I too am the owner of a "non' Cat6480. It has been on a hoist since July
5th, and I think, maybe, I hope to have "it" back on Friday, PLEASE then
maybe I can find someone to help me with the pictures ...... etal ... and
I'll get "it"" on the list. Only a few weeks left to drive "it" up here in
Calgary, then I'll mess with "it" all winter.    Bill Moore.

I am one of the "non-registered" ones.  I do not know how to send the
pictures - sigh!-------------------Also, I hope that whoever finds a "barn
find" either buys it, or passes the information on so that someone who cares
can buy it and get it on the road to...to...what is the word I am searching
for here?       -----Bill
