My machine im restoring

This is my Cat D2  5U with a 2A dozer and #44 hydraulic unit. Shes got 48hp 

D311, 4x5-4cyl diesel. she also a 50gauge. got the pony motor starter free and waiting on new copper gas line then she should be good to run again. Then ill send her to be sand blasted and painted.

this is the Cat 245D ME. this first machine i ever oprated and trained on years ago. it has 325hp, a 3 to 4 to 5 yard bucket, wieghs 129k to 140k depending on model. the the motor was a 3406. i say the 200 serice machines were the best ever and set the way for cat in th 70s to mid 90s.  the are still good brutes and can keep up w the new machines very well. im my personal appion i rather have the old girls or iron then new excavators.
