There's something to be said for a "full tracked" vehicle

You must stop this madness! I am certain that you drag this stuff home just to spur the rest of us to go forth and spend the rent money on similar items.
A really good find. I'll admit that she's no Cat D-7 but it is sure alot easier to trailer. The little ones are harder to operate than a "real" full size Cat.
I think you need to come up with a story about that "bullet" hole in the data plate. Something like Old Engineer Corporal Wolf seeing a German sniper risked his own life and roared along side General Patton just as the sniper fired, striking the tractor and saving the Generals life. "It must be true, there is the bullet hole in the data plate".
I hope you discarded the car seat before you unloaded the tractor in your yard.
I have to go E Bay motors shopping now, just to keep up.

It does not look like it was worked hard so I would imagine that it has been in private hands most of its life. Under the yellow there is fire engine red and then OD.
I have seen pictures of a CA=1 used by an Fire Department on Cape Cod. This might have had the same employ. I am going to pressure wash it this weekend to look for any lettering.
