Komatsu 575A Super Dozer brand new being assembled
Here is the first of several pictures Larry Langford sent me yesterday of one of the Komatsu 575A Super Dozers like he he operated for many years being assembled on sight . He also spent several years on Cat D-11’s and Cat 994 Loaders. Sounds like a lot of fun in the dirt, ha,ha. There is a second picture below this one . This angle shows how the front nose of the dozer looks with out the monster blade mounted to it. This was a picture I needed to help build the model. Larry also sent many pics of to help me on the latest project. I will post more of them as I build the model.

Here is another picture Larry took of one of the new Super Dozers being assembled on sight. Without the tracks and the blade on yet, it looks much smaller. But anyone who has been around monster machines can still see it aint no baby dozer, ha,ha.

Here is a picture Lynn sent me yesterday from his recent trip to Appleton, Wis. to pick up their newest Pierce Vehicle.

Pierce just landed a contract with the U.S. Army for 51 TFFT vehicles, ( TacticalFirefighterTrucks. ) for 37 million dollars. The picture below this one shows how they will look.
One of the newest features in the modern trucks is front air bags.
The closest vehicle in the picture will be heading out to Boston, Mass.
