1972/73 977K with 4n1 bucket,MS ripper and factory ROPS+cab.Any earlier machine and it wouldn't have had a factory ROPS..any later model and it woulda been a 977L model.-L's have the carrier rollers mounted on the loader tower and the K's have the carrier rollers on pillars bolted to the track frames.He sure did haveta fiddle with the wires a lot to get it to start in the movie..most wouldnt take more than a bump of the starter once up to operating temp...but then again 'it's only a movie'
