  1. Nice one and looks already modern with its tracks.

  2. Wow that is an old timer. Bod had a 1950s D5 he used it to clear the land here. Push over trees and such. I helped him put the track on too---what a job. He gave it to my daughter's husband for the ranch in Ritzville. He misses it still and that is "just because"

    1. The Cat D-5 is a most useful size tractor. It has enough power to move lots of stuff. Perhaps Bod could barrow it back from time to time when a project calls for its unique abilities?
