Churchill
Maybe. I have some pics from Ron Fry of a pair of Churchills used for scrub clearing back in the 50s and 60s. One of them had a 17 pounder barrel as a tree pusher. Apparently it would bend then spring back as the tree gave way.
The second Churchill had a dozer blade and there are pics showing it dam building. The tanks reportedly took a lot of maintenance to keep them going. They also had a large ball and chain which they used to pull between them - it was made from traction engine wheels welded together. The pics are on a different hard drive at work. Will dig something out.

Thanks guys, that looks like it could be the one.
At $20 000 I would have thought that someone would have snapped it up by now. Is there something dodgy or wrong with it?

This one has similarities
Taken in the 1960s by the look of the Humber Vogue
And also the ball made from traction engine wheels.
