Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from O Sharing pictures from our archives- this is from October 2023's issue- the profile on the D342 powered Caterpillar D8s⁣
⁣
 Caption: Lovely photo of a British-built Caterpillar D8K-66V series machine about to be delivered to the Walton Hill Landfill in Cheltenham. Even as late as the early 1980s, it was still possible to order a new Cat tractor with the ever reliable No.25 rear PCU. Note the lack of cab, ROPS and the horizontal placement of the muffler⁣

Caption: From a Caterpillar promotional brochure, a Caterpillar D8H-36A series machine equipped with an 8S blade and No.25 rear mounted PCU. Note that on the later cable-controlled versions of the D8H, the tube carrying the cable from rear to front went under the operator’s deck rather than on top of it. ⁣

 Caption: Feast and McJorrow working hard in the Wharerata Hills in the mid-1960s. Note the early Caterpillar D8H-46A with a hydraulic 8S blade and No.8 ripper, Euclid TC-12 and two Euclid TS-24s. Feast and McJorrow were a class act in their day and did not shy away from big machinery to get the job done⁣

 Caption: New Zealand-based Caterpillar D8H-46A series of the Ministry of Works on a hydro project “somewhere in NZ”. This tractor is equipped with a cable-operated 8S blade and No.8 rear radial arc ripper. The PCU for the blade was a No.24, mounted on the front of the tractor.⁣
This is an early 235hp machine as evidenced by the smaller diameter exhaust pipe. ⁣

 Caption: Awaiting its next mission, this is a USA-based D8-14A, equipped with an 8S straight blade and a No.25 cable control on the rear. The tube, which carries the cable from the PCU to the front of the tractor, can be clearly seen along the top of the decking.⁣

 Caption: Caterpillar D8-15A in full push tractor garb with a No.25 cable control on the rear. The extra filter cannister for the torque converter can be clearly seen next to the three oil filters. This machine was being used by Taylor and Culley to push scrapers. There is lots of room on the deck of these old tractors! ⁣
