Hi, Fat Dan.
My guess would be that it is an ex-navy machine with the U.S. 7th fleet.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

That might be but it seems like everything up here that is Navy is usually different shades of blue - depending on how sun bleached they have become..😃
Thanks Deas
My fault ... I didn't get any pictures of the patina under the Cat yellow with numbers and Data on the chassis.
I did find another picture

I believe during WW2 since so much of production went to the US military, Caterpillar painted everything in military green.

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."
