WOW! What a dealership!!!!!!!! Better than todays "Funeral Parlor" dealerships with no showroom, no parts displays, no nothing!!!!!!!

Hi, Folks.
How many of you can tell me what this tractor is?

 

A kew-ree-yuss mind would like to know, not what the photos are of but how many recognize the 'animal'.

Just my 0.02.

Tractor - hmmm - someone had a lot of money and time to "tinker" with that D8 -
Radiators behind the seat - looks like maybe a "roots" blower of a "screaming jimmy" - who knows what else they have done to the machine. Maybe some TEREX - AKA - Euclid cross breeding took place.
Just a guess, but that may have been an early attempt to put a "slush box" and do away with the direct drive.

Why anyone would want to mess up a nice Cat like that?

It appears the starting engine is still intact - note the location for the crank, Oh my poor knuckles!

I am "kew-ree-yuss" - did the owner take it to the dealer claiming it was a warranty defective machine?

Enlighten those of us that have not been in the "outback" as long as you.

Hi, ctsnowfighter.
Patience, Man, patience. Let'z us see if anybody can pick it

Just my 0.02.

Euclid wanna-be but Cat with a glorified seat heater

Could that be the prototype experimental D9

thanks OM, 37 Ford....very nice, reminds me of the early 40's Willys etc

-yes again, wow what a dealership, complete tidy operation!
