Hello All,

I am new to S.S. and have been lurking for a couple of weeks trying to get my bearings. I am also new to the world of MV's, I acquired an old Bulldozer from the USMC and went to a shop across the street from my office that sells military equipment to ask questions and look for parts for the dozer. I walked out with no information or parts. I did however leave the proud owner of a 1968 Kaiser M35a2c. Now how did that happen? Well, I'm proud to have joined the ranks of proud owners and keepers of these historic machines.

Gotta have pictures or else the photo nazis will be after you. Don't forget the dozer pics also.

Glad to have you aboard.

Howdy, I would like a military eq. place across from my office.

welcome to the site!

we are all picture hounds here

Thank ya'll for the responses. I have added pics of the MRS I-100 dozer but have not taken any of the Deuce yet. I will do so this next week. The pics of the dozer were taken before I brought it home. The long task of restoring it has begun. Thanks again.

First I would like to say welcome! Next, I would like to ask what motor is in that thing? 4-53 D.D.?

I am not sure what motor is in it; it is indeed a DD. I have Googled it trying to find more information but have been unsuccessful. I’ve found information on the MRS 105 (civilian) and the company, but not the I-100. I am going to start pressure washing it today and will be able to get the numbers off the motor.

Looks like a 4-71. Didn't those pull a scraper originally like the Clark 290M?

 

[Astarr]

They did indeed pull a scraper. It is similar to the Clark; however the Clark is an articulating tractor and the MRS has 4 wheel steering.
