Nick 13 #1 Posted February 12, 2008 I was just sorting pictures and found a couple of this custom built crawler that was at the Paulding ohio tractor show last year. I didnt talk to the owner and the only thing I remember about the design is that it had a diesel engine. Will say it looks like a nice fabrication job to me.

Rollerman 290 #2 Posted February 12, 2008 Thats pretty cool Nick...the track assemblies look similiar to one of the older mini hoes at work. Before the rubber tracks were standard on a lot of them. I bet there are a lot of hours in that one! Couple differant things I have seen at shows are.....A few years back at Portlan a guy had 3 peices of miniture construction equipment..I do mean mineiture too? They were functional but you had to sit on top...if I recall he had a Scraper,dozer & maybe a grader. I did get pictures...but lost them on the puter somewhere. Also at Rverview last year there was a 1/4 scale cable shovel...that was neat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 13 #3 Posted February 12, 2008 Stephen, I think I saw that equipment at Portland and took pictures of it also. Like I so often do Im sure they got deleted at some point. It was some nice looking equipment though. Nick in Ohio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick 13 #5 Posted February 12, 2008 Has to be better ways but you can get a picture with windows Movie maker. I use movie maker to put videos together from my still camera mpegs. At least it comes with windows free. Nick in ohio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
