Nothing... NOTHING sounds like a 977...! So classic... I could have my eyes blindfolded and I KNOW that's a 977.

I operated one of these great machines back in the 70's very good for loading . Traxcavators much more use in bulk movement than the a lot of wheeled or 360 jobs .

You can see hear how the excavator has taken over from the traxcavator, the ex would sit on top of that pile being dug and the truck would back right in to him but i have to say i would much rather being listening to that 977!! really nice old piece that is being run well and by the looks of it, kept well too.

Someone put a smaller bucket on it. 4 buckets to load a tandem dump???? Beast tractor and not to bad to operate as long as the steering clutches aern't worn out.

I spent several years operating a 977k and then a 977L in the 1970's and I agree that the excavator has taken over from these very versatile machines. I used to load all day and then go and push off the tip after the dumpers had finished, so we didn't need a dozer which you would with swingers loading. Normally you would have the truck closer to the heap but it looks like this guy is limited on space. I would love to have a couple of hours on that machine for old times sake!

i remember as a kid my dad loading over 30 dumps and trailers for the logan airport expansion in boston and sitting on the side of him and hanging on! he had it set up so he hit the pile, backed up turned in an easy arc arched it ahead and the trucks were pulling in behind the pile and stopping to the left, but if you turn them, 983s 955s all dozers sharp it really destroys the bottoms on them. years later when i ran the 77 or the 983 we had he used to get pissed if i turned them sharp, but the bottoms lasted for a very long time! in the manual they say not to turn sharp. but anyways nice machine, to this day at 56 years old id rather run the traxcavators than the new junk.

The 955 and 977 are not slow , you have your choice of 1,2,3 forward and reverse.a good operator is slow and steady, 953 and 963s are just to bouncey, the steering pedals are positioned wrong, that v pattern f,r is stupid , cat screwed up their Trac loaders, and the 55 and 77 are easy to work on and will out last the 53 and 63, consider that when your making those big payments😎
