Welcome Jim. Your Cat is definitely a "war years" model made in 1943.

Thanks D4Jim for your reply, I now have another question, what winch would have been fitted to this model? would it have been a Hyster D4 logging winch or a double drum control winch?. The shipping weight stenciled on the fuel tank reads 15362 lbs, I suppose thats the combind weight of the tractor, blade/hydraulics and winch.
Are 1940s style gauges still avalable in the USA as I am having some difficulty finding them over here?.
Thanks again in advance. Jim

Hi sherman , I thought Rockhampton is Henry Price Country, the Cat part man , I used to do loads of work around your area for a chap called Phil Strange,on pipeline kit, I live only a short trip from you at Upton upon Severn
The weight plate is in USA pounds =2ooo lbs = 1 short ton not 2240 lbs =1 ton, so the weight thing needs a bit of maths,
If you get in a jam with anything I would be only to happy to help.

You will get lots of great help and advice from tc. Make sure he takes you out for a quick tour of the area and maybe a stop at the local pub. Tc did you have a nice christmas holiday? Happy new year to sherman and tc. I have a 1944 d2 and its first coat of paint was olive drab. If you scrape long enough you will find it. My d4d is a 1969 model and I am having a blast with it
