Project equipment , IF you want to strip them down to the running gears of a katydid and start from bare castings and built from there , wiring and electronics would be questionable . Back in the eightys while getting and education working in the OIL PATCH i sent a new socalled by his own words the best Cat skinner around out to reclaim a drilling location that had a huge blow pit and i said YOU DO KNOW HOW TO SQUEEZE a pit don't you and i get OH YEA DONE PROBABLY over a 100 of them . Sent him out with a brand new 850 Deere that had less then thirty hours on it and i get a call on the radio not fifteen min. after the low boy driver called me to let me know he was headed to the next move he had that this best Socalled Cat skinner was STUCK . Ok it was not uncommon to get STUCK , i had one low boy setting and one 750 Deere in the yard and NO driver and no operator so this meant i was going to get dirty . Loaded up and went to the location and was unloading when my boss showed up so he and i went back in to the location and at first we did not see the 850 or the operator as he had left to go get lunch ( the local WATERING HOLE ) as we are looking around he shows up and when asked where the 850 was stuck he points to the blow pit and all you could see was about three feet of the top of the rops the vary top of the air cleaner and the top few inches of the exhaust pipe . Atleast he did shut it off . So the fun began , getting the winch cable fifteen feet out to it we needed a BOAT then to get it hooked to the drum on the winch of the 850 was not going to work as he backed in so we had to hook to one side of the blade and he put the blade down in float First try ended in a broken winch line . We needed one more dozer , the boss went down the road and got another companys D 6 D to come up and lend a hand and with two of uws pulling we both broke winch line again we had to go get snatch blocks and this took time all in all the 7850 was under nasty water for close to 8 hours and once up on dry land i had our mechanics out there draining and flushing everything . loaded it up and hauled it back to the dealer to be taken apart down to the frame and have new Hyd. pumps and motors replaced a new engine installed , transfer box totally rebuilt and final drives rebuilt hyd. tanks cleaned out and set back to us only to have nothing but problems with that dozer from then on .
