best of luck with that one, all i can do is say contact Caterpillar inc. in peoria and see if they can assist you.
There a several Caterpillar employees either still working or retired that use this BB and they may be able to give you a contact name and number.
Don't waste your time.
They won't even be polite enough to answer a letter, much less to help.
[quote="shaper"]I have A D4 7u SN# 7u-29652 I bought in Central City Colo. from an estate.I would like to know if there is any way to find out who it was sold to and where it was shipped when it was new.

Try and E mail [email protected] She is the archivist and was very helpfull when I was looking for the same info. It kinda depends on how old the dealership is now if it is still in buisness. A lot of stuff gets thrown out when records are updated and such. Unless someone had the foresight to save some things, it probably got trashed. If it was after the "War Years", and I think it was, there may be more information available from Caterpillar. GOOD LUCK!!
Thanks for the info. jbend56 I'll keep you posted I shaped the city golf course in Winfeild nice town.
