To me, with the hydraulic motors (all four wheels?) it seems too well-done. Similarly, the blade tilt cylinders look like such perfectly-sized, small-scale replicas that it looks "all of a piece" to me as opposed to "handmade," as the seller opines. I wonder if it was used in some mining operation, where there wasn't a lot of room. That or a defense contractor's solution to some classified problem we'll never hear about--lol! Hey...wait a minute! Kent found this, and Kent's an ex-military operative (and are you really ever "ex" if you're in the "alphabet soup" branches?):p? Maybe it was used to scrape the frost heaves out of the tunnels leading down to the large, two-man, sand-encased "eggs" that hang underground at nuke missle silos, where the two firing keys get twisted simultaneously, to intiate the launch sequence....:D Peter

Yeah... meanwhile anyone who's watched more than one episode of the X files would know that this is coming from a garage sale at Area 51....
