Alexander ◊ 2007-04-07 01:53	I found some reference: The blade arrangement is actually a Traxcavator-Shovel by the Trackson Company, first attached to a Caterpillar Thirty in 1937. Link to "www.oldengine.org" The crawler itself is not a D5, which has a long engine overhang, but probably a D4 or RD4.
