Cat Thirty wasting away?????????? was created by Deas Plant.
Hi, Folks.
There appears to be a Cat Thirty - IF you can believe the lettering on the side of the radiator - wasting away in Fresno. CA.. I have no idea of the condition, just found the Ad.

The 13A D8 has a later 14A bonnet and rivenous (spelling?) steering, has also been converted to take segmented sprockets and D8H/K track chains.

Hi, Wombat.
Yep. looks like we were looking at the same machine. It may also have been a 'Hi-Powered' unit if the twin stacks can be believed.

Sure looks THIRTY to me - "sidewinder" (aka- tailseat - orchard)
LPG Power --- if that is complete setup for LPG including the carburetor - it would be a great unit regardless of the rest of it. There are a lot of Thirty's out there.
Anyone notice the tracks?? Backwards

I had to laugh when you pointed out the reversed tracks. I had a Big 20 project sitting for years before I noticed that the tracks were backwards. Grant.
