I remember those 518's well. Lots of u-joints and yes the old trusty 966's. Puts a smile on my face just thinking about that old iron. My first order for a overhaul was on a 3208 engine. Tons of parts
Loggers did, let’s not forget the old 966 C/D not mention the 518. That was some great equipment. I first started out on a 1977 518 then got promoted to the new 518, a 94u series in 84 for you parts guys lol.

Please do. I was looking over the machine. I sold many many parts for those old machines. D9h 90v, D6D's 6X,4x, D8k 77v. made up tons of hoses for those too. The oilsands started with equipment like that back in late 80's. 773's trucks were a norm on the sites. loggers loves the D6D LGP model. Fond memories

77V10419 (Build Date - 17/04/1978)

Ah yes the 77V, 78V, 62H and 96V prefixes. I’ve spent a fair bit of time working on those old girls, mostly sidebooms and sideboom conversions. Countless hours spent searching the old parts books and learning the little tricks from the old guys on them. I even picked up an old set of Mac steering clutch wrenches to make doing a set of brake bands easier
