| on a flatbed truck. I couldn't get close nuff to it to see what brand. it did have a "K" inside a diamond on the side of the radiator. and it had a wooden cab that appeared to have been factory made. no paint left on it, but appeared to be in good health yet. anyone know what it might be? |

| A "k" in a diamond would tell me that it's an old Allis. Darrel |

M's are pretty awesome looking. I think JC(WI) has at least one K. Surprised he hasn't jumped in on this thread. Darrel |

Shameless scared off another allis! Ah, was it headed away from Blair, or headed towards Blair? With a cab on it, somebody must be gettin ready for more of your 'pretty' shenanigans...  Searched the web for a K with a kab, there use to be several on google but this is about the only one I found today...  And this here is one of my K crawlers with a Baker blade on it...  ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

Creston, I have seen them with wood cabs and steel cabs... and they really do a fine job of holding the noise in. What did ye juss say? ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that." |

| That K had what was left of a cab on it, and was completely redone. Those guys have on heck of a collection of Construction equipment, which includes a lot of AC stuff, and if its restored there, it is done like that. They have an open house every year in april, with all of their equipment, and equipment that other guys haul in, and operate it moving dirt all day, it is quite a sight to see. Everything from dozers, shovels, draglines to trucks....etc....etc....etc... There is a lot there...lol |
