From 1973 the V-con dozer was marketed by the vehicle constructors division of Marion Power Shovel Company.This model V220 featured diesel-electric drive and was equipped with a Detroit Diesel 16V-149T engine with 1,500HP. Basically a diesel locomotive on wheels. This dozer managed to tour many mines in the mid-west in the 70's as a demonstrator.

I saw this on the news one time,I must have been 6,but it stayed with me my whole life.Never forgot the size of this beast. Must have not been to good on fuel. I remember the fuel shortage in the 70's too.Guess that's one reason it never really caught on.

Its amazing how individual contractors/companies convert a standard machine to suit their job specifications, similar I guess to the Tigeer, where you get
a company like Cat making it a standard lineup of models. I guess Cat, Komatsu, Liebherr or LeTourneau take over various concepts as well, which end up as
a standard specification model.
Great pictures so far,, I hope there are more to come
Regards from down under
