I have a lot of respect for you and your crew. Between Chris, Mike and Matt you could not be associating with better honest, hard working people. Thanks for setting an example for those two boys.

Hello Clinton, Beautiful is an odd word to use describing a D7F dozer but it fits this one perfectly! Kevin is a master painter and the quality of his work and the attention to detail shows in C7C equipment projects and people should realize this machine could be 54 years old as Cat started the D7F series machines in 1969. ----Beautiful----

I've no doubt that Chris is going to put it to work right away on the pond build he's currently starting to clear and then dig and shape.
