Pretty sure Lucas Earthmoving had 2 Grants converted for Earthmoving in Wangaratta, certainly up to 1980 or so. Also can remember 1 or 2 parked up against the Barnawartha Service station mid 70's (35kms north of Wang.). As well as one out Walla Walla way with the original radial we looked at about 8 years ago. For some reason this one also had a quantity of the ice grousers that went on to the track.
So there were quite a few of these beasties in this area, proximity to Bandiana probably had something to do with it. Do not recognise the one shown on the E-Bay ad though.
Be interesting to see, it would only be 1/2 an hour away.
Rich.
