    That worked. PM sent to Mr. Haney.

    Anyone else used these or others and have some advice?

    Paul; love the signature. I have that tattooed on my support arm. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ seems to be a little more serious these days than when I had it inked!

    I have had the PP dampner and balancer for about 4 years now. Took the vibration out and stopped chewing up motor mounts along with breaking mounting brackets.

    Any reason you don't want the CAT brand damper? It was good enough for me. Find your cheapest TEPS get a price.

    That's a fair question, and I'll be happy to answer it! The new Cat dampers are made in China, using inferior parts. I would prefer to spend a little more money to get an American product that I know will hold up for a long time. Even my local Cat dealer advised me to not purchase one from them, and I sure appreciated his honesty.

    I bought mine thru Haney. I let him earn the extra change. Cost me more thru him but didnt mind because of all the info he has shared on here. And yes, its a Vibratech.

    I PMed him, but haven't heard back. Does he have a website or business number I could get from you? How much did you pay for yours, if I may inquire?

    Shouldn't they have CHINA stamped on 'em somewhere?

    Well now that I think of it, they don't have USA stamped either!
