Some pictures of my D-8

I like the second picture. Sure makes my D2 look small though.

Great pictures. I would love to have a dozer bigger enough to crush a cars....

There, picture #2 should work now.

here is the aftermath😄

I posted this quite awhile ago about a Cat Dozer crushing a car.Years ago when they were building Interstate 81 through northern Pa.toward NY state at this contractors site at the fuel up tanks every morning this one foreman would park his smaller car right in the way for the dozers and equipment to fuel up. Well he was warned by the operators and he went on deaf ears. This one operator told him one morning that if it was parked in the way the next day that he would run over it. Well the next day it was parked so this operator couldn,t get into the tank to fuel up so he carried out his warning and climbed right up on top that foreman,s car and even turned around on it.There wasn,t much left of it after that so at least the boss learned to listen after that I,m sure.We worked from the Cat dealer up on the job but I didn,t see the car as I wasn,t up there at that time but the picture was in a local paper where I saw it.

I always wanted to do that with a D8K, junk car or something, now see, there is a good example of the oscillating track frames, just run over a junker to demonstrate !

Andy;
Interesting pictures, somewhere around here I have some pictures of a D8 flatting a 30" steel shrimp boat that Hurricane Camile put in somebodies front yard about 1/2 mile from the Mississippi sound.
My real interest is what looks like a JD 2X bottom plow in the back ground. I have a 1955 JD 40C (98% of restoration complete) that that plow would look real good behind at the next Old time tractor club show. Is it for sale and if so how much?

Dang! The JD plow was my dads and he sold it this summer. It wasn't as good as it looked though, so don't be too dissapointed. It had been in a barn fire, and must have got awful hot. A friend of my dads traded it to him for some car parts prolly 15 years ago. Its a ground driven lift plow on steel wheels. The non-drive wheel was smushed like something fell on it and the lift gearbox was seized up good. Dad spent forever freeing up the gears. And I spent a whole day when I was about 10, scraping and painting the thing with a brush. We didn't have a tractor big enough to pull it at the time, but a friend had a John Deere A. He borrowed it and we went out to see it work. He pulled it about 100 feet, hit a rock. The big spring in the release mechinism just collapsed like a pop can and didn't spring back. lol Guess the fire took the temper out of it. 😞 It spent the rest of its time with us as a lawn decoration. I think the folks he sold it to were going to do the same with it.

Nice little JD crawler though! I'd love to have one of those or a D-2 someday. 😉
