Look At Russian Tractors ----- CHTZ S-60 ( CAT 60)

---- CHTZ S-65 ( looks as a RD6 )


But the best part.

Foreign Tractors :

Heavy Tractor M1 - Caterpillar D-7

Widely unknown, the Soviet Union received some 7,500 track-laying tractors through Lend-Lease during WW2, the three main producers being Caterpillar, International and Allis-Chalmers.
While the bulk of the crawlers were of the light and medium type, over 1,000 were heavies.
Among the latter were 243 D-7 produced by Caterpillar during 1942 and 1943.
Caterpillar produced 453 Medium Tractor M1 as well, the D-6, very similar in appearance to the D-7 and best recognizable by the different position of exhaust pipe and air cleaner.
The Red Army instantly deployed both of them to their heavy artillery units where they excelled mainly as prime movers, e.g. during the fierce Carpathian mountain fightings of 1944.

This drawings com out great when you print them on A4.

Thanks QUAD!

Great site. Wonder if any of those ChTZ S-60 survived! That would be a neat addition to a collection.

Testimonials

"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."
