visiting my mom in Maine, taking a short cut to the store, came around a corner..and..wow..a Larc 5 ! Wasn't there last week..No one around to ask questions so requires a return visit.. some small construction equipment around..maybe used in dock/pier work locally..cool.. looks in pretty good shape..seemed to be a welded plate with the # 98 on it..Mean anything to anyone..?

"The suspension is rigid and the 18.00 x 12 ply off-road tubeless tires provide the only shock absorption"

from here:

LARC - Lighter, Amphibious, Resupply, Cargo
