Thanks Allen ,i will check these out.
Buckethead ,can you remember a company name for those 666 in snowshoe?

No I never got to see them in person. I just saw pics of them. I think they were in a mine or a quarry.

Thats what they are designed for and work best at. Thats why they still make there owner money.

Did you get a McCoy version as well Randy? Thats a nice looking display there, any chance some more pics of the collection can be put up?

No I didn't get the McCoy version, I thought really hard about it. I'm saving my money for all the D9s I have on order. That and there's a few others coming up that I want.

HEF won't let us post the same pictures twice so here's a link to a page I posted on last year showing part of my collection. https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=16650&page=2

Regards, Randy

 

[Gavin84w]

Thanks for the link randy, thats a nice collection for sure.

Gotta tell you that McCoy version is really nice, i was a little iffy when announced with the green ROPS and all but i ordered it anyways and am happy with it and i don,t think the green ROPS takes away anything at all from the model.

In the late 70s & 80s i work at a strip mine that had 9- Cat 660s with 100 ton Athey belly dump beds. They all had dual rear drive tires 21-49. I dont have any pictures, i sure regret it. Thanks for the memories

I think they were all scraped, some parts were saved. They had repowered 2 with 1155 cummins engines,with right side exhaust stacks . Worked very well. I drove back to were the shop is 2 years ago and everything in side was were we left it the last day, the parts dept.is full of new parts for 660s and many other types of equipment, we keep about 15- D8H running everyday many new parts for them. You can see why corp. heads always need more money, they better at wasting it than making it. Days gone forever, they were good why it lasted. Life is still good,just wish are great country could get it going again.
