Thanks to a new member, Vincenzo Rajkovich, I was put in touch with a representative from Altorfer Cat. We did some brain storming and came up with a plan to do some Caterpillar motor training at the Mokena Altorfer facility. The training will consists of common failures, Caterpillar emissions, and repair tips and tricks. This class will be put on by a Second Level Dealer Coordinator, basically the guy that fixes what the other guys can't.
The date of this class will be on June 9th in Mokena and start at 0900. If you want to attend, please sign up on the sign up sheet so we have an accurate count for lunch.
