terrific pictures ! thanks a lot for sharing ! That goes also for your other posts, mitchtim ! Congratulations

These 4100XPC are so nice, I'd give a lot to see one !
These 797' bodies are never-before seen on Caterpillar's ! They looks like those on the MT6300 at Shino mine in Australia. Does they feature that to being loaded by the LeTourneau ?

Yet more fantastic shots, and thanks for a great series of threads. Keep them coming!.

P.S I think the dirt side has taken the lead again.....

AWESOME sequence of shots!!! I really like the beefiness of the 24M, thats a lot of machine!!! The 797 with its dump raised is cool but the 854 wheeled dozer is my favorite!! Very nice, great job shooting and posting!!!
