Those are great. The other thing we need are stamps that are in the original font that Cat used, which doesn't exactly match anything that I find online, so it might have been a font conjured by the Drafting Dept.

Neil, are you referring to the actual tractor serial number that was stamped in the tag ?

Yes sir, I haven't been able to match that font to anything. It seems like it's a mash-up of various fonts. I'll bet there was a discussion in the drafting room back in the day where everyone got to state what features they liked and then some wag put together a font that combined all those features. I'm probably wrong but that's what it seems like

there might be a reason for that neil. or maybe the original manufacturer went out of business.

Some manufacturers and end user companies will actually patent the font so it can't legally be copied. A lot of rail companies did that. BNSF, CP CN etc.Cat probably did with most of theirs as well. I know the fonts used in the parts book are different to every font that I have. I have about 4000.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
