Armoured Dozer

[Jakko Westerbeke]

Not sure it’s a one-off, it seems fairly elaborate with those curved armour plates. But it’s proving frustratingly hard to find out more about that US Navy one — what part of, “Google, I want things that refer to the Navy” doesn’t that stupid site understand?

But in trying that, I did come across yet another, captioned as a “Caterpillar D-8 Tractor with Armored Cab”:

Also this one, showing the cab being fitted to one of the bulldozers in the photo Patrice posted:

At least, it’s most likely one of those, because that shows seven with the same armour plating, and these plywood templates for that have “7 required” and “14 required” written on them:

Nice finds, Jakko!
