Went back to Montgomery to Caterpillar this morning. Fortunately I didn't have to wait too long before they brought my machine back from getting repaired. Loaded a Caterpillar 826F Compactor that is going to Louisville, Kentucky. It's wheels and blade have been shipped separately. The wheels on the machine are only temporary wheels that are used only to move the machine around the plant and property. They are removed for transport.
Here is what it looks like ready to go.
By the end of next year this plant will be closed. Caterpillar is moving most of it to Little Rock, Arkansas. I'm guessing that the oppressive Illinois taxes finally got to be too much for them.
Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois for the night. Tomorrow I'll meet my escort at the Illinois / Indiana State line. He will be with me to delivery in Louisville.
