I was sent this photo of a crawler for ID by a friend in Russia - the picture was taken there in 1932, but unfortunately is of very poor quality. I wondered if it might be a Holt or Caterpillar? Perhaps it is possible to tell from the track design, as at least this is fairly clear in the photo? Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

David

My guess is a Cletrac with a custom cab. I'm basing this on the tracks, radiator shape, and hood profile.

Thanks for all your help with this. The Soviets did produce a copy of the Holt 5-ton, known as the Bolshevik (see below), so it could be one of those?

Hi, David Parfitt.
The Russians produced many tractors, both wheel and crawler, based on Western designs. I understand that Caterpillar actually sent them some Cat Sixtys for this very purpose. That was back somewhat before the Cold War, in about 1928 or so.

If you send that photo to the Chelyabinsk company in Russia, they may be able to provide some information on it.

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