I've got a D2/T2 traxcavator. My dad brought in 1952 and worked it until the early 80s when he sold it. I found it about 5 years ago brought it back and restored the old beast.

You've got to stay awake at night because you can't sleep having seen all this stuff. I've run them up to a 955 but always wanted to get hold of the BIG one on the D-8 frame. Almost got on one that size that was a Komatsu but it had a blown hydraulic line. But you never know where I'll end up Thanks, Toby! VERY good!

Way cool find, like stepping back 80 or so years a Cat dealership would have had them on the front line as new models. No hydraulics what a world it was.

Now here are loaders that I have not seen before, there's a lot of iron here for sure! I'd love to be able to see these in operation.

That would be a bugger to see around. Pretty cool how it lifts in the back of the boom also. I saw the demo video first.

Did Traxcavator have a deal with Cat to install these at the factory or were these installed at a dealer. I guess I didn't catch that if you mentioned it.

I remember reading about the Traxcavator in a book called Bulldozer that I loved as a child. This might be the first time I have seen one.

I read that book when I was 10 or 11. I loved that book. I still have it somewhere. Everytime I watch one of Squatch's D2 rebuild videos I wonder if he ever read it.

Just amazing to find all that on one show, thanks for showing them, what is the red one, or did you show that previously, is that the for-runners of the excavators?

If this show is the LeSueur Pioneer Power annual show this is just the tip of the ice berg on what was here. The last time I saw the show there was a parade of old iron over an hour long. Probably one of the finest exhibitions for quite some distance away for us local folks.

It's amazing to see the progression over the years,, there's a gentleman in Grants Pass Oregon,,, who has a complete fence line,, of these old sweetie's. I voted against them building the new bridge across the Rogue River,, I suggested that they buy the paint to paint these tractors,, the only good thing to look at in Grants Pass anyway.😁
