Anyone have any guesses on this one???

 

[db4600]

Guess is not domestic. Thats an honest rival to the 150.
Definitely specialized. Looks like there might be a side
shaft driven winch on this side, but not much of a belt
pulley.

 

[tractorsam]

I wonder if it was used at a river crossing? Only thing I
can think of that would require the high clearance. There
also appears to be a winch mounted on the nose.

Has to be power steering somehow but don't see that side shaft doing it. ???

Wow!

I'm gonna say some kind of recovery vehicle Winch on front that projects out past and above substansial front axle, maybe an
early tank recovery vehicle

Something used in a shipyard would be my guess.

 

[Steve@Advance]

It does resemble a ships construction.

Looks like a pulley up on the front top, maybe for lifting and transporting, positioning something very heavy!

 

[dpendzic]

I wonder what it weighs?

Sure doesn't look like French. Must be Spanish. I wonder if it was built by and for railroad for derailment recovery?

 

[cdmn]

La Camposina means farm worker in Spanish. I would guess it's used to haul big bundles of sugar cane to the mill,
such as in Cuba.

Look at the size of those rolled plates! How did the plates get joined?, there was not much welding back in the steamer days I am aware of. Flanging, drilling or punching for rivets?

What ever it is I wish it still existed. Something like that would be neat to have at shows.

But how could you transport it?

I really don't know... I suppose if the 150 can be transported it can. Just need a big trailer and some long tiedowns.

 

[miangus]

Look like a bit over height.
