depending on the date the tractor was put on service , it will be considered wartime tractor. i know for beeing a caterpillar salesman that if you have the serial number ,the caterpillar company will be able to search for the expedition date... or date of birth . That will tell you. Did you know that caterpillar made a sales presentation to the president and some high ranking officer of the military force at that time. unfortunatly they chose not to buy. Then caterpillar was called to make the presentation to the germans and they bought the hole production. Then war came , and caterpillar instead of delivering the tractors to the germans , did in fact contribute to the war effort buy selling those tractors to USA. Talk about some timing !
