Hi, Folks.
Here is a link to a video clip on Youtube of a 4T series D7 that is 'NOT' a Cat.

Anybody have anymore information on it?

A kew-ree-yuss mind would like to know.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

That's correct, in WW2, Cat could not step up production quickly enough, so the 4T was built, to cat design and specs, by the American Car and Foundry Company, I am led to believe that they built the whole of 4T production, but am not sure if this is true.

I remember that tractor, I was at the sale, went reasonable.

Hi, OM.
I think you will find that the 'outer ring' of that symbol is ackshully a lower case 'a' - see the straight line up the right side of said symbol. But 'kee-wreck-shuns' are welkum.

Just my 0.02.

Hi, OM.
So do you happen to know if they were separate or subsidiary/connected companies?

I'm not really up on the history but both company's had similar production. Makes for some interesting reading but from what I can tell they were not directly affiliated.
