I had the forklift, tractor, helicopter and bulldozer. As has by now been mentioned in a few posts, at the time the bulldozer was great. Think about how you'd make a bulldozer with the parts that were available at the time. Indeed the bucket would (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) somewhere else to be patronised. Seriously though, I never said don't put the number just put the name as well. Several of the others already add the name, and when discussing Technic verbally no one's gonna say 8480 instead of Space Shuttle. (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Perhaps Unimogs are not so common in the UK? I remember recognizing it at once as a child. I didn't know that it was called "Unimog", but I did know that it looked like "those large lorries used by the road construction guys"... I've always (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I can only say me too! I did have the old pre-Technic gears and chain links, but I did not have the new wide ones from the bulldozer. I think that if I had gotten it at the time, I would have been disappointed. The new wide treads have much (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)

Two mistakes in my last post: 1. 8860 wheels would need to be remade. 2. I missed the 853 original Auto Chassis as I was only looking for numbers beginning with 8. There it is at No. 34 but known as a 956. A possible contender as it's just the (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)
