I'm looking at another 9K on CL and stamped on it the chassis S/N plate is "US 7"
Im wondering what the the US 7 stands for. Anyone have ?? ideas ??
It still wears remnants of the its original OD Green birthday suit. 😁👍 under the Cat yellow

Hi, Fat Dan.
My guess would be that it is an ex-navy machine with the U.S. 7th fleet.

Just my 0.02.

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

That might be but it seems like everything up here that is Navy is usually different shades of blue - depending on how sun bleached they have become..😃
Thanks Deas
My fault ... I didn't get any pictures of the patina under the Cat yellow with numbers and Data on the chassis.
I did find another picture

I believe during WW2 since so much of production went to the US military, Caterpillar painted everything in military green.
