This is a comparison of Dan Goins' modified Classic Construction Models' brass Cat 953C (left) with the standard model as delivered on the right. Dan started with a Classic Construction Models Caterpillar 953C tracked loader and modified the model by removing the rear counterweight and adding the three tooth ripper to the rear. Additional modifications include replacing the enclosed cab with a ROPS structure. First shown in Photo Gallery 52.
