Nice pic! DW-21s are not something you see every day.

Yes mag6000 I agree with Buckethead, it isn't every day you get to see one of these old darlings in such good nick. Wish it was parked in my back yard.

Frank, I think that 3 axle in Phil's pics is a DW20....the only other Cat 3 axle with a cable bowl would have been a 630A. I don't think a 660 would fit in the barn!
3 D9's pushing a DW21..I sure hope the bowl lift cable never broke!
Cool pics, thanks for sharing.

Judging from the b&w photos I would say a dam site - possibly mangatangi.
Cartoon charachters on NZ earthmoving gear was comm in the 1960s - both Green & McCahill and Earthmovers Waikato used to mark their machines this way.
The G&McCahill DW10 is a fairly rare (for NZ) twin stack 21C series - only three of this particular series were imported.
The color shots are interesting - whose line-up of DW21's Macolm ?
Roadways ?
