1941 - 1947 model.....
Has LaPlant Choate blade like this:

back in the Kingdom after a week in the south enjoying fine food. yes egoman is a big fellow and made short work of the ribs at montanas steak house, lol.

i mailed the cheque today for the d6 4r. i just could notpass it up since it was from the 1940s.

old magnet, the blade has inside frame rails which will make a nice 6 way blade i hope. there was too much dirt and ruct on the serial number tags to tell me what it was. once again i'm learning which is a good sign at my age, lol.

Hey King, friend of mine had a TD-18 with an 8 foot inside mount blade. It had a U.S. Navy data plate, rigid track frames and loops on track frames so crane could load it onboard ships I guess. Strange beast, hard to operate and a rough ride.

That's kinda odd to have the push arms inside back then. Are they mounted to the track truck or the tractor frame like on the Balderson units?

R63 Trailbuilder, looks to attach to the track frames.
