looks like a challenger and terex collided

What is this?

it intrigues me and looks like a bunch of sketches I have for a home made tucker type project???

Joe Barron is the new service/field rep/ manager guy here in the midwest at track inc, the photo is off his website.

I think the track assemblies look like John Deere High speed dozer tracks. It is articulate in steering as these machines look to be. JMHO

I believe they are Sercel Nomads used as per of the semic crew in north slope Alaska I think Lyndon posted those before

The white ones have several different styles if you look close at the track drive

thanks a bunch, its amazing the speed at which information abounds. I have been dreaming up a way to make a cost effective pulling machine out of parts I have acquired. most of my sketches wind up articulated as a simple steering process is cheap to build. military axles (2.5 ton) have a durable final drive, and the metal pleiss pod tracks just happen to be laying here.
Sercel track pods look very similar to the metal pleiss pods i have.

Thanks a bunch.

Mike,
If you're looking for deuce axles, you might try Tom up at Alfa Heaven 715-449-2141. Tell him I sent you. Rears are easier to come by than fronts.

I picked up a duece with a prentice loader on it after we chatted last... I had every intent on using the rears for my dream and selling the front to offset costs. after getting it back up and running the 5X' REO as been a popular tool to have around.

so Tom might be getting a call after all.

Haha, that thing does look like something out of a Terex-Challenger mashup — love it.
Definitely has some DIY vibes — if you're sketching out Tucker-style rigs, you might get a kick out of some of the older Terex machinery layouts.

Would love to see your sketches too if you ever decide to post them — this place could use more cool home-brew projects like that.
