What the heck is it and what was it for? It apparently comes with a blade not currently fitted. Looks like the Army's version of a "Bobcat" front end loader but with ONTOS or SPAT running gear...sort of.

Cute though.

AHA! Seems they run with or without tracks:

I think we can disregard the 2/11th ACR markings. Wink

That is WAY TOO COOL!! Looks like one of those 6X6 ATV (ala the 'Banana Splits' !?) that has been modified to look like a mini-weasel. Neat Stuff !! Regards Don

That's what I was thinking...it looked like a weasel with hypopituitarism or didn't get enough growth hormone.

I can see why the army rejected it, having much better candidates with the Dyna-Track, Weasel, etc. It is cute as a button, though. Roy and I know some K Troopers, I wonder if the seller is one of them?
