building what you want, from what you can find... commendable, and this mini dozer from a lawn mowing Cub Cadet is great
They were built by International Harvester, but they also had about 101 other attachments. They were over-engineered to the point of being indestructible. Cast iron Kohler engines, cast iron transaxles, and very little plastic makes them highly desirable now.
The even number Cub Cadet models were mechanically driven, the odd numbers were hydros.
Dan took his circa 1963 Cub Cadet 100 and decided it would make a sweet crawler tractor. It looks like something the factory would have turned out. He had to make clutches and controls to steer this baby, just like the early Caterpillar tractors.

overcoming a power out caused by a hurricane
On September 21, 1938 a hurricane roared north, slamming the U.S. Northeast coast with 120-mile-an-hour winds and a storm surge that left parts of Providence Rhode Island, under nearly 14 feet of water.
88% of the New England Power Association's customers had no electric service—including this New London, Connecticut, gas station.
Hundreds of automobiles were stalled for lack of fuel on New England roads until this youngman came up with a brilliant solution

remarkable Jeep test drive course installed in Vancouver
http://www.jeep.com/en/cherokee-the-detour/
River in the City –
Fast Facts: 1,000,000 pounds of boulders, rocks and sand (2500 sand bags), used throughout the set to break up water flow and give surface disturbance;
Water (250,000 gallons) was pumped onto the street with water pumps hidden in the alley and placed in key spots. (The water was recycled using a closed water system that pumped water from the end of the street back to the top. The water was eventually discharged down the street, into Vancouver Harbor.);
400,000 pounds of snow – the snowbank was made of snow blanket and fish-ice; Logs, sticks, moss, and 80 fir/hemlock trees lined/covered the street. (The trees were boxed and returned to the nursery and boulders, gravel and other materials were also repurposed.);
and Two wolves were on set. (The domesticated, mixed-breed wolves were made available from the Animal Insight for Film and TV. A representative from the American Humane Association was on set to attest that the wolves were treated humanely and procedures were followed. Observers were able to take pictures with the animals.)
