Apologies for dredging up an old thread but first time I saw this picture …
http://www.unusuallocomotion.com/pages/ ... html#page2
and figured this would be a good place to put it.

Funny you should dredge that up since I just bought an amphibian and am picking it up on Sunday. Click on pics for full size.

I always thought those were cool. One of my buddy's dad had a small version back in the early 80's. I think the company had some back then as well but that was before my time. Today we use the marsh masters for certain jobs that call for it. Crew member threw a track not that long ago turning where he shouldn't have. Would upload a vid but the cursing would not fit on a family oriented website. :lol:

As far as I know the site owner and the moderators such as Rick have always requested that our posts be basically PG-13 which everyone seems willing to adhere to. However, someone does from time to time belly-ache or cry about a newly found problem, part order, busted knuckle, master cylinder installation, etc. which could be mistaken for the ramblings of a woman or small child.... I try not to post those too often. :lol:

Edit - Any mention of this post's existence to my wife will be strictly denied.


Here ya go Rick, one on steroids...
