History:
The first production 988 articulated-steering wheel loader rolled off the line in 1963.
The 5 cubic yard loader was powered by a six-cylinder Cat^® D343 diesel.
Initially, it was rated at 300 flywheel-horsepower,
but this increased to 325 flywheel-horsepower in 1968.
 At this time, rock bucket capacity also grew to 6 cubic yards.
 In May 1963, the introduction of the 988 Large Wheel Loader
was highlighted in the local Caterpillar newspaper Cat Folks^®.
When the 988 first rolled off the Building LL assembly line,
 it was the fourth model in Caterpillar’s line of wheel-type loaders.
 It was powered by a 300 horsepower Cat diesel engine
and had a three-speed power shift transmission.
