Homemade screens from worn soil screener panels?
Hi folks, I've enjoyed a lot of your posts and was wondering if anyone had tried making dozer screens from old worn-out soil screener screens? I'm the new owner of an old open Cat D5C (serial 6PJ00370). It needs new 20" pads and chains, but otherwise it's in good shape at 3800 hours. I'm going...
