![]() You are comparing a 1976 tractor with one made in between 1955 to 1960. When it happens just take that to a machine shop and have them fix it. I had a shaft that was damaged and went to a machine shop and had it fixed for a fraction of the price that it would cost for CAT. Now I have never had a nut cross threaded to date. For a long time they produced the world's largest dozer. They were the first with fully lift out on the steering brakes.ĪC was the first to succesfully produce a production machine with over 500HP. AC was the first with Unit construction which made it very simple to work on the drive train with out full disassembly. You forgot to mention the fact that AC was the first to produce permanenatly sealed rollers ect. If we compare tractor to tractor when it was built, the AC had many innovations. I compared close to same generation of machine. Just as bad as my AC except that roller shells could still be bought. I almost made a mistake of owning that machine. Take the 933F and try to find a truck frame or the pinion shaft-which was a major failure point on those machines. No fun to rant and rave in an all CAT world.ĬAT is not so hot on parts availablity either. Remember this board is for a wide variety of machines and individuals having crawlers. He would not trade it for any CAT of that era. A good freind of mine has run CAT for 30 years and almost every CAT made and a wide variety of AC and IH equipment over those thirty years. So I guess your CAT's longivity is not that high. I do not see a whole lot of CATs that age running around and in production use. My father-in-laws 1947 TD9 beats that by 29 years and we still use it. I know in Idaho where there is an HD9 still in active use in a quarry. I now have a full new UC under it and it is almost ready to go. Beats it by 15 years or more and it is still running. ![]() Your qestion is so vauge that any discourse on this subject matter is or can be factually correct.
