No Lew, I have no idea where this one was built. I travel one every day though. Our driveway
There is many around our area that were punched through the woods that I do travel occasionally.
If anyone is interested on how the company was started I'll give a quick rundown. Grandfather bought his first dozer (don't know the year) a Cat D-4 to clear his wood land to farm fields. He had 25 head of milk cows and a few beef cattle and needed more crop land.
The neighbors saw the finished work and hired him to do their land clearing. Back in those days there wasn't a lot of crop land around this area, so he saw a hole that needed filling so to speak. Well land clearing led to roads needing to be made to get to the fields, which led to new town roads as the city folks were moving to the country, and those folks wanted ponds built by there new homes that needed basements...... and the company was formed.
Back in those days there wasn't much if any competition either, unlike today.
