Hi all. Am new to this forum which I stumbled upon while surfing the net. I am looking for more pics like the ones below of Traxcavators and other Track Loaders circa 50s-70s in any scenario. Hope these haven't been posted before. They have just been trawled from the net. Enjoy.
PS. They are not easy to find.

Re: Traxcavators On Demolition
Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing those pictures.
You know your aging when you've operated a few of those machines in old photos.
I loved doing Demo work with a Drott,but ,compared to excavator,it's dangerous & slow.
I like the "Open Front" worksites...where anyone can walk thru & have a look.
The modern safety Nazis would be turning various shades of purple seeing that....no fencing,no red jackets & no beeping bulldozers!

Re: Traxcavators On Demolition
Thanks for the pics fellas. Whats the video Tim? Can I get a copy? There are a couple of 951s in the Dick Emery film. These pics below are from Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (with Frances Barber and Roland Gift of Fine Young Cannibals fame). About 3-4 minutes worth near end of film. Also in film are an MF track loader and an MF backhoe loader. But the 951 has the best bits.
More pics please

Re: Traxcavators On Demolition
Hello Chaps- here are details of the video you asked about-there are some colour and some b&w features,i believe it was originally made in 1968-shows Cat machines working all round the world. Tim.
