I wonder if the cage around the driver's compartment was installed by the company that previously owned the bulldozer.

H-W in 1938. I believe this was the only crawler type tractor used by any circus before World War II - -besides RBBB of course.

Under his lease and management Howard Bary brought a number of innovations to H-W - - this crawler tractor plus some new metal wagons with pneumatic tires and a Chevrolet canvas truck with pneumatic wheels.
