We were lucky to have this OLD Cat skinner to show up spend couple days at the shop showing us how to repair diesels and opperate the big iron

Hello Willie, You and all the rest of the guys know that's alot of BS. LOL. I had a ton of fun watching and Cranking those ponys till my hands hurt. What more could a guy want than being around a great group of individuals such as Glenn, Ellis, Irvin, Jess and all the other guys whose names I forget. Oh, you too Willie Ha! Ha! Thanks also for the great lunch to whoever put it together. Really enjoyed taking Jess's D8 for a spin. It sure is different sitting in the seat of a D8 as compared to a D2. Hope everyone made it home safe and sound. It was 2 days that I will remember for a long time. Joe Giraud:D

Willie: Great pic of the ole D8, sure is nice! A question though if you don't mind. I noticed in the picture there are two large air intake structures plumbed together above the hood. It looks like they are connected to air side of things. Is this something you invented, to better clean the air side of things or was that stock option for this machine?? Are the both air filters or is there an oil bath air cleaner lurking?

DozerMan51,

You are on my "A" Team. You sure know how to do some mean ass crankin' You guys would be proud of this guy. He never gave up. We would file points, or get fuel a runnin' but StarterMan51,(a new handle I just gave him) wouldn't give up. He poped 'em off;)

They are just 2 dry filter eliments that were on the tractor when Wallace ranch bought many years ago The Jesse aquired it and restored it and left the canisters on it because that was the way it was when it was deliverd to the ranch when he was a young guy of course that was many years ago LOL
