On the 18th and 19th June we attended a ‘Muck-shift working weekend’ at a site near Lutterworth, organised by Paul Badger for the Caterpillar owners LINK Club. We had to re-profile a 4×4 course. The site was awkward in that the haul routes were short and the turns were tight, as we found out with our tracks trying to come off!
‘Tight fit!’ Our International TD18 and Onions Empire Scraper.

Nearly full and heading for the fill area.
Being push loaded with Paul Badger’s nicely turned out Cat D6c.
The mammoth of Traxcavators – Andy Davies’ Cat 983 in fine form.
Nicely restored Cat 75, owned by Arthur Hinch, approx mid to early 1930s.
Another big one is this Cat D9g belonging to Terry Barnsley, at the time it was Caterpillar’s biggest production machine.
