  • I spent the weekend down at the local off road park in my M35A2 M109A3 overland camper to get the park cleaned up and build new obstacles. I took my Caterpillar D47U Traxcavator down to help out with the heaviest work. After six hours moving rocks and concrete I needed to adjust the clutch in the Cat which turned out to be a very messy job.

    Great use for the M35. It allows you to make good use of it while keeping it very original.

    Great job on cleaning and painting those parts you removed thus far. I hope you continue cleaning it up and repainting it. I assume with a machine of that age that it might be lead paint, so make sure you are using the proper PPE. I notice some of the comments are calling it a dozer. Is it a Dozer or a track loader?

    • @ThisWeekWithCars
      @ThisWeekWithCars  4 года назад

      The original documentation for it just calls it a tractor.

      For those machine, whether it be a cat or john Deere or whatever, they made them all three. Tractors, track loaders and dozers.

      @2H80vids 4 года назад

      I prefer Steve's more basic version. It's an army truck, not a luxury R.V. and all the stuff in the back could be easily removed if you wanted the truck for a different job.
