several years ago I bought a C500 and a D100 from a guy over in Blanco, Tx.
He was selling everything, and for $1000 I could have bought a Michigan 380.
This huge beast was a rubber tire dozer, with little turing radius because of the blade (13') arms that go around the 6 foot tall tires. It had a Detroit 12V92.
He told me that Zachary built them for use in diverting the Nile back in the 1960s.
The dozer was DOA, and weighed 90,000 lbs, so I passed on it.
It could have been an awesome Cedar pusher over here in the Hill Country.
