![]() ![]() ![]() If you only have weekends and want to spend it in the seat, you will want to spend a little more. I think it also depends on your budget, but it would seem wiser to spend a little more to get one in good condition and good working order, or you may have to deal with doing some hefty repair work, worn undercarriage issues like tracks coming off and the like. Helpful to know the true history on a machine when possible, so if you see a potential one get the serial #, have read that CAT dealers used to keep records, you might find the history on it. If the U/C is in decent shape, overall machine not been abused, sprockets tight on the hubs, no metal particles in the final drive housings, motor in good working order, steering clutches/brakes ok + maybe a few other things to check before buying, you will get some work out of them. I've read that the older D-6B ( early-midle 60's I think ) series was a real reliable well balanced machine attesting to Caterpillar quality years ago. Not too big in case your in semi-tight quarters, but enough power to tackle bigger jobs than you'd want to do with a 450 or D-3. Depending on the work your doing, you won't regret having an older D-6 in good working order, oldest I've ran was the D-6D series. ![]() Grey market I'm not sure about, but I'd be wary, rather just have an old CAT to keep things simple. from the past have varying reputations for reliability and can be prohibitedly expensive to repair due to parts being scarce, so I'd be careful and re-search 1st. I think both CAT & JD have good re-sale value, but CAT may have the better of the 2. Not too sure about JD, but have run a few, including the 450, seemed pretty reliable, not sure as far as working on JD's mechanically but by looking at them, don't seem too much different. Check out your local machinery dealers, trade magazines and papers, E-bay, Rock and Dirt, Machinery Trader, Equipment Trader, etc. Price? I live Downunder so I'm not much help in that department. The only other brand I think I'd suggest for your work would be Komatsu, somewhere around the same size as the D6, i.e. Service is still a bit of a question mark about them. I'm not a great fan of the grey market machines. They will do a pretty fair day's work for you too and may come a little cheaper. It might not outwork it in a day's work but which is more complicated to repair if you have to get the wrenches out of the box? If your budget will stretch to it and there are any close to you, My suggestion would be to look for a good Cat D6B, C or D or a Cat D5 of similar vintage. I'm no JD expert but I suspect that even an old 3-cylinder RD6 would out-push a JD 450. The Cat D6's have an enviable record for reliability through all their various models. How old? Your pocket book and supply and demand will determine that. I think, from what you are saying that the older D6 might be the way to go. Am I bised? yes I am I have to do all the repairs and down time cost's a lot more than just the cost of the repair. We now have a CAT d5c (what I recomend you get) and in the 4 years I have ran it (out side of the tracks that were wore out when we bought it) this year I replaced the powershift supply hose when a bolt that someone before we owned it had droped wore a hole in it. We then got a d3 and in the 10 years we ran it I put on a new starter, some track rollers, a track tightener seal, a battery, and some new hydrulic hoses, and some wear parts (cutting edges, bushings, ect.). well we have had both a JD450b and a CAT d3 and in the 4 or 5 years we had the 450 it cost about $13000+ in repairs the only thing that wasn't fixed on it was the steering clutches and tracks and you needed to tighten everything up before you used it. Re: Which Dozer : JD 450 or older Cat D6 ? in reply to Cliff, 01-02-2004 22:58:53Ĭlif you say you want a machine that won't cost a lot to maintain and repair. ![]()

Beth, too, looked more frightened talking with Roarke than she did when her life was on the line during her attack. It's unclear what Lynelle has in mind for John to surrender, but she's seen the savagery in Ellis Steele's eyes. That she considers his needs right next to those of the state says a lot about their relationship and how much she values what the family contributes to Montana.Įllis Steele might be unimpressed with a seven-generation ranch and its contributions, but Lynelle knows that without the Duttons and the Yellowstone, her state wouldn't be the same. Lynelle: To negotiate an acceptable surrender. John: And we do all this with what goal in mind? Is it best for the people in this valley? I think so. Lynelle: Is what I'm proposing best for the state? I don't know. Lynelle: I appoint Jamie interim Attorney General and Jamie appoints a person of your choosing to run the livestock commission. You agree to the solution, and we can play teenager for the remainder of the night. Lynelle: I'll give you the solution tonight and the problem tomorrow. They dance around each other with their respective positions in the valley, but Lynelle is interested in moving the heavens so that John Dutton can stay happy on earth. It's impossible not to fall under the spell of John and Lynelle, too. That could put him at odds with Monica who is eager to get back to their historical roots with a life lived under the stars and semi off the grid, but she did say she'd wait for him to make it happen and would try to be patient. I'm not as convinced as Lynelle that sprinking sugar onto her request will be the turning point for Kayce, but something tells me that once he hears the problem awaiting his family that he'll take it. John went to great lengths to keep his son from the job he will rightfully get, just as he desperately wants Kayce to step into his former role as Livestock Commssioner. Jamie has been in the office for two days, and Lynelle is already suggesting that he get promoted to interim Attorney General. Some outliers could be that Jamie jumped the gun contacting Randy when he heard from the governor and whether Hendon can adequately deliver the story, bit IS his life, so he should jump at the opportunity to save himself with all the artistry required of a seasoned actor. Vigilante justice is just.įather: Between you and me? The time will come when you need a favor. Did I just say that? Well, it's Yellowstone. Sure, it wasn't his idea, nor was it the intent that they should die, but if all three factions work together, it isn't a bad outcome. And it wasn't too much of a lie that Jamie directed the villains get payback, either. She must feel pretty shitty having been roughed up like that, and her father loves her dearly. The reality is that cowgirls are smart and tough. Randy (is he the new Sheriff?) wasn't thrilled to embrace the blame for two deaths, but when they realized the guys were outsiders, it was only a matter of convicing their victim to remain silent about what happened to her. ![]() Jamie has spent so much time covering his ass that he had a brilliant story to take the heat off of of the livestock commisioner's office. ![]() : I did that for every father that would be sacrificing their family if they did it. ![]() Jamie: I did that for every father that would be sacrificing their family if they did it.

