Subscriber Carl Teller, formerly of Starbuck, dropped by the office with this photo of an interesting implement set up on this crawler tractor, brand and date of photo unknown. It appears that, instead of a bull dozer blade, that a stout iron I-beam has been put in the dozer blade's place, with several cultivators mounted in front, and all that rides on wheels while being pushed forward by the tractor. That's a hunk of railroad rail helping brace the front piece, so we're guessing this setup was hell for stout. The photo was taken by J. Don Davis, Portrait and Commercial photographer of Dayton. If any of our faithful Chronicle readers recognizes this equipment, please let us know.
