Bud Wilfore Retiring from Yancey
After 23 Years of Service
Bud Wilfore, Yancey Bros. Co.’s Chief Operating
Officer, recently advised the company’s Board of
Directors’s of his plans to retire at the end of January,
2012. Wilfore began his Caterpillar Dealer career in
1974 as a Management Trainee at Carter Machinery
Company, the Caterpillar Dealer for Virginia and
Southeastern West Virginia. He joined Yancey in 1989
as General Sales Manager. After four years, he was
promoted to Vice President. He was named chief
operating officer with responsibility for total company
operations in 2006. During his time with Yancey, Bud
led several key acquisitions including the purchase
of The Carlton Company, which expanded Yancey’s
Caterpillar territory to encompass the entire state
of Georgia, and Pioneer Machinery, resulting in
a complete line of Caterpillar and Prentice forest
products. Bud also directed the launch of the Cat
Rental Store and Building Construction Products
Division in 1999.
On his pending retirement, Wilfore commented,
“It is with both excitement and sadness that I am
announcing my decision to retire at the end of
January. It goes without saying that recent years
have been difficult on everyone. However, I believe
the worst is behind us and most importantly, I will
be leaving behind a team fully capable of handling
whatever challenges and opportunities the future
may hold. At the same time, it saddens me to know
I will be leaving behind a family of business friends,
employees and customers, who have made this such
an enjoyable and rewarding career.”
Jim Stephenson, Yancey Bros. Co. President
and CEO, reflected on his time with Bud. “In the 97
year history of Yancey Bros. Co., it would be hard to
name anyone whose contributions have been more
consequential in the growth and success of our great
company. Bud has been a great partner for me in
the leadership of Yancey Bros. Co. and though he
will surely be missed, he has well earned a long and
happy retirement. I am also glad to announce that he
will continue to serve Yancey Bros. Co. as a member
of our Board of Directors. I do believe he leaves us
with a team in place that will carry us to yet new
levels of exceptional performance.”
“Following Wilfore’s departure, Trey Googe, Vice
President, Machine Sales, will be promoted to the
position of Machine Division General Manager. He
will be joined by Eric Arnold, Engine Division Vice
President and General Manager, and Marshall Ford,
Vice President And Chief Financial Officer. These
three experienced leaders will report directly to me
and provide the direction for the entire Team Yancey
to ensure that we continue to deliver on our company
mission, ‘Serve, Solve, Succeed.’”
Marshall Ford joined Yancey Bros. Co. in
2010 as Chief Financial Officer. In addition to the
corporate finance office, his responsibilities include
Information Technology, Human Resources and
Credit departments. Prior to joining the company,
Marshall was Executive Vice-President Finance with
Sage Software, Director of Finance with Deere &
Co. and Manager, at KPMG, Atlanta. He is a CPA and
a graduate of Tulane University. Marshall, his wife,
Nancey, and their four children, reside in Atlanta.
Trey Googe has been with Yancey since 2007
and currently serves as Vice President, Machine
Sales, with responsibility for the company’s Machine
Division Sales activities, as well as Corporate
Marketing. Trey also serves as the company Strategy
Champion. Prior to his current responsibilities, he had
management responsibility for General Construction,
which included The Cat Rental Store and Caterpillar
compact machine business. He began his career
as an attorney with King and Spalding, then worked
in investment banking with Robinson-Humphrey
and Robertson Stephens focusing on mergers and
acquisitions. Trey is a native of Tifton, Ga., and
graduated from both the Terry College of Business
and law school at the University of Georgia. Trey
and his wife, Lesee, live in Atlanta with their three
children.
Eric Arnold has had responsibility for all Engine
Division businesses since joining Yancey Bros.
Co. four years ago. In addition to the traditional
Caterpillar Power Systems business, he has
responsibility for Yancey Engineered Solutions
(Generator-set packaging and testing services),
Blue Bird Bus Sales and Service, and International
Truck Sales and product support operations. Prior
to joining the company, Eric was with Caterpillar Inc.
for 16 years with field sales responsibilities in Europe.
Later, he was responsible for the North American
Perkins distribution network and was Manager for
Caterpillar’s On-Highway Truck Engine business in
the Southeast. He is a CPA and a graduate of Eastern
Illinois University. He and his wife, Melanie, have
three children and reside in Cobb County.

