Clark Airborne Dozers in Iowa

[mhowardems]

Hi,

My name is Mike Howard and I recently acquired 2.5 CA-1 dozers and a CAB-1 scraper. One dozer is running but with an oil leak right now and you can see it on youtube at

The other dozer I acquired has the engine stuck on it and will require a little more work. The 1/2 dozer is missing the engine, but with most of the other items in tack.

The CAB-1 I acquired will need some sheet metal work on the base. None of the dozers have data plates. I do have a data plate on the cab-1. I will be working on getting some photos up on this site soon. I have my guys at Liberty Auto working on a full restoration of these and our goal is to try to have them don by May if possible. I also have a large collection of M28, M29, M29c, T24 weasels as well plus a M5A1 Stuart Tank.

Will post our progress on this site.

Thanks
mike howard

Hi Mike Welcome aboard.

Good to hear from the "fellow who bought the Clark on Ebay" guy!

This was the machine, yes?

Anyway, it looks and sounds good!

Do you plan to re-build the two and use the thrid for parts?

Will you part out?

I know there are guys here looking for parts if you do!
