Dust jacket is unchipped, not price clipped (2.50 on front inside flap), slight age-toning, a few tiny edge nicks and short closed edge tears. Enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. A classic and scarce story for boys. Bill Crane, just out of high school and eager for a job, goes on a June fishing trip with his friend, Ducky Davis, to a lake in the Maine wilderness. More important than the bass they catch is the discovery of a "Caterpillar" D2 Tractor, sunk and abandoned in the lake. How Bill locates the owner and buys the machine, how he and Ducky get it out of the water and make it run, is a tale that will thrill every mechanically minded boy. Of still broader interest is the story of Bill's plucky battle to build a contracting business from that modest start..
