A quick post here of a couple of our Dozers that were photographed back in 1995 by one of the authors of this book “Classic Vintage Crawlers & Dozers”. later my Dad came across the book at a classic tractor show around 2015 and was surprised to see two dozers he recognized. Both were bought new by his father in 1972 and as shown in these pictures had been basically restored after hard work through out the 80s.
In the pictures you can see the company name KL Mays & Sons on the canopy.

I’ve opened this community hub on my Channel and Subscribers should be able to post their own pictures here to my understanding.
So I look forward to seeing the trucks and tractors you guys have and whatever conversations start!

Hello everyone I'm excited to announce that I've finally got my shirt available to purchase on my online shop. Check out the design! I think you will you'll recognize a few of the trucks! AppalachianRust across the top and for a more local advertising the family business name on the bottom, wouldn't be here without them and wouldn't be here without the support of you all here on the channel.
I designed it myself and with the help of a local company had a batch screen printed. This isn't print on demand and I have a small inventory and will be shipping them out on my own as soon as I can.
Give me a grace period to work out any kinks as I'm new to this. (shipping may change price depending on location)

Thanks Everyone and be sure to check out the new video of the Off-Road Mack! https://youtu.be/CA7P5IDwEJI

Just a quick picture here everyone. I’ve been meaning to make a welcome to the channel video after hitting 10,000 subscribers! But I haven’t had a chance to get to it. The normal videos are coming along and next week I’ll post the videos of hauling hay with the white R model Mack, I know some of you are waiting to see it again.
Thank you for those that have been here since I started and I see the usuals in the comments THANK YOU!
Welcome to all the new viewers I hope that you see that my channel follows me (James) and my Dad (Jerry) and Uncle Sammy in the family business and our day to day to keep rolling. I hope you find something interesting to stick around, a lot of what you see on the channel is equipment that my father and uncle have had for years and some that my grandfather bought new when he first started out, if you dig through the community posts here on the channel I posted some pictures of him and a little history.
I try to have a mix of videos consisting of trucks, heavy equipment, Farming and maybe other interesting things in our part of the world as the channel grows!!
