Default t-9 IH crawler swing crane

hello everyone, i'm known as the KING OF OBSOLETE because i make a living with 1940 style equipment. i drive a 1939 chevy truck every day and winter cat train with linn tractors and td-9 cats. 20 years ago i bought a t-9 IH crawler with a trackson swing crane mounted on it, it has usa military tags on it but it might have been used for the alaska highway or something else. can any one tell me more and check out my cat train newsletter, it features an ex miltary IH cat known as the famous black cat thanks, i love emails, it is my touch with outside world. thanks

thanks, barnaba, we make a living with 1940 style equipment, we relive the old cat train days when everything was winter freighted in to the communitys. we just did the head on this cat this summer because it cracked when i sunk it thru the ice last winter. if you would like to know more about us check out the cat train newsletter. thanks
