OzDozer can come along and tag these.

Thoughts were Garwood blade, Bucyrus on cylinder
Predates TD9?

What a absolutely awesome thread; just found this new page.
As usually i only poke my nose in the Dozers and Forestry threads.
Great pics and great comments from honest real people; lovely scenery pics, have read the odd bit about the Palouse area in washington and the AG crawlers used there.
Pic of 2 of my dozers, me and a son on them. D6D and scoop and D4D and padfoot roller
Cheers from New Zealand boys
PS TONES you are right about wheels at Wanaka, this is a awesome show, a great visit, and alot of good videos on youtube under wheels at wanaka, been to the first 2 and am going again at easter; am like a pig in poo down there

I'm not a Red Rust guru, Cat and A/C is more my forte - but I believe that's a Wartime TD9 with a full Bucyrus-Erie blade and hydraulics setup.
The sprocket cover guard is missing off the tractor.
The B-E blades usually had a big prominent plate in the centre of the blade with their name on it, but quite often, they got cut off, or knocked off.
A similar unit in the auction sale here (below).

That scraper above was called the 3100 prototype.

The tracked scraper was used at Cat test grounds.

Controls had to be a Marvel of Mystery on that double bowl 657, could get lost in a hurry!!

Obvious had a little too much traction and not enough weight on the crawler type. Can imagine that as cruelly SLOW.

Obvious had a little too much traction and not enough weight on the crawler type.

Was only used for testing for other designs.

Spending vast amounts of dollars on wierd concepts has been the downfall of many companies throughout history but Cat apparently had deep enough pockets by the time they built those

Nice old photo of a Cat 50 or there about-finned manifold-Must have been a early Edelbrock performance
option only the 50 had. Need to check with Nige or TC.
