Child-Size Bulldozer Looks and Works Like the Real Thing

Scaled down to child-size, a pedal-operated bulldozer is a realistic model of a Caterpillar diesel tractor, complete with everything except the engine noise. The endless track rolls over four rubber-tired wheels and the tractor is steered by clutch levers just like the real thing. When one of the steering levers is pulled, the track on that side is raised, allowing the other track to swing the toy around. Another lever raises and lowers the blade. Energetic youngsters will use it to clear snow off sidewalks this winter.
