New toy

[kid #1]

My dad and uncle added a new toy to the foodplot building tools.  They can't wait to use it this spring to make new trails and shooting lanes.  It is an old army bulldozer that they bought cheap and put a new motor on.

I would like something that size at my property. Great find!

That's a sweet looking machine!

We will be fabricating a grubbing blade with teeth to remove small trees and their roots for the trail building.  We put in a new 24 hp motor because the original one was rusted tight.  Let the fun begin.

You just gotta love a piece of machinery like that.  Looks like real fun.  I can't wait to see some action pictures.

Hopefully it works as good as we think it will.  Pictures will be posted.

Clark CA1.  If I remember right it was built in 1942 and pushed out of the back of an airplane which is flying 50 feet off the ground with 9 others just like it.  The military hoped one would land upright so they could turn all the others upright.  If the records we found are correct this one was dropped in berma and used to build runways.
Blade is 4 feet wide.  tracks are 3 feet wide and it is 8 feet long.

cool story i thought you were going to say this was the one that landed upright
