I'm not using the Mill for the next 3 days, so I dropped it off at the Kennel with the rest of the cats.

;D

What are we getting done ? I'm thinking,bigger turbo,larger nozzles,a little pump tweaking,advance the timing just a bit and BAM 20 more horse power.Off to the next shoot out.

Milton CAT in NY wouldn't warranty my Perkapiller. It was a battle, but I got it fixed under warranty. I'm told that had something to do with CAT getting replaced with Yanmar on WM mills. Doesn't bother me a bit. I'd rather have Kubota, but there's nothing at all wrong with a Yanmar.

When you get up to 1500 +/-- Hours you reset the valve slap says the Cat Book.
Well, I went past that a little :D :D

The men will look at that , check the timing. And all the High and Low RPM setting.

They did mine when I first got the supper, But nothing happen to the cat in that time. And it runs good now.
I don't have the tools or the know how to do all that.

:D Them boys at Cat will be able to take good care of her. If I were you I'd ask them to turn the pump up a bit get some more ponies outta her. I know how you like to saw faster than Mario Andretti :D

Do I see a tandem seating arraignment on that mill? Which seat is for the pilot, and which one for the co-pilot?

Or maybe you just have REALLY LONG arms? ;D

Have them put one of those Dozer engines in your mill! That would get the mill smoking.

There is a parking position at that location.

The seat is disconnected from the sawhead and it has a spring-loaded pin that snaps into a hole in the side of the main beam and the sawhead rests in the normal travel position.

He runs the controls with his feet, it's a hoot to watch!

The cat is back in the barn and runs like a top, Guy said the valves needed just a little to be in spec.
The RPMs Idle at 1250 and high Idle of 3025
It was almost time to change the oil, so I had them do that and fuel filter too.
$400.00 Not bad. 8) 8)
