&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Power Systems Technicians Joe Young and Tim Reneau remove a cylinder pack for inspection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A typical engine overhaul takes about a week to complete between two technicians. On a recent job that Milton CAT completed on a behemoth offshore shipping vessel, the service department was given just six days to complete four overhauls on large, 16-cylinder engines. Thanks to the hard work of technicians and service department personnel, Milton CAT got the job done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;When your well-cared for machine begins to show wear and tear, it can be easy to jump to the conclusion that you need to trade it in for a newer one. However, that isn’t your only option. By rebuilding the entire machine, or select components, you can maximize your original investment by giving your productive and trusted machine a second life.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;With the end of the year approaching, it is a good time to start planning for the next work season by considering your future equipment needs. Do you need to upgrade one of your machines or add to your fleet? If you decide to invest in a new or used machine, consult with a tax professional as your purchase may qualify for tax benefits. These benefits may also influence when you want to finalize your purchase since some tax incentives have purchase date restrictions. To help guide your investment strategy, here are some important tax benefits to keep in mind.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Maximizing the Life of Your Hydraulic Hammer Attachment</title>

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;No matter if you’re making an investment in a machine, attachment, or part, the first thing on your mind after the initial purchase is probably, “How can I get the most bang for my buck?” Getting the greatest return on your investment will take some effort, but the work will be worth it. Careful attention is required for &lt;a href="https://www.miltoncat.com/machinery-equipment/cat-attachments-work-tools"&gt;attachments&lt;/a&gt; like hydraulic hammers that work in harsh conditions because costly damage can occur quickly if the attachment isn’t maintained, operated correctly, or properly stored.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
