8a Caterpillar Tractor

Post by johnboy »

This is a code 1 except the driver is yellow instead of the usual red, perhaps the trim was just missed by the outreach worker but I haven't seen one before, has anyone else?

Hi Guys, the Yellow model shown by "Johnboy" has more 'Exposed' area at the back of the engine than the Orange model shown by "Mike".

Yes, Mike can you double check. Your's looks like a code 5 (engine closed at the rear) but missing the black trim, unless it's all worn off :)

No signs of color black helmet.
And a fully open engine compartment (engine - fully open).

Are there more such models by members of in the forum?

Nice spotted John, I have not seen it. It could be similar to 19a MG without red seats. I was looking long time for a pale yellow model.

Hi Johnboy.

I like this, 8a model also very gladly.
But unfortunately I see little interest in other forum members.

These are my two models.
The yellow model has the code: 8
The orange model has the code: ?
I can not find the code. (fully open engine)

I like these models too Mike. Your tractor is open above the engine but closed at the rear, I will check my orange ones :)
