M920, M870A1 and my newest "Steel Soldier" D8F

[reb87]

I finally got my m870A1 up and running so I could pick up my newest military vehicle a 1956 Caterpillar D8 Series F Bulldozer. The truck/trailer worked awesome. Im not sure of the weight but im pretty sure I was north of 90000 lbs. When I got the trailer the military was in the process of rebuilding and it had no wiring or brake valves/lines. It took a little sorting out to see what I needed but I got it almost done. I have a few more side marker lights to install and then it will be done. If anybody knows how to find a TM for this Cat please let me know. Ross

Dad has a pouch with his pliers screwdriver and a combo 9/16-1/2 wrench in it that he carries everywhere he goes. I carry a full size steel 1911 in a milt sparks holster every where I go. Trooper632 I meant the cat,truck,trailer was north of 90k I think my machine with blade is 50000 give or take a little.
