Scrapyard rescue Thiokol Sprite

Post by dan1 » Sat Nov 01, 2014 6:28 am

The scrapyard this was in is closing it's doors and clearing out...I couldn't stand to see this get crushed so I initiated a rescue and was able to get it out safely...not military but so far with the research I've done the USAF did have/use these in AK.I wouldn't mind finding a manual for this if one exsists. Here's a couple pics of the 'cat':

Tracks are intact, basically just big rubber belts with steel cross bracket it would probably be good idea to replace rubber for dependability.
