40hp 146ci 4-cylinder

CR = Compact Radius = the swing of the machine never overhangs the width of the tracks = a tradeoff between stability and the ability to work in tight quarters = if the tracks will fit, the machine can operate.

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

I bet their machinery is used world wide.

Alas, that name may soon fade into history --- I recently read somewhere that unrealistic tree-hugger emission laws have caused Caterpillar to quit building their own engines.

Another engine building giant, General Electric, has quit most of their engine production; I think the only thing they produce now are marine engines.

I wish we would stop all this "environmental greenie" foolishness --- Diesel fumes and black Coal smoke never hurt anybody, if it did I would already be dead.
