The picture shows the area under the cab riser that was accessible from the side rather than from the rear of the riser. Also the side steps that got up to the cab were a straight step across rather than a step into no mans land. The back stop was angle iron and not a solid back stop. Hard to see if the backstop had springs to cushion the hits of the logs.

I should also point out that 2 custom race-car machines ended up getting built for DeBriae and Madill called them 3850C's. They were 3800C frames with a bunch of top-secret specs I never saw. Lets just say one caught fire and was completely destroyed. I dont know where the other one is.

They had special engine/hydraulic/swing/travel mods and I think Madill went broke in the testing phases and it didn't go anywhere.

They were awesome I heard but everybody was afraid the power was too much and would destroy booms, finals, swing drives, etc. I know they were hot hot hot!

There was a bunch of Madill 4800B stuff crammed into that 3800C frame.
I recently saw a 3850c for sale in new zealand, but the pictures weren't from NZ?

Sender had a 3850c advertised for quite a while,looked a little rough but might've been a fun logging shovel to play on.

That chassis in post #474 almost looks like it came from the factory with that Emoryville cab. What a strange looking contraption.
