Hi Ken;
     That's one interesting piece of history there! How is the drive
arranged?
Brakes and steering? Is it a "crawler" like the old Mack chain drives? I'd
love to see it sometime, but I'm pretty far east for that. Thanks for
sharing the pictures! Best Regards; Jim Mackessy ----- Original Message
