Caterpillar D6A

[Alex van de Wetering]

I agree....what a find......and not 1, but 3 CATs, sounds like the project has got very serious!
Thanks for sharing the pictures Jakko. I hope Willem will drop by to tell us more about the project and his exiting finds!

The intention is to put the armoured cab back onto this one, probably by fabricating a complete replacement and fitting it instead of the cut-down one that’s still on the vehicle now (the real one, of course, will be saved as well).

Personally I would try to complete this one by welding in the missing pieces, rather than making a complete repro set of armour......it would be a shame not to use as much of the original as possible and it's certainly no disgrace if one can see where new sections were welded in.....it would tell an interesting part of it's history!
