Hi, Chriscokid.
Methinks there is one of those jiggers sitting in a field on the Southern side of I 80 a bit West of Fairfield, Ca., maybe around Vallejo. Been there for a while by the look of it, along with a few other 'old-timers', all just sitting there melting away.

That one looks to be a little more fortunate. Thanks for sharing.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Qwest (phone company) has one very similar to that around Baker City Oregon that I see occasionally. I think they also rent or lease it out to OTEC (local power company) in winter. Several snowmobile clubs around this area also have snow cats to groom the trails. They are slow critters, trust me. .I've driven a few😆

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
