CAT- Dig It said: (quoted from post at 14:14:20 09/17/09) One of my instructors at school thinks I should join Local 181 here in Ohio. A union for equipment operators, in case you didn't know. Because I am young and its good security once you get through the first four years.Never really known anything about them. Instructor says I'm not bad on the equipment for a newbie. Anyone dealt with them or have any ideas. Advice would be appreciated. By the way I'm going to school for heavy equipment and site construction.

All the guys appreciated this...we'd seen some of the 'cat drivers' that looked to have been sent from a tavern.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
