Well I did it, I bought the military D7E, it needs some clean up and segments right away but I think I can run the tracks for a while. I never could find a clear cut weight for it so I guess I'l have to take a triple axle trailer and weigh it on the way home. I need to find a rops for it so if anybody knows of one let me know. I've got a son that will want to run it when he gets older so I just as well find one now. I'll see if I can get a pic of it.

I may know where a set of ROPS is for it in northeast Arkansas if no one else comes along that's closer

There is a used ROPS/Cabs dealer east of Superior, Wi on Highway 2. Called either Lake Superior Cabs, or Superior Cabs. I used to have a cap from them with the name but can not find it now. Might give them a shout.

I'd post a pic I took of it when I looked at it but I'm not sure how to upload a photo on this site. I'm having a problem loading my pic. It takes my little IH T-5 but not my other one.

I got it home yesterday and it weighs 47500lbs. Now I need to find a triple axle trailer. That's without a rops just a winch on the back.
