I bought this 1947 Cleveland Trencher from a peanut farmer in SW Georgia about 3yrs ago. Since then, it has sat...and sat..
SS Member 1943halftrack knows a retired Marine LTC that does alot with the USMC Museum at Camp Pendleton, CA. so we all started plotting on how we could get the trencher out there. I donated it.
Well...tomorrow we will move the trencher out to the airfield on Ft. Benning, GA. where it will be secured to pallets and prepped for transport...by a C17 around Mar 26!
If anyone is interested in this story, I can update with pics as it progresses. Todays pics are just getting her steam cleaned and checked for leaks etc...none were found
Hope to be there when they load her on the bird...er...unless it's in the middle of the night
