Mess Of The Month

Military Whoops!

In A Bad Place


My brother took this track-hoe to get out a D-6 dozer that was stuck. Well, as you can see he never made it to the dozer and just started sinking. After breaking a 111/48-inch cable on another D-6, cutting some trees to throw under the tracks, and pumping the water out of the crank case, out she came.
