#250 - Trac Shovel - 1972
|
The first version Trac Shovel shown above was produced in 1972. A second version is shown in the
1973 catalog as being dark orange with yellow wheels. And, a third version is shown in the 1974 and
1975 catalogs as being a bright yellow! Were all these colors produced? I don't know.
Notice the extensive use of plastic. Gone are the
cast control wheels of yesterday.
The wide stance eliminated the need for
outriggers.
Although the wheels are much smaller, could this
be the same tread as used on the #4200 dozers?
Some assembly required!
#460 - Dump Truck - 1974-76
|
Although a bit similar to the #200 Husky Dump, the #460 Dump Truck featured a full-width cab. It also
featured those nifty white-lettered tires! How modern can you get?
