  18. Just found on Youtube these two out of a number of video's from a show of antique excavation equipment held in Pennsylvania, of all sorts dozer's, crawler loaders, graders ,shovels and in this clip a fine closed cab CCKW 353H1 , note the proper loading of the dump body, might have loaded a bit more but no need to max things as its all for show/demo of these fine old machines and use of the partition. Something went wrong... second view of the CCKW353H1 going by Something went wrong...
  19. Thanks for posting looks like it was a pretty good time until the snow got too deep . I guess having a set of chains for such an emergency to aid in getting a stuck vehicle freed would be in order for the next winter trip . Question being one set for one axle only or a set for each axle for the most traction . Not saying every vehicle has to have them ,
  20. Thanks for the update , I had visions of another great crash !
  21. Having helped restore a couple of Halftracks and had the pleasure of driving them about to different events although they are only HALF-tracked I d pick one of them as my Favorite tracked vehicle to own if the right lottey numbers and or the Stars aligned . On the plus side are they have a reasonably speed , the tracks are not too noisy ,the engine has a wonderful throaty sound , good visibility , ok gas mileage , very comfortable ride On the negative side large turning radius .
