I sent the photos and info to Bob's old email hoping he still reads it even though he may not be able to reply. I have never gotten a reply from the email addy's on the website..

The economy must be improving or something though, because last year this time you could find 7 year old 385 cat excavators, on the internet for under 200 grand, until the cows came home, and now the same machines have asking prices of $350,000 to a half million bucks..

And yes Kubi..  be my guest as far as letting her know. We know the mechanics at the mine can rebuild stuff if needed, and a 988 is twice the size of the Terex wheel loader they picked up last year, and at maybe 7% the price if nobody else spots or needs one that big at the auction. I'l go back in a few minutes and make sure it is still listed and wasn't an editor mistake..

GO CWRN!!