In 1984 Donald Evans purchased a new Caterpillar 973 from
Yancey Bros. Co. to use for loading dirt and clearing land. Thirtyseven years later that loader has passed the 80,000 hour mark and
shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Since he started his business in 1976, Donald Evans has been a
Caterpillar user beginning with his very first machine, a Caterpillar
977 Track Loader. His fleet has grown over the years to more than
40 machines used primarily for demolition and land clearing in
the Rome, Georgia area. His diligent maintenance practices have
resulted in very long lives for much of his equipment, highlighted by
his prized 973. “We have used that loader for just about everything
over the years and it just keeps on going. It’s been rebuilt four times
and I know we have replaced the undercarriage at least six times.
We’ve ordered parts for that machine that Cat had never even sold
before because they hadn’t seen one wear out,” said Donald.
As remarkable as the performance of the machine has been,
equally remarkable is the fact that one operator, Harvey Poole, has
been responsible for putting 98% of those hours on the machine.
“Harvey and that loader just came together. People would wait
on Harvey if they needed work done because he was so good at
working that machine. He could do things with it that I haven’t seen
many others do. He could do finish grading with it simply by looking
at the tracks to see if he was level. He’d run it on debris piles and

slopes that most people wouldn’t go on. It’s always been impressive
to watch him working.”
No original sheet metal remains. There are fingerprints etched
into the controls and knobs. There is nothing original on it other than
the frame. And it is out working in the northwest Georgia area as
you read this. So when you hear “Built to be Rebuilt”, there is no
better example than Donald Evans’ 973.

Caterpillar Earthmoving Machines are Designed,
Engineered and “Built to Be Rebuilt”
A Cat machine is the best investment in
productivity you can make and there is a way
to improve it – a Cat Certified or Yancey Rebuild. When most competitive models would
require replacement, Cat equipment can be
rebuilt to deliver a cost-effective “second
life.” Cat machines are “built to be rebuilt.”
Yancey offers three rebuild programs:
Cat Certified Rebuilds
The entire machine is rebuilt from the bare
frame up (including the power train).
Cat Certified Power Train Rebuilds
A complete rebuild of the power train.
Yancey Custom Rebuilds
The rebuild is customized to suit your particular needs – includes a Certified Power Train
Rebuild in addition to any other components
you choose to include.
Like New
Each rebuild offered by Yancey Bros. Co.
incorporates the very latest critical engineering updates into your machine at a fraction
“Before” and “After” shots of a D7H operated by Advanced Disposal. This tractor underwent a Yancey Custom
of the cost of buying a new machine.
Rebuild in Yancey’s Austell Machine Service Center in 2011. This custom-tailored rebuild gave Advanced
Disposal a landfill machine with a “second life” after a 9,900-hour “first life”.
Cat Certified Rebuilds undergo a thorough
evaluation, including more than 350 tests and
inspections and the automatic replacement
of approximately 7,000 parts. Upon completion of the Cat Certified Rebuild your machine will receive a new serial number from
Caterpillar that recognizes it as a “new”
machine.
Yancey Rebuilds and Certified Power
Train Rebuilds include over 200 tests and
inspections of power train components and
replacement or reconditioning of 3,000 parts.
This can eliminate small repairs on older
machines, saving you both money and downtime.
This 826G Compactor, owned and operated by the Toombs County Public Works Department, was rebuilt this
Spring in Yancey’s Statesboro Machine Service Center. Certified Power Train Rebuilds give customers “like
new” performance, an extended warranty on the power train, and a lower operating cost-per-hour than other
alternatives.
Warranty
The rebuild program doesn’t end with the
rebuild process. The value of your machine
is further increased with parts warranties
and extended power train coverage. Choose
from a 3-year/5,000 service hour option or a
3-year/6,000 service hour option. For large
mining equipment a 2-year/10,000 service
hour option is also available on rebuilt machines.
Special Financing
There has never been a better time to
rebuild your Cat equipment. Take advantage
of special financing available through Cat
Access including 0% interest on select major
components.
Contact your Yancey Product Support
Specialist or the Service Manager at your
nearest Yancey Service Center today to find
out how you can experience the benefits
from a Cat Certified, Cat Power Train, or a
Yancey Custom Rebuild.
Why You Should Choose a Caterpillar Certified
Powertrain Rebuild from Yancey
The simple facts are that before failure
repairs are predictable, while after failure
repairs are avoidable and expensive. It’s a
question of knowing and understanding the
repair indicators.