Most national organizations recommend against routine screening of asymptomatic patients, but screening is recommended for high-risk populations. Subclinical hyperthyroidism is found in approximately 2 percent of the population. The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism is about 4 to 8.5 percent, and may be as high as 20 percent in women older than 60 years. ![]() The management of subclinical thyroid dysfunction is controversial. (1,3,8,21) Although patients with nonthyroidal illness may present with a variety of abnormalities in thyroid function tests (Fig.Subclinical thyroid dysfunction is defined as an abnormal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level (reference range: 0.45 to 4.50 μU per mL) and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels within their reference ranges. In critical illness, many abnormalities' in the pituitary-thyroid axis have been demonstrated, including attenuated TRH response, decreased TSH release, decreased level of TBG, decreased total and levels, low tissue uptake of thyroid hormones, and altered thyroid hormone metabolism. After several days of systemic illness, reduced hypothalamic stimulation leads to impaired pulsatile release of several anterior pituitary hormones and reduced stimulation of the respective target tissues. (20) Increased secretion of anterior pituitary hormones characterizes the initial neuroendocrine response to acute illness. (16)Ĭritical illness is characterized by multiple and complex metabolic, immunologic, and endocrine alterations that follow a biphasic pattern. Triiodothyronine enters the cell nucleus, binds to its nuclear receptor, and regulates transcription of thyroid hormone-responsive genes, resulting in the physiologic changes associated with thyroid hormone action. Only free, unbound (approximately 0.2% of the total ) is metabolically active. (16,18) More than 99% of and is bound to thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), -binding preal bumin (TBPA, also termed transthyretin), and albumin. In addition to peripheral deiodination, there is local deiodination of to in the pituitary gland. (16) Two peripheral enzymes deiodinate : 5'-monodeiodinase converts to its active metabolite, 3,5,3'- (16,17) whereas 5-monodeiodinase converts to reverse (3,3',5'-), a biologically inactive metabolite (Fig 1). (16) Thyroxine is nearly completely produced in the thyroid gland, and once secreted in the circulation, is peripherally deiodinated to in the liver and kidney. Thyroxine and, the main circulating thyroid hormones, exert feedback inhibition at the pituitary and hypothalamic level. Secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland is controlled by pituitary thyrotropin/thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) release, which is in turn controlled by hypothalamic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). PITUITARY-THYROIDAL AXIS DURING SYSTEMIC ILLNESS (1,15) This review Will focus on the pathogenesis, clinical significance, and management of the euthyroid sick syndrome or nonthyroidal illness syndrome. Recently, nonthyroidal illness syndrome, an alternative designation that does not presume the metabolic status of the patient, has been proposed. Based upon the conviction that patients with systemic illnesses are euthyroid, Wartofsky and Bunnan (14) in 1982 used the term euthyroid sick syndrome to describe the spectrum of thyroid abnormalities a ssociated With nonthyroidal illness. (13) Recovery from the underlying illness is accompanied by disappearance of the thyroid abnormalities. (3,4) Altered thyroid hormone levels have been reported in starvation, (5,6) acute and chronic medical illnesses, (7-9) bone marrow transplantation, (10) surgery, (11) trauma, (12) and, in fact, can be seen in any severe systemic illness. (2) As the severity of illness progresses, there is gradual development of a more complex syndrome associated with low levels of and thyroxine (. A decreased level of serum total triiodothyronine () is the most common thyroid function abnormality in patients With acute illness (1) and can be detected Within 2 hours after the onset of severe physical stress.

This is far more important to people than playing with someone who is good at the game. There's a roughly 1 in 5 chance that the person you chose to stick with is an Impostor and you'll end up being among the first to die but hey, it's a learning experience. It's also a good idea to stick with another player during the game, who will be able to vouch for you and tell others where you've been. It's not a guarantee they'll go easy on you (telling people you're new is, after all, an " imp strat") but if you have a hard time remembering places or doing tasks, other players might help you explain those things in the lobby or during meetings. It's a good idea to tell people if you're new to the game. It's possible to win or lose in Freeplay mode, but doing so will simply reset the room.
