I saw this in my many travels across the US. If this guy or girl is not a member they need to be. This is on I 70 west about 70 miles from Saint Louis MO. Thought some of you may enjoy looking. I all most ran off the road when I saw it. I also stoped at Ritchie Bros I have a list of people that haul Cats Ill have to scan it and post it when I get back home. Man It is great to live in the USA !!!! I wonder how many cats it took to build the ARCH in Saint Louis ? Anyone have any pictures of that ?

Hi, MichaelHoward.
As Bob said, the jigger in your photo is a cable plow - - - - fitted to what appears to be an Aliis Chalmers HD16 crawler. I would not be surprised if the ripper was also steerable. Many of them were.

No, I have no idea how many Cats were involved in the making of the arch in St Louis, nor do I have any photos of the making of said arch. It might be interesting to see some photos of it though, if anybody has any.

Thanks for sharing.

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