Prototype of a 1980's experimental utility tracked vehicle powered by a 4 cylinder Cummins 4BT 85 horse engine with hydrostatic drive. It never went into full production.

Found this in an article about Cline Custom-Built Trucks of Kansas City in the current issue of "Wheels of Time" the magazine of the American Truck Historical Society (http://www.aths.org/). Cline was known for building quality heavy duty trucks used in the mining and lumber industries, as re-railers for the railroads, as drilling rigs, and in quarrry and construction jobs.

I love this little cat! The dual front drive sprockets have been a design I would like to duplicate one day. Boggie-Man any chance you can pick up this little cat in the future?
