What's the "scoop" thing on the front of the radiator for?
That's so the radiator doesn't suck up all the chaff and dust from the tracks. Air comes in from the top.
Its really a water tank for the toilet in the cab, notice the vent pipe at the top rear of the cab?
lol just kidding! lol
Thanks Rome, I'm guessing it's open at the bottom so that any detritus that does come in the top can just fall out the bottom? (pun kind of intended : )
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.

"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."
