Hi, i am led to believe that a very early Liebherr dragline ran a CAT V8 a VN800, not too sure if that model is correct. Has anyone got any photos or details ?

Cheers John :rockon:

Hi, got the wrong end of the stick, the machine in question i think is a Lima, someone i have recently met is rebuilding an early CAT V8 which he thinks was removed from a Lima before it was cut up. I am guessing it is probably a 2400? Any good pictures of machine/engine.

Cheers John :rockon:

Russell Saywell has installed a Cat V8 in a D7 - there is a clip on YouTube. Said to have come from a navvy.
