Good morning, I was wondering through your rebuild thread and something caught my eye. In you air cleaner group of pictures, there is a pre-cleaner type setup(plastic dust collector type). That particular setup is for non-turbo engines. The parts catalog calls for a simple covered cap (AT33360) for ...

Good morning Sir, The 450C dozer with SN 313,xxx is requiring the wider straps and plate. The box is factory and original to the machine. There must be a SN break between my machines.

Al,

Good morning Al,

Glad to hear you made the trip without problems! I have only been that far West once. My Sister’s son married in Portland Oregon. Downtown was not the nicest, but outside of town was amazing.

PM sent for tray order.

Your work is flawless/spot-on. Thank you, Bruce
