My only point is these antiques will still be available when the electronics ones are non-repairable.

And my point is----most will be scrapped, :p. Parts where are all the parts going to come from?
Injection pumps--who's going to rebuild those. It's all thoughts of {End of Days}, when that takes
place just how many people are going to be worried about their Cat D series crawlers, none.

Other than the C15 is electronic and the Cat B model is mechanical---The C15 is by far easier
to work on. Just replacing a camshaft between the two is night and day. As much as people
want to hold on to the old-------the old is done. I know that bugs the **** out of folks but 2000
was a quarter century ago and the era of the low track crawler is a half century ago and a little
more.

One way to solve the idea---A law---being a certain person in the country likes wild laws.
Anything older than the first battery powered impact tool has to be worked on with only hand
or air tools.:):p:D

Want to run old crap then use old crap to work on it with. I don't have but one battery powered
drill:).

Only gassified wood engine fuel I've seen was a ?1932? Ford bus, had at one time been a Yellowstone tour bus. Duncan Syme, inventor of the Vermont Castings stoves built a wood gasification trailer. A sealed container was surrounded by a fire box. The wood being gasified were birch thread spools. Fueled the bus which in turn gave rides to people.