There are two types of repair indicators —
planned and problem.
Problem indicators such as metal filings
on a magnetic plug, slippage, over heating
and excessive oil consumption indicate an
impending, costly after failure repair.
Planned indicators are more difficult to see
and obey, however, they have the greatest
impact on lowering your operating costs and
avoiding the unwanted storm! They include
S.O.S. (Scheduled Oil Sampling) results,
coolant analysis results, fuel consumption
and service hours.
One option to consider when following
planned indicators is the Caterpillar® Certified
Power Train Rebuild Program.
The Caterpillar Certified Power Train
Rebuild Program offers a second power train
life for your Cat construction equipment.
The program covers the radiator, engine,
transmission, torque converter, transfer
gear box, universal joints and drive shafts,
differentials, final drives, brakes, power train
electrical switches, sensors and sending
units. All power train electronic control
modules and software and new engine wiring
harness are also covered.
The program also includes incorporating
all critical engineering updates and
improvements and restores the power train to
like new performance and productivity.
It all starts with a complete power
train inspection. Then the power train is
completely disassembled and rebuilt. A
Caterpillar Certified Powertrain Rebuild
Includes:
• Clean and inspect machine.
• Lift and block machine.
• Remove cab, tin wear, air intake system,
radiator, engine, transmission,
torque converter and transfer
gear box.
• Remove front
and rear axle
groups.
• Supply and install exchange engine,
transmission, torque and transfer gear box.
• Reseal transmission control valve and
replace solenoid valve groups.

New Articulated Trucks Feature More Powerful Engines
B-Series Articulated Trucks
Caterpillar’s new B Series Articulated
Trucks now include the 735B, offering a
36-ton payload, the 740B with its 43.5-ton
payload, and the 740B EJ with popular
ejector body, carrying a 42-ton payload. Both
configurations feature revised transmission
and traction control systems that enable
higher productivity. The new trucks also
focus on reducing driver effort and cutting
operator fatigue through improved cab
design.
Reduced exhaust emissions Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB
The three B Series trucks will be available
with Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB certified Cat®
diesel engines.
These systems produce 90% less
particulate matter (PM) and reduce nitrous
oxides (NOx) emissions by as much as 50
percent. Emissions controls include a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) to trap soot. The
necessary process of removing the soot
is called regeneration. The “on-the-go”
regeneration system allows the regeneration
to take place without operator intervention
and without sacrificing working time.
Optimized drive train
Caterpillar has further improved its sixwheel-drive system. A new, fully proportional
torque-distribution automatic traction control
(ATC) system eliminates the need for any
driver intervention to maintain maximum
traction in difficult operating conditions.
The automatic system leaves the operator
free to concentrate on driving the truck,
without having to think about how to gain the
best traction in different ground conditions.
The new proportional ATC system works
in harmony with the hydraulic steering
system—without compromise in tight turning
maneuvers.
The combination of increased engine
power, improved transmission and
proportional ATC results in improvements
in machine and operator efficiency, cutting
cycle times and boosting productivity.
Smoother gear changing and reduced
operator stress also improves overall
operator satisfaction and comfort throughout
the working shift.
Improved operator environment
The B Series trucks are designed and
built around the operator. Behind the tough
exterior, with its powerful new styling,
integrated heavy-duty bumper and fully
enclosed belly guards, the Cat truck offers
the ideal operator environment. A new
injection molded dash panel with revised
trim provides an improved fit and a more
aesthetically pleasing working environment.
The redesigned instrument cluster and
fully customizable Color Multi-Purpose
Display (CMPD) give the operator all of the
information needed. Machine monitoring
includes information as diverse as
regeneration status, fuel levels, autolube
status, load count and major component
temperatures. The CMPD also incorporates a
live feed from the rear view camera, which is
automatically engaged when reverse gear is
selected.
The heating and air-conditioning system

Caterpillar Introduces Two New Asphalt Pavers
AP1000E and AP1055E
Asphalt Pavers
Caterpillar’s new AP1000E and AP1055E
asphalt pavers are the newest additions
to the paving products machine family.
Excellent mobility, superb visibility,
powerful C7.1 or C6.6 engine with ACERT™
Technology, and comfortable operating
environment are just some of the features
that you can expect from these new asphalt
pavers.
