Used Excavator

Posts Tagged ‘cat’

The R&GVRRM is starting the excavation for the third phase of our new railroad storage siding west of the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad which will add another 150+ feet of track to the almost 400 feet of track currently installed. Before more track can be installed, the museum needs to bring the new portion down to grade, and the R&GVRRM does this work in house with its own heavy equipment. On this day, the museum’s Bucryus-Erie 20-H hydraulic excavator works along side the museum’s 1968 Cat D7E dozer which we feature in this video. Our D7E was purchased as surplus from the US Military with a bad engine in 2001. The museum replaced the 6-cylinder engine with a running take-out donated from another D7E. The museum then repainted and relettered the unit in 2002 back to its Cat yellow color from the camo it wore during its military service. This dozer has been the backbone of our heavy earthmoving equipment ever since. We hope you enjoy the video. We are always looking for new people to come out to volunteer and maintain and operate our heavy equipment. Interested? Please check out our website linked from the banner at the top of the page. Donations are also always welcome to help us keep these machines running.
