Done a bit on the 933 yesterday,refitted the mag and give the engine a good checkover. Can't run it up because there is too much washing on the lines in this good weather

Started up the 933 today,no washing out on lines
Ran well after a long lay off.Increased my "carbon footprint" by a big margin this afternoon.

Oh dear Martyn naughty you .. you will have to forgo all heating and cooking for a week to make up for your carbon footprint, else the tree hugging yoghurt knitting earps get you.

Picked up the decals for the 933 today,they have done a very good job.I am on hold now because of this very wet weather.Started doing the electrics on the machine.Only the worklights to do now.Could do with a week of dry warm weather to prep the machine for painting.I wish my garage was bigger so I can get the 933 in there

P.S I like the 933 Cat.How do you compare it to your B100 as I know you like it alot?

Hello Nicky
I have had only one complaint in many years with these machines.It was the 933's donkey engine that caused the problem.I have 10 machines in the garden but they fit in just right.I have raised many thousands of pounds for charities,so that defuses any problems.
The 933 will out push the 100,but it is a couple of ton heavier.Also I have found the BTD6 has the edge on the B100.I have used the 100 for gardening.

I really couldn't imagine the neighbours complaining, specially as it would be so easy to re-arrange their house for them

Hello Jeremy,the 933 generated a fair bit of interest at the Pontypridd event.I had a slight problem with the starting engine clutch,just needs adjusting.I have a few minor jobs to do on it and it will get the long awaited repaint.I have got all the Caterpillar decals for it.Our local decal makers has done a fantastic job on them.The donkey engine mag has been sorted and runs fine now.
I need to do some welding on the bucket.
I have been contacted by the previous owner of the 933,I may be getting a D4 dozer from him.