Engine
In markets that require U.S. EPA Tier 4
Interim standards, the AP1000E and AP1055E
will feature a Cat® C7.1 engine with ACERT
Technology, while machines that are only
required to meet U.S. EPA Tier 3 standards
come equipped with the Cat C6.6 engine with
ACERT Technology. Both engines deliver 225
hp of power.
The Cat C7.1 engine utilizes the building
blocks of ACERT technology including the
Cat NOx Reduction System and Cat Clean
Emissions Module in order to comply with
Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission standards.
This innovative combination yields extremely
clean combustion and continues to deliver
steady power in all operating conditions with
outstanding fuel efficiency.
A top-mounted cooling system with high
ambient temperature capability provides
cool intake air in order to maximize fuel
efficiency and minimize emissions. Exhaust
air exits toward the hopper providing a cool
engine compartment and cleaner working
environment for the crew.
Operator Environment
Dual swing-out stations, tilting consoles
and low profile design of the cooling system
provide good forward visibility that enables
the operator to communicate effectively with
the truck driver while monitoring mix in the
hopper.
The Advisor Monitoring System located
on the left operating station provides an
interactive, text-based interface to assist
the operator. It is available in multiple
languages for today’s diverse paving
crews. The system includes fuel saving
features including engine speed control
that automatically adjusts engine rpm when
the propel lever moves to and from neutral.
An eco-mode feature also conserves fuel
by lowering the engine speed to 1650 rpm
when less demanding operating conditions
exist. The display provides project-planning
calculators, start-up checklist, engine
operating conditions, and service code
information that can also be easily accessed
for quick problem-solving capability.
Undercarriage
The highly reliable Mobil-Trac
undercarriage on the AP1055E provides
excellent flotation and limits disturbance on
soft base materials, ensuring uniform mat
thickness. The Mobil-Trac undercarriage can
be equipped with one of two belt designs.
The tread-bar design provides better traction
when grade conditions are soft, while the
smooth belt provides more contact surface
for good performance when pushing trucks
and less base disruption when turning.
Material Handling & Operations
Mobility and consistent speeds are
keys to efficient paving operations. The
Cat system is equipped with three propel/
steering modes: PAVE, TRAVEL and
MANEUVER. The PAVE mode enables
the automatics for mix delivery, while the
TRAVEL mode maximizes speed. When
operating in MANEUVER mode, the AP1055E
enables the machine to rotate within its
own footprint, while the AP1000E permits
an inside turning radius of 1.5 ft for superb
mobility in confined areas.
The material handling system is the most
advanced in the paving industry. Automated
controls and welldesigned components
reduce segregation
potential and
maximize efficiency
for higher mat quality.
The system can be
equipped with a two
sonic sensor design
or four sonic sensor
design; depending
on customer
preference. Each
of these systems
signal the augers
and conveyors to run
faster or slower when
changing paving
widths, thus keeping
the head of material
at the set level.
When paving around
obstacles the system
automatically makes
the necessary adjustments for uniform
delivery.
Cat asphalt pavers can be equipped
with the Cat Grade and Slope system. The
system is factory-integrated and removes
irregularities from the surface while
controlling mat thickness for increased
production, lower operating costs, and
higher profitability. It is entirely supported
by Caterpillar; ensuring the grade control
system and paver are setup to optimize
performance and meet job site requirements.

The new 90-metric-ton (198,000-lb) Cat®
390D L Hydraulic Excavator, which replaces
the 385C L, incorporates a refined design that
provides greater hydraulic power, stronger
structural components, added safety and
convenience features, plus improved
serviceability. The net result is a more
productive, more durable, more efficient
machine that is comfortable to operate and
can take on the toughest jobs in a range of
heavy-construction and mining applications.
Engine and hydraulics
Powering the new 390D L is the 18.1-liter
(1,104 in³) Cat C18 ACERT® diesel engine,
Tier III compliant and rated at 523 net
horsepower. The C18 features advanced
electronic control, precise fuel delivery
and refined air management for optimum
performance, fuel efficiency and emissions
control.
Design enhancements in the implement
hydraulic system allow the 390D L to deliver
significantly greater digging and lifting
forces than its 385C predecessor. Main relief
pressure in the implement circuits has been
increased to 5,080 psi, up nearly 10 percent
from that of the 385C.
