I would say it is all useable except maybe the seals in the track rollers. I don’t think that machine got extremely hot. I may be wrong but I think even those old Cat injection pumps had some aluminum pieces on the very back. I see no signs of any melting, aluminum melts at a lower temperature than steel. I would like to know if it still has fuel in the tank. I think those old Cats were built just like old tractors with all metallic fuel lines, no hoses. That’s why new combines and tractors turn into such an inferno when they catch fire. It’s not long before the plastic fuel line melts. Then the fire just follows the melting line pouring fuel out back to the plastic fuel tank. When that melts things get real hot real quick. Then on a combine add another 30 gal or so of hydraulic oil to fuel the fire when its tank melts. All this lights the big rubber tires or tracks on fire and we all know how those things burn. And as someone else posted it was not in a structure fire with other fuel sources to concentrate the heat. If the engine and final drives still have oil in them that is not to cooked down I would bet most all the hard parts are good. In my thinking yes the price is to high. I personally think even if someone got it for a 3rd of the asking price it still would not be worth trying to get a cable lift machine back in service from that point. If they did so I would say they have the Kitty yellow fever and it got to their brain.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
