Any ideas who made the chain driven six wheel skid steer duck?

The Fiat 130 C looks around the same sort of size as a D6 D or maybe a D5 B, have never seen one though

Dad bought a new 605 Fiat crawler for farm use that looked similar to the 655 shown, it was a real good machine for its time and never did a lot of work

Also interesting to see the drive train to get the middle set of wheels to go in the same direction as the other four, or am I missing something?

Hi Norman,
If it was gear driven there would be a problem.
With the chain drive all three sprockets will turn in the same direction.
They probably had to lift its toes to turn it in soft ground rather than skid it anyway.

Hi Fred
I looked at that but the chain looks as though it runs over the axle of the middle set of wheels which would turn them in the opposite rotation assuming its 6 wheel drive unless the top run of the chain drives the middle set some how. Can't get me head round it.
