Great pics. you posted. Curious why they have the sides tilted in. You would think having a larger cab would be better.

Liebherr never seen in my area, I think it is German I suppose for the German tradition it must be a good earthmoving machine, I repeat never seen in my part I cannot give a judgment, John Deere some old machinery from the 60s small crawler, in my part 955, 541, 953, caterpillar 950 wheeled excavators, then the dealer fiat allis was like crawler trucks, therefore he had a monopoly on the earth moving machinery market. The Liebherr track loaders I worked on were decent machines. They were very well balanced, you didn’t have them nose diving with a bucket full in the air and headed downhill. They had Mercedes OM421 engines that were pretty good on fuel, fairly quiet, and with routine maintenance they’d run forever. However, they had their issues, particularly the final drive input shaft bearings. We’d check the end play on them every ? 2000 hours I wanna say, and it wasn’t uncommon to have to replace them at around 4000 hours. The final drives in general were a weak spot. They were a pain to work on and if those input shaft bearings failed, the entire final was likely to sustain damage. When we switched to 973 loaders, we quickly learned there was no comparison. The 973C models in particular are excellent machines.

We have a customer a long time ago with a Terex hydrostatic dozer, looked ancient to me but alas, year model unknown. UPDATE ACTUALLY they had a Euclid TC12 from the mid 1950's - NOT hydrostatic, but similar in concept - one engine and one transmission for EACH SIDE, could steer by setting left or right side throttles differently, also could steer by brake each side, or could put either side transmission in different gears WOWCurious question - were there any other hydrostatic track loaders or dozers for that matter in 1971?
