This Cat was listed as a THIRTY PS 7897, obviously it's not. From what I see looks like a D5 or early D2. I'm sure someone can set me straight.

Hi, STEPHEN.
I'm with you, M8, early D4 with LeTourneau dozer and 'headache bar' blade lift.

Just my 0.02.

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

D4 7J or maybe even T series, 2 bolts in front of the D4 tag give it away.

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."
