Were the two Case bulldozers the same?

Post by cody6268 »

A number of years ago, I purchased the K-17 Ford D800 with Dyson Low-Loader with Taylor Woodrow decals for $8, missing its dozer. For years, I paired it with various models in my collection, but now I think it is time I paired it with the Case bulldozer it came with. I've always thought that the Case bulldozer it came with was identical to the one in the 1-75 at the time, but the ones I've seen on Ebay (each seems to cost 3 times what I paid for the truck and trailer) all have the same number as the Low Loader on their base.

Were these the same casting? Or was the one paired with the truck larger?

Its not easy to find those dozers with tyracks and a cab, that is why tje price isnt cheap! the small RW16 isnt even half the size of the K17 unit so no surprises there............
