[AT] Test

[Cecil R Bearden]

I spent the day working on the 110b Cat trackhoe installing a new 
starter solenoid.  Finally got it on after about 3 hours of finding the 
right tool.  The mounting screws were Phillips and the softest thing I 
had ever encountered.  Hunted up my old Impact driver I used when I 
worked on Motorcycles.  It worked like a charm and I replaced them with 
bolts.  Luckily I keep some metric bolts handy..  It works now and I 
don't have to raise dthe hood and lay down on the counterweight to short 
the solenoid to start.

Now that the ice has melted, we have a bunch of trees that are falling 
on the fence.  Trackhoe will push them off and also break the tree off.  
The ground is soft enough that I can pull a lot of trees up from the 
roots and pile them up.  Trying to clear at least a 20 ft path next to 
the fence so we can replace it.  There must be a cedar or Hackberry or 
Bois D'arc every 6 feet in the fence row.  worked about an hour and got 
about 150 ft cleared... 15 ton machine can clear a fair sized tree.

Not an antique tractor, but an antique by Caterpillar standards.
