Re: 639,s

The trouble with mounting the aircleaner up high is it's gotta be removed for transport and refitted.. somewhat of a hassle when working civil construation as its always jimping from job to job, the remote setup had been fitted to that machine well before the handrails and snot were fitted ;)

Re: Cat 651E elevators

Piacentini also use D4 dozer chains on their 633D & 639D scoops.. they run a fixed lower idler and a pivoting arm with roller to get the adjustment, I asked one of their leading hands how long they get outta the D4 chains compared to the standard chains, his answer was they haven't worn any out ...
