Spotted this next to the Road in a town park...Obviously the PC Police have not found their way to this New Hampshire town.
And a short while later I looked over and in a impeccably manicured yard sat this WWII 1945 Cat D7 ex-military. Met the owner. Great guy. Even got invited back in 2 weeks after it gets painted OD.

Good lookin' cat! Not to steal the thread, but does anyone know if there were any 977 cat loaders in the military inventory? I have an old (late 50's) 977 crawler loader that came from the estate of an HMV collector. It's sorta blue-green but underneath is cat yellow. After I picked it up, I found out the old boy that owned it painted everything od green that soon faded to the current blue-green. Even though it's obviously a civilian cat, I was thinking of painting it od with some stars just for the heck of it, or am I a little too far out in left field?

With something that "obscure" you could always "spin a yarn" about .....about it's past
I picked up a 1 1/2 ton Chevy converted to a SHORT wheelbase plow truck once...and the owner insisted that it was a rare "artillary prime mover " and the snow plow was use to clear gun emplacements I suppose all the amber warning lites were for aircraft recognition as well
Cheers
