Join me on the JOURNEY as we discover & bring this 1954 Caterpillar No.6 Shovel back to life. Today, we'll take a look at the basics - from checking out the overall condition of the machine to some of the diagnostics to see what it will take to get this old machine up and running.
I am looking for a GREAT name for this machine, so WHAT should we name this beast?

I recently discovered this 60+ year old Caterpillar No 6 Shovel that has been sitting for 15+ years at a farm beautifully parked under a barn! Apparently they parked it one day due to a scare with a tree they were pushing down, and it hasn't moved since!
Grandpa has honored me with the privilege of bring this old beast back to life, & then BACK TO WORK! Join me on the journey as I show you what it TRULY takes to get old machines running again without doing major harm in the process! It takes a little longer to do it this way, but it's ALWAYS worth it!

This will be a little different than normal content, because my plan is to create a new video of the progress I make on the old machine as each day passes. We'll see how this goes, but I'd love to know your thoughts on the different content style, and if you are willing to follow along!
Join me as I take you along on my journey through the many ups and downs of this project! I feel honored to be taking on this project, and I truly hope you enjoy the process and progress as we get this OLD CAT to ROAR once again.
Thanks as always for watching and following along with all my crazy adventures here on Salvage Workshop, I TRULY appreciate it!
Please enjoy! I know I did!
