Friday Iron

[RedMF40]

Fun little crawler I saw today. Parked in what used to be called a "motor court." Collection of little cabins for travelers to stay in. Probably popular with newlyweds at one time.

Don't see too many surviving today. This place was converted to full-time rental housing, so tenants were living in the cabins. Everything parked around the

340 looked worn and in need of repair--and too recent to be of much interest. Don't know its status but the dozer had a massive winch on the back--looked to be hydraulic. Here are the pics.

In these parts (Rte 66), motor courts catered to the traveling families and the cavorting couples (hourly rates).

Looks stout, but something funny about the blade mounted to the lift arms. I suppose the rollers and sprockets are worn out.
I farmed with my Dad's Farmall 340. I loved it, but in retrospect, it was too fragile. I wonder how the TD340 diesel worked out?

Blade arms look stout for the size of it. I haven't got the blade figured out . Almost looks like it might angle a little.
