Nice Machine and YES, being that it is in England around that time, I would say it may not have seen battle but is definitely a "War Relic" probably from the Lend-Lease program!

Hello Jordan,
I am the proud owner of 7M1962 in Norfolk UK (see my avatar).
According to my records, 7M4185 was made early 1942, is that the machine which Robert Self was advertising for sale ?
Please send me a personal message (PM) and I can put you in touch with fellow Cat enthusiasts in Kent.

Great looking restoration there makes everything I do look pretty rough

I dont know if because its green it means it served in WW2 I think all cats were painted green in the war years as was the same with a lot of trucks tractors ect during the war years as a lot machines were purchased by the governments of the day and issued to private companys as needed
All of this could and most likely is wrong

"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."
