We were trying to finish grade the slopes along a new highway when the 650H slid down the slope into the canal and the 750J tried to pull him out, an also fell in. Good thing we had the 345CL there to rip them both out.

Cat moves it, and ought to use this video as advertisement! The Ghirardi Oak was moved by Hess Landscaping Construction by using a D7 dozer, a D8, and a trio of 345 excavators

This video looks great in full screen, and the lack and white images are only there for a historic perspective for the first minute

Hess landscape Construction is a company from near San Jaun Capistrano, California

 Russian, 1937

 Ever seen a tank tread like this? I haven't. It's an Imgoldby transporter

Lotsa engines, and a huge fuselage... Italian? Russian?

old and unusual vehicles that are getting emailed around this week

 I believe the above is a bread delivery truck... must be successful to afford the coachwork!

 very elegant tour coach tram... this would not be good in any area with weather, but terrific for Southern California... all we get is sun from March to December.. yes, I am bragging. It's expensive too.

 the above... is EARLY! 1890's? I think! Victorian to Edwardian for sure

 one tiny tracked tourer

 Movie studio lot transport? Tourist carrier?

 She must be in incredible muscular shape to push pull that cycle

 No notes with this email of photos to indicate why two images of this cycle car are here, it's the same motorcycle rear, and I guess the front is the same, but at a later time, when he added headlights and the trunk on the roof

 An orient buckboard above

Thanks to commentor Boonie, the above people carrier is identified as a Lister Auto Truck, and a website link I am grateful for was offered that displays a great number of images that demonstrate a variety of these small industrial motorized service craft used in the 1920's and 1930's  http://www.autotruck.org/apps/photos/album.jsp?albumID=3840394  and below is a better look at one

Another reminder that there is always more wheeled machines that I've never seen or heard of to discover! 

 I've posted about this motorwheel http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=dynasphere it's the Dynasphere of Dr Purve

it was too big to be able to turn when needed...
