The show is in Bracebridge, Ontario,183Km (115mi) north of Toronto,started on Friday. Frank Duck and his committee did a good job of arranging the AC display for the Allis Chalmers Club of Ontario. There was a 50KM (30mi)parade. Although they were not able to participate, here is some pictures of some construction machinery(the D Grader looks like it could of been comfortable on the scenic parade). What models are these crawlers? If these pictures are too large, I apoligize. I have tried and tried to re-size, but..... . Maybe someone could resize and post. Enjoy. Ross.

Good work Ross. The crawler with the GM diesel is a HD-5 and I believe was donated to the club. The newer one is a 6G . ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| Hi. What do you think the two welded brackets, welded on the side frames just below the motor of the 'D' grader, are for? Ross. |

Ross, they may be loader brackets. I've never seen one, but Norm's books say they made a loader, and a shoulder maintainer, for the D. Would be hell to operate, looking over your shoulder, IMHO!!!

| Dave. Thank you for the note. I think that Gilbert Vust has one, with a loader, in his museum. I have seen literature with one mounted; but, the picture was not very good. Do you feel your neck is getting very stiff? LOL. Great exercise program: forward-reverse-forward-reverse--stand up-sit down-stand up-sit down--shift forward- shift backward-shift forward -- and -- and -- turn to the left- turn to the right no power steering)- work the clutch - work the brakes - and don't forget to scratch your arse. Wow, love the new rear mounted loader. Ross. |
