For Glen!

Probably a bird perch and all the crap rotted it up. lol Now thats what ya call a dead Cat!

This is on a very small island in the South Pacific. Baker Island. Had a 5500 foot runway to support P-40's and B-24's. The article I read said there was several pieces of heavy equipment. But I have only found that picture. I'm sure it was used to build the runway.

I too have never seen one so rotted away. They must have salvaged the tracks from that one.

Hey Glen,

I'll bring the Duct Tape...:tongue:

Thanks for the photo Pat in WI.
I followed the link Walt D7 3T put up and found the same photo but with better resolution.
Definitely a D7 . Probably a 7M but impossible to tell. Seems to be fitted with a Eisemann Mag and the right track can be seen layed out on the ground . Remnants of the LeTourneu Over head gear and DDPCU are visible. Air cleaner pipe can be seen next to the rusted carrier roller.
Certainly an interesting thread ,.
