In transit to somewhere perhaps?..........boys thought they'd take it for a bit of a spin & put it back

Hi Nick,The tractor appears to have just undergone a paint job and some repair work so it's common to remove blade and cab for access to various compartments on big dozers.It's actually a D9H.Here is a pic of a D8 in the yard this week with the blade and cab removed for easy access around the winch.The blade is off as the workshop doors aren't wide enough.
It takes about 15 mins to remove a dozer blade if you are geared up.
