Nice looking old 528 Cat with a few "extras" on it! I think the owner had a little too much of a spring break-up a while ago :cool2

i think the slip tank is smart. go days before you need a fuel truck near you. or possibly the tank in the dozer got rusted or something so they use it as a main tank. who knows?

That 528 was used to maintain haul roads.The back blade was used as a drag and the front 6-way blade mostly was used to plow snow.The guy that owns that knew more about keeping his roads in shape than anyone I've seen.Many times he was the only contractor around able to haul during wet spells.
