Melroe Rubber Tired Dozer- Todays picture shows a eight wheel dozer sitting in the weeds out in a field . Model 880 with twin engines and a total of 850 hp . Steering was similar to a skid steer locking up one side of wheels or the other . The monster blade was sitting in the grass a few feet from the old unique machine. it has the tital of world’s biggest skid steer wheel dozer. I climbed up inside it and it was a very cool view looking down at the eight large wheels and the odd shaped cab and dash . It is one of my very rare finds looking at old machinery.
Cat D-11R 1/3rd scale model progress- I got the cab wall windows now cut out and the walls attached together. Now working on the cab roof. Today I will order 7 sheets , 10 feet long and 4 feet wide of sheet metal for this project at Gaylord Machine and Fabrication here in Gaylord.
March 1st – Tomorrow is March 1st and that means only one more month of winter. We are 40 inches below normal snow and at this rate will be 80 inches below normal snowfall all winter. Only getting 90 inches of snow so far I haven’t even used my walk behind snowblower this winter.
Gaylord snowmobiling conditions are terrible with little snow on the trails .
Have a great Monday !!
