85 Metric Tons

This 385B L has been one hell of a project.....
We have been working on this one well before last Christmas.
A local scrap company got it to run their MS200 shear...
Cat said it would not work and we said it would. So this is where I come into the mix.
My hydraulic divison and I have to come up with a solution to run this beast.
After many many nights of no sleep and a complete redesign of Electronics & Hydraulics
we have this baby up and running.
It's nice to see a machine like this work after months of downtime.
This is only one of many machines we have reworked...and is not the last....

The Trash Monster picking at his dinner.... You must have one big tool box for all the baseball bat sized wrenches needed to work on this bad boy!