This increase in operating pressure,
combined with larger-diameter hydraulic
cylinders, results in a 9 percent boost in
digging-arm and bucket breakout forces for
the general-purpose and reach front-end
configurations, and a 7 percent increase
for the mass excavation configuration. In
addition, lifting capacity over the end is
increased by 9 percent, and over-the-side
capacity is up nearly 20 percent - the
result of stronger hydraulics and a heavier
counterweight.
Also new in the implement hydraulic
circuits are electrically controlled
regeneration valves, which assure

rapid, positive response from the boom
and digging-arm cylinders, while also
significantly improving overall hydraulic
efficiency. The resulting benefits include
quicker cycle times and estimated fuel
savings of more than 2 percent.
Structures and undercarriage
An improved undercarriage for the 390D
L features redesigned links that operate
with lower stress, forged idlers for improved
durability and heavy-duty track rollers and
carrier rollers. Booms and digging arms also
are stronger, the result of thicker material
used in their fabrication and an improved
welding process.
Operator comfort and convenience
The 390D L operator station is spacious,
quiet and comfortable with commanding
visibility.
The cab is pressurized to keep out
dust, and the positive, filtered ventilation
system combines with automatic climate
control to maintain a constant, comfortable
environment. The monitor provides fullcolor graphic displays with comprehensive
machine information presented in either an
English or ISO format.
The monitor provides fluid-level
checks when the engine is started, can
list approaching service intervals and
can display real-time fuel-consumption
information numerically. Flexible power
modes - high-power or economy-power
- allow the operator to adjust machine
performance to the task. Both modes provide
the same digging forces, but the economy
mode allows the machine to work with
fuel-saving efficiency when production
requirements are less critical.
For operator comfort and efficiency,
height of the control-lever consoles is
adjustable, and the response and modulation
of the electro-hydraulic joysticks can be

Cat Develops a New High Performance Engine for
the Marine Pleasure Craft Industry
®
Caterpillar Marine Power Systems is
pleased to announce the development of the
Cat® C6.4, a new marine diesel engine platform for the pleasure craft industry. The C6.4
will provide industry-leading performance in
the power range of 335 mhp to 505 mhp with
the latest innovations in high technology, including common rail fuel injection. Designed
specifically for the pleasure craft industry,
the new engine is a compact, powerful and
user-friendly solution for customers seeking maximum performance with decreased
engine noise and reduced emissions. Featuring a 3400 rpm rated engine speed, the C6.4
is a vee-configuration, 8-cylinder, 4-stroke
engine with 98.2 mm bore and 105 mm stroke
displacing 6.4 total liters.
“We’re pleased to introduce a segmentspecific marine engine for our pleasure craft
customers,” said David Shannon, Caterpillar
Marine Power Systems Pleasure Craft Global
Sales Manager. “The new C6.4 is designed
from the ground up to be reliable with clean,
quiet operation and require less maintenance. We’ve taken extra measures to offer
a new product capable of pleasing even the
most discerning marine customer.”
The C6.4 meets current exhaust emission
regulations including U.S. EPA Tier II marine
recreational craft limitations, the EU 94/25/
EC recreational craft directive and is IMO
II compliant. The engine is also capable
of meeting future U.S. EPA Tier III marine
exhaust emissions requirements. Reduced
engine noise is achieved through innovative
design in the two-piece CGI cylinder block.
The High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel
system also provides quieter performance
through the pilot injection of fuel.
“Vessel owners will immediately notice
the quieter performance of the C6.4 due to
significant reductions in gear train and valve
noise as well as the addition of the HPCR fuel
system,” noted Tony Pattle, Marine Products
Engineering Manager.
The new engine model will be manufactured in the Wimborne Marine Power Center, located in Wimborne, United Kingdom.
Standard equipment on the C6.4 includes a
built-in oil cooler, centrifugal water pump,
self-priming sea water pump, low profile oil
pan, top access to service oil level and oil fill
locations as well as a single Cat heavy-duty
spin-on high efficiency oil filter. The engine
is equipped with an automatic fuel priming pump, 12V DC electric accessories and
a solid-mounted Cat 70-pin electric plug-in
connector for yacht control harness. The
new C6.4 is fully compatible with the Cat
Multi-Station Control System (MSCS) and
MSCS II components for shift and throttle
integration and Cat helm displays, including
the Color Marine Power Display (CMPD).
