I've been watching Caucasianaasian's post, on his excellent scratch build of a Hitachi UA-03 underwater excavator. Rowan added to the mix a Komatsu D155 W bulldozer.

I've seen pictures of this dozer but never operating. Thanks to Nobbylanz on youtube ,we have footage of the underwater beast as she is in the wild.

Here's another one ,this time I time it's from somewhere in Europe.
Different youtube account.

Here's a picture taken from Google . Pretty sure it's the same cat that took the video.

Very Unique Machines, they look awesome in that green color, and with the big snorkel. I always wanted to see them in action, thanks for posting. I wonder what year the D 155w was manufactured until?

Production started in 1972 and ended in 1993. http://www.komatsu.com/CompanyInfo/views/pdf/201312/Views_No20_amphibious_bulldozer.pdf Here is a link regarding the restoration process of a D155W
