Classic Michigan wheeled dozer makes sweet music

Growing up as the son of a digger driver in the 1960’s early 70’s I was naturally a bit obsessed with earthmoving equipment. This fascination in the machines lead me to own a lot of toy diggers, or what they would call models these days. One that springs to mind of the 100’s that I used to own was the Clark Michigan 180 wheeled dozer produced by Dinky. It was a simple toy and not highly detailed like some of the more expensive models out there, but you could actually play with it without fear of it breaking! 1652_l This video features a similar model which is still a runner today and is privately owned in the United States, check out the screaming sound from its Detroit Diesel engine!
