That must the Granby incident of a few years ago. The town cut up the dozer a year or so after the town was destroyed. I thought the dozer would have made a great tourist attraction. He would have been further ahead with a Deutz air cooled diesel. The rig began leaking coolant, overheated and lost power.
Amazing that a guy could build a rig like that in such a small town without anyone knowing about it.

Yep. That's the one. The guy was obviously talented to be able to build such a contraption. Sad he could not put his talent to better use.

Bonnie & Clyde's car was flat-cared from town to town for years before it finally landed in a museum. People still make money off B&C in Arcadia, LA.
