put a new engine in it and take it out

@tcbsrcs I've been told it has a bad steering clutch or final drive on one side

Great engineering dumped like a broken axe and left to waste...so damned sad!

Would make a great camp. Sometimes machinery got abandonned when the logger was behind on payments and moved it around to prevent repo or just to tick off the guy they owed money to. There is an old PACCAR style Athey tracked log arch back in the central Adirondacks that was hidden, then a state crew with a bulldozer doing trail work hooked on to drag it out but diverted to another project and went out via Cedar River Flow leaving it miles further back in.

I love it .I used to visit derelict power stations. I just love industrial entropy.

Looks like it was built on a old M5 high-speed tracked tractor. Nifty find for both an all war relic and a logging piece.

Thank you for sharing it, not much like that ever existed here in Maine that I know of. Old dozers once in a while.
