The LGP configuration uses wider tracks to reduce ground pressure and improve flotation on sensitive terrain. As part of Caterpillar's crawler loader lineup, the 973 LGP combines tracked mobility with a front loader bucket for earthmoving, aggregate handling, and general construction work. It is commonly used in quarry, utility, forestry, and civil construction applications where traction, stability, and reduced surface disturbance are important. The model is recognized for its versatility in demanding off-road operating environments. ## Photos ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863876&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4Dwq24lziBC1Zdk96YYdTar) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 2](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863882&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4A4c0vQCSzieOJ%2fAbXzU1ZA) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 3](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863850&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4AaInk56V3SV%2fpWhEtBrBjT) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 4](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863858&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4CfjQCze4JIfEuC5MfAT80B) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 5](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863862&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4BqRbStn%2fbgfyRVXT1eBBSD) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 6](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863866&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4Bxkb8uE41MWNDrpI6Ga26S) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 7](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863870&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4B047Yc%2bbsdKXr5C75ZKIHu) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 8](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863892&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=r4Hgtin2r4CjUE%2bFTt3uyhxJ6pxMwKPS) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 9](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863904&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=T0kbrZ26MAcdCXaHCbnPG6J1cPUyJlsE) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 10](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863912&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=T0kbrZ26MAcga2ijtN90Oj4aI83ZCYDk) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 11](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863920&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=T0kbrZ26MAdt%2byJ0J6VyddNRflO%2f4A8Z) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 12](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863926&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=T0kbrZ26MAd8XhRX4T%2f2WxSPVmRGQmsI) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 13](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863932&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=T0kbrZ26MAepvEKBicyM7HdJ%2bbLAYp9u) ![1989 Caterpillar 973 LGP photo 14](https://media.sandhills.com/img.axd?id=3043863938&wid=0&rwl=False&p=&ext=&w=600&h=400&t=&lp=&c=True&wt=False&sz=Max&rt=0&checksum=T0kbrZ26MAfsehbuIatm%2fo7tVS5bz5H7)
