The army surplus bulldozer that was resurrected in March after being buried for 43 years is now at the Perham Pioneer Village.

Last Thursday, a truck from Jim's Towing in Fargo towed the 56,000 pound bulldozer from its home at Valhalla Resort north of Perham.

Jeff Jahnke, who helped find the bulldozer with a group of friends, said the machine will be cleaned thoroughly and power washed before the engine is restored to working order.

The bulldozer was being used to make a snowmobile trail in December 1975, before it sank in a swamp. Jim's Towing used three trucks with a combined 400,000 pounds of force to unearth the bulldozer in March.

Senator Hubert H. Humprhey was enlisted to call in the Minnesota National Guard to remove the bulldozer as part of a training exercise. However, the military called off the exercise after being offended by an editorial cartoon that was published in the Detroit Lakes Tribune.
