Tokyo Ton found the source! and there is a series of photos which shows the engineering method of pulling up a 16 ton Caterpillar 65c onto an ice floe
notice the mountain in the background? That's why I think this is near antarctica. The north pole has no land mass under it, the south pole has a serious mountainous island
it was underwater for over a year

ReplyDeleteThis seems to be the group that did it.
As I recall, you're a genius at surprising me, right? And I can't remember shit, so I may be wrong, but if I am right, man you are staying on course! Thanks for this!
DeleteAwesome! But did they get it started...??
ReplyDeleteI doubt that they did. It will likely take an engine and transmission tear down and rebuild to get all the seawater out, and all the electrical components will probably have to be replaced, salt water would ruin all connections and switches
DeleteNow that is very cool recovery. Pardon the pun.
ReplyDeletelol... well said!
