I was hoping someone could elucidate me on the mfg. date of my recent D2 purchase of S/N 5U1228. I was told it was purchased new in 1946 by the previous owners' grandfather. I would just like to verify the mfg. date. Thank you for any help.
It’s a 1948.
Stuck in a barn in 1970, it only has 1026 original hrs. Thank you.
Sounds fresh. Post some photos if you would, including all four sides, the serial number tag, and the brake pedals. We love pictures! : )
Going out of town for a couple weeks I'll give it a shot when I get back. I am about as high tech as the tractor I purchased.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
