Caterpillar D4 7j

I had a late model 7J with a blade similar to that one but it angled. Never did know who made the blade. I still have a 7J but put a tool bar blade on it from a 7U model--works fine. Hows yours start and run?

That is a model 4R LaPlant Choate angle blade dozer.

Looks like mine. 7J3168W

Hello Tony
Picked this dozer up for a good price,could have sold it on for double what I payed for it.It needs a bit of TLC which I will give it.Got a few months to sort it out.The old girl is not bad for its age.Hope to see you at a Cat do soon.
Take care

Bob, the diesel is a first class runner,will give the pony a overhaul.Already sent the mag of for servicing.
Thinking of painting it military colours,there is green paint under the yellow.I have a lot of yellow machines.

Found this photo of one being used in WW2. We must not forget what happened to these people.
And at this time of year,remember our brave armed forces in all conflicts.

Martyn its a bit hard for me to forget this month, as my Father Died on November 11th at exactly 11 am, He served in the RAF through-out the 2nd WW with Bombers and suffering 35% burns to his body, I have a photo of him driving a CAT D4 pulling a long line of Bomb trailers heading to load up the Deadly cargo in the near-by parked row of Aircraft, its a big reminder to all the loss of life caused by conflict.
