Retirement is a good thing for my father, he spends a lot of time in his shed. It's about a month since he started on the little dozer. Another week or so and it will be finished. Then he'll be looking for something else to do. I tried to get him into metal art and sculpture but he doesn't see art as being much use. Prefers more mechanical things.
Years ago I picked up a little dozer from a farm out at Merriwa I was carting for the scrappies and it was bound for Simms metal it looked almost complete so I dropped of to a mate of mine who was handy with machinery he got it going and used it on his property for years from memory it was a Ransome crawler not as big as your Dads one but an interesting little dozer your Dad may remember them
