Serial number search

sawatzky1,

My book shows it as a 1949. My book also, shows SN-7U7816 as the last one for that year, 1949

It is good that you have that info, I have alot of org. paper work for a D2 that my grandfather purchased new.
It is really neat to go back a see just how much things cost back then.
Here is the serial number listing for the D4's http://www.chriscomachinery.com/D4serial.htm

Thanks guys for the info. Soon i hope to scan in the papers and a picture of the tractor. Sadly we lost track of the Cat about 30 years ago. Im almost sure it was scrapped during the 80's.

Check with the Cat dealers in your state and surrounding states they can check if anyone has ordered parts for that serial #.

You should list the state you are in.
I would not be surprised to find it still exists!

The tractor was sold new in Oklahoma. Since none of the old dealerships exist anymore, at least in this part of the country, they only keep records from when they consolidate. Warren Cat in OKC service departmet lady was very nice and did try to help just didnt have anything older than 10 years.

Would it be possible the Cat Archive would have any info on serial numbers?

NO, cats were sold only to dealers, if you know what dealer it was purchased from they might have some records but cat did not keep track of the individuals who purchased them.
