Time flies so it may have ben 35 plus years ago that I visited Ed Porter at his farm near Selinas Ca. Ed had several old cats in the barn but what I remember most was the Diesel 40 that he had purchased when it was 1 year old.The same operator had operated and maintained the tractor including overhals forĀ 40,000 plus hours. All parts, fuel, oil, and filter cost were documented in a diary that the operator kept with the Diesel 40 that was still operatable.
Hi, Jim Allen.
Thanks for the heads-up. Int'restin' readin' in both 'ar-tickles'. I had heard that Cat had built a tank engine during WW2 but did not know much about it other than it had been done.
Just my 0.02.
