    Hello D4C, I have a picture some where of that model dozer, it shows the tracks and blade on the ground as normal but the the rest of the dozer sat on its diesel tank and the nose pointing to the sky. The center pin on the equaliser bar had fallen out and as the dozer was traveling back or forward (not sure which) it wound itself into that position, not having the front mounted rams to connect the nose of the tractor with the blade.
