We picked up a 1985 Cat 966D at auction and have been going through it replacing all fluids and filters and doing a re-paint. Its quite the machine, much larger than the old C model. Cat did a full rebuild on it in 2012, it has 6700 hrs on it currently. Its been a solid machine so far, we've been extremely happy with it, dont make them like this any more.
After the re-paint a crack did appear tho....
