Hi, Folks.
How they did it back then. Does anybody know anything more about this jigger?



Just my 0.02.

Maybe we should ask Aaron aka LAOL to add some commentary. I have been following his YT page along with Matt's (Pacific Northwest Hillbilly) in my spare time.
Quite entertaining to say the least. Very unique dozer set up.

Looks to me like it was built as a loader.

Hello everyone. Thank you for posting my video!

I would definitely love to find out more about this unique implement. I did learn a few things that I spoke about in the video. You could get them with a loader bucket attachment although most folks complained that it would not lift high enough to load trucks or stockpile without walking up the pile. The attachments were interchangeable with the blade and the bucket. It is possible they had a forklift attachment as well but I assume it would suffer with the same limitations as the bucket. Some collectors have told me that the buckets are incredibly hard to find because most were discarded. It seems eventually everyone defaulted back to using them just for dozes.They were built by the local McCoy Caterpillar dealer here in Colorado which is the predecessor to the Wagner we know today.

I want to congratulate you. Your status as a collector has been elevated to HOARDER. LOL. Just kidding. Great to see someone else saving old iron. JM

You could say hoarding runs in the family. I read your comment out loud and my wife is still laughing! You made our day! 🤣
