Perfect, and right there is how you do a machine up. I bet a lot of people are asking "where is the black cab" but that is exactly it they never had one on that model.
980F are a rock solid loader, that thing will give years of dependable service.

That's a pretty impressive rebuild, looks brand new. You can see the raised section over the rear engine cover, I'm assuming that creates more space for the new muffler and other emission stuff? Thanks for sharing. Rowan.

Nice rebuilt, I like those blue tint windows. It might explain why NZG had blue tint windows on all their Cat models.

Thanks everyone, I was very happy to see this in the yard outback, a beautiful loader.
RowanH: You are right, they put new emissions reduction parts in.
Cat345bl: I always wondered why NZG had the tinted windows on the models, I guess this explains it lol.
