I may be mistaken but I believe all american military products must be made in america. Which is why they use CAT equipment and not Komatsu. I guarantee Komatsu has CAT beat on price.

So Lisa I think I topped your apple today. I found a Mutsu at work that weighed in at 1.38 pounds. Freakin monster of an apple! I have a picture on my phone I'll try to remember my camera for tomorrow morning.

But CAT is more prevalent. The combat dozers are solely CAT.

Hey everyone,

What's going on? Just got back from dinner...authentic German food...before that went to a local farm to pick up some pumpkins and harass their animals, including a sow with piglets and a cow with no eyes.

I hope you have it figured out, Alicia.

Miliatry hmmv's, M35 A3's ( 2-1/2 ton) turcks, and several other military vehicles are made by AM General. AM general sold off the name hummer to GM to market to civilian markets. The original H1's that were delivered originally to the military are forbidden to be sold off like the m35's. From what I hear though, those things were killers on maintenance... lots of high replacement rate expensive stuff to get that much suspension travel.

My only experience with gen 1 mustangs were a couple of rustbuckets i restored when I was doing bodywork right after high school. I don't know if it was just being original rust belt cars or what, but I welded in most of the bottom half of the vehicle in fixing them. One was a straight six, 3 spd manual, the other was a pony mode 6 cyl. automatic. All you'll find worth the money is off colors.....too many bright shiny red ones with the hot motors got wrapped around trees and bridge piling by kids who could not handle them or adults who thought they could.
