Found THIS for sale while browsing the internet today...not sure if it is a current posting, and no affiliation with the seller.

Interesting to look at eh?

EQUIPMENT

Wow, nice.

Holy hole digger, Batman. That thing is located about 10 minutes from my house. Never even knew it was there. The wife would love if I brought that thing home.

May 4th, 2010.

A combination of TWO historically significant, and probably very hard to find parts for, military machines....! Restored, it would make a conversation piece at car shows, MV shows, and construction equipment events...... I have seen Bucyrus 10B's mounted like that.....

interesting truck wish it was closer if the bands arn't siezed up and everything turns free it wouldn't be bad to fix linings are availible and fairly easy to reline a drill press and rivet machine and your good to go it will take more time to fine tune the adjustment of bands than relining them a electric fuel pump would make a easy fix for the fuel pump if stock pump is unavaikable it seems there where a lot of bay city cranes used on these also. In WWII the military perfered bay city crawerler cranes over the rest as they were the only crane that could pick-up a crane of the same size they would use one crane to lift the other crane onto a ship then use the one on the ship to the one on the dock and then unload both at desination

I have to ask, since seeing this thread have you gone and looked at it? Is it still there?

Negative. Have not went to go look at it. Although, if somebody was really interested, I could run out there this weekend and see if it's really still there and how it all looks.

Looks like a halftrack hiding behind the crane?

I've seen a similar crane in my area, I just can't recall where... I need to take a photo when I spot old MVs.
