mines...I don't know about your area but I see a heck of a lot more Case skidsteers,Backhoes,excavoters,ect. than I do Cat. No I have not lost my mind. My dad knows more about heavy equipment than any one I know. He sells Case equipment and I have asked before who makes the best in each area and he mostly says Case. Another reason Cat sells so much is because they will do anything to sell something even if they do lose money. Case just doesn't make the big equipment. I'd put money on a Case backhoe,Skid, and a Kobelco excavator all over a Cat.
I think Airman you said you have Cat Week...well duh just like you see John Deere everywhere. Why don't you have a Case week...it all goes back to Case doesn't make the big equipement that the mines use.
