Thanks for the memories Diecast Logger!!
Seeing that old D9 brings back the memories of the smell of the grease, oil and fuel. These old girls always had a memorable smell to them something like asphalt to a paving guy!!!

Nice pictures, Diecast. It's nice to see smoe older Cat machines that still bear the C-logo and that has not been screwed up with newer stickers. It apprear than the cab on the D9 use to be on a Fiat-Allis or Terex dozer, just by the look of it. Max.
Cat 245.....Now and Forever  I am looking for industrial auction brochures from Ritchie Bros, Miller & Miller, Forke Bros, First Team Auction, Max Rouse, etc from the 70's, 80's and 90's.I am a collector and heavy equipment enthusiast and these pamphlets are loaded with nice pictures of cleaned and freshly painted equipment.Thet don't have much value once the sale is over but they are a great help to me in preserving the memory of machines that are no longer being built.Please, help my hobby by looking in your old storage boxes and file folders for these old auction sale brochures.Your help is much appreciated.

Cat Custom products badge is a pretty vague meaning. From what I've seen, it simply means that something was ordered from Cat with a specific request, like a 6-way blade on a 6r or MS ripper, etc etc...
The two companies on the job sound like one is clearing and the other might be starting the E&S work and be part of the dirt contractor. Nice pics, thanks for sharing... though the last 6 don't show up for me.
regards, Jim

One is this site and another at a road job one land clearing the other grading. There is one company on this site.

Love the E35 pictures, and I'm glad you got to run it! Those are nice guys, and that's a nice machine! Actually, a few weeks before that I got to run an E42 that we rented to re-do my buddy's GF's front yard. I've pulled levers before, but that was my first time really "running" a machine on a job. What a ball!! Those new E series Bobcats are AWESOME. Everyone I've heard whose run them says Bobcat really got that series right. I couldn't believe what we did in a weekend with an E42 and an old Tak.  Awesome close-ups of that Grove boom!

Awesome close-ups of that Grove boom! , Thanks. The people who came and did the lines are family friends who work in the house building industry. It is amazing how good a picture you can get when at a stoplight, any idea what the boom belongs too?

Doesn't look quite big enough to be a 7550. I'd say something in the GMK5220/5175 range? Someone who works with them every day might be able to tell from details if its newer (say a 6300) or older machine. Now, if it was an old Manitowoc, that'd be another story
