I bought myself a 953b today I know its a cat but I just wanted to tell someone as I am just excited, it came from my place of work so I know it a good one, or atleast taken care of, it has right at 9000 hours but all in really good shape as well as multi shank rippers on it, had to give 15500 but I have been looking for a while and its only 20 miles from home, the only one I have found close to the price, and close to home was over 13000 and had 24000 hours on it with lots of problems, No pics as of now but hopefully will have it home within a week and then I will get you some, no cab but it has rops and heat, do you think i got hurt????

If you operated the machine for a for some time and everything worked it sounds good to me.

We have several of the cat 943-53-63s or used to have, so I am sure I have operated it in the past, and this came from the job I am on now, where they ran it 8-12 hours a day, they are selling alot of the equipment ( a few of us think they they are about to call it quits with this division, the construction side anyway) and have been for a while, as well as I talked to the equipment manager (went to HS with him and we are still buddys) and there was nothing wrong with it, it was just slated for the block like lots of other stuff lately,
