[AT] AC HD7 crawlers

[Mike Sloane]

That's a tough call. I blew the picture up a little, and it looks to me 
like the left hand "rail" is sitting a few inches to the right of the 
"gusset" welded to the top of the blade.  Also, playing with the 
sharpness, contrast, brightness, etc., I don't think the back of the 
rails go quite as far as any vertical elements on the tractor. This is 
all speculation, of course. Otherwise, the whole apparatus doesn't make 
a lot of sense. I suppose they could have rigged something up to 
push/slide fallen trees or other debris off to the left, but I can think 
of better arrangements to accomplish the same thing. Maybe someone can 
locate or knows "Michael Burrows from MO" to shed a little more light on 
the source of the image and the nature of the machine pictured.

By the way, there are more images of AC HG crawlers at:
<http://images.google.com/images?q=HD+7+Allis+Chalmers&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&start=20&sa=N&filter=0>
But nothing more about the Burrows machine.
