Boneyard cat 30

Hi all, I have an old cat on my property that's been here a looooong time, not looking to get it running but would like to preserve it best I can anyway, at some point I will pull it out of the dirt and clean it up as best I can for a conversation piece.
Wondering if anyone can confirm exactly what I have and when it was manufactured, I have reason to believe this was used for the logging industry here and was abandoned long ago, I have pics of the nomenclature and the tractor parts that are here.
Thanks for looking and sorry I have no idea why the pics are upside down, my first post here.

Hi Albioncat,

From the looks of the vegetation around your Cat, it looks like you are in the same Albion I am, somewhere up Albion Ridge rd?

What ever happens don't let the brass S/N plate get away.[attachment=37547]image4.jpg[/attachment][attachment=37546]image3.jpg[/attachment][attachment=37545]image2.jpg[/attachment][attachment=37544]image1.jpg[/attachment]

Hey Josh, we must be neighbors, you have an old cat?

Hi Daron, I will not let that nomenclature plate get away, I tend to keep everything lol.

I see 1918 on the plate and manufactured in Guatemala? Only info I found so far shows these made in Stockton and somewhere else in the Midwest?, is that 1918 date just for the patent?

The "P" of the "PS" says it was made in Peoria and the number says 1929 (per the ACMOC "Serial Number Reference Manual").

Thanks Daron, 1929 would make more sense.
