Hi Roger, I marked this as unread until I had time to look at it. That was a month or more back; this is great!
Bruce,
Glad you like it. I will keep on adding new material as I get it.
Roger – I like the site, great idea. If you need any information on the Michigan rubber tires dozers of the 60s and 70s, photos and specs, I have it. Used to sell them. Would be happy to write up a short article to explain the basic four different models and some history. If you’re putting something together I’ll be glad to help.
