Says FRED B. PARKER
of Parker & Son, Mine Operators of Fairbanks,
"Caterpillar" Diesel D8
Tractor is ’dozing pay dirt into
the sluice box at the Parker & Son mine on Olive Creek
near Livengood, Alaska. In addition to its ’dozing job,
it strips overburden and acts as roustabout.
The Parkers need a big machine for their open cut
placer mine and Mr. Parker is pleased with the tractor's
performance.
