Interesting pic, but it seems there would be better ways of unloading dump trucks

I just saw this on a construction site near my house yesterday, it's an Army D7E. I think the dataplate said 1967. It was still in the service as of 1998, as evidenced by the CARC date. Hope you enjoy the pics.

I am a member of the local union of Operating Engineers here in mass and most of the machines that we learned on were gov. surplus cat d-7 dozers, cat and austin western graders, loaders , many cranes, P and H clam shells, Manitowoc 3900 hook crane with a bronze plate telling it was built for the army corp. They have an old linden tower crane which is not military but the huge gen set that runs it is. 5 ton grease truck , cucv pickup, and some old jeep that looks like a cj5, old international harverster dump in air force blue. In the shops lots of miltary training gear i.e. gray marine cut away engine many small pumps and engine cut aways . Just letting you know this stuff keeps living on and training americas work force.

You won that James? Hawthorne has something similar. Mike used it to lift up the front of my 108 so I could piggyback it home.

Here is a pic of my 1945 Caterpillar D4-5T. It has a more modern hydraulic blade, but it is OD under the yellow paint. I hope to repaint her OD in the future. Back in the 80's I wanted one of those M5A4 Stuart tanks, but they were way too expensive for me. Anyway this is probably as close as I will ever get to owning a tank.
