BTW, Nice old machine you found there.
That was also designed for pipeline work.
The father of the Cat "side booms" as we know today.
Trackson was way ahead of there time.
After they developed the Traxcavator which was a cable operated front bucket attachment. There engineers along with Caterpillar engineers were the first to design an all Hydraulic front bucket in the early 50's for Caterpillar.
That's when Cat bought them out.
The highlift crawler we know today
