How CATERPILLAR Changed the Course of World War II
What if I told you Caterpillar didn’t just make tractors - they helped bulldoze the path to American victory in World War II? From tanks to battlefield machinery, Caterpillar’s innovations weren’t just about farming; they were instrumental in defeating the Axis powers. But how did one company's machines become hidden heroes of the war? And specifically, how did they alter the course of World War II?

You forgot that our communist government had a role play in the 80s to about plants closing, as they wanted to have some of our manufacturing things go across the big pond and let the fourth world countries do work. Not caring about all the billions of people they put in unemployment line.

The WD45s are gone as well as the crawler we had but still have a collection left, B, C, D17, D19s both gas and turbo diesel and a newly aquired 210 turbo diesel. All still being used although for smaller work.

Used to ride that thing all over the country, we used it about every year to pull the hayride wagon. Great memories. My uncle and little brother both worked for AC at one time in Springfield Illinois. That plant is completely gone now.

    Bucyrus-Erie's operation for a long time was closed to the public as far as tours went. Prior to 2010 they built a visitor's office and started to conduct tours of the facility. I was on one of the first of those tours conducted by some of the highest ranking official at the plant. As we entered the plant there was a huge bull gear presented as a display. I asked the Plant Manager that was running clean up at the back of the tour if we would see that manufacturing process along our visit. I was told "no". About 2/3rd of they way on the tour, he stepped over and signaled me to follow him. He took me to the largest shaver/shaper possibly in existence. There it was, cutting the gear faces on a twelve foot diameter blank wheel. The operator stepped down to tell me this was a multiple day job to cut that gear. Instead of moving the gear in the tool, the tool was mounted to the gear and was reattached after cutting three teeth. Huge machine. The other thing that has stuck was the plate welding operation. Two men were pre-heating the area to be welded as another man did the actual weld. This was on sheet steel that looked to be six inches thick. The ends were cut at an angle and he was filling the void as he welded. Obviously a high skilled work force in this operation.

    Through my grandfather's eyes, I saw farming transition from horses to tractors. His first tractor was a C, followed by a WD and then WD 45. I used that WD 45 for 5 years when I rented the farm in 1977. Naturally, always had a soft spot for AC. Was sad to witness the decline.

    I grew up on Allis-Chalmers. Granddad bought the first WD45 in about 54. In about 55 Dad bought a WD45 diesel. Then we moved on to D17s. Dad got his in the fall and we used it to grind ear corn for cattle all winter and Granddad got his in the spring. Turned out that the two tractors were one serial number apart, tho. We passed on the D19 and Dad waited for the 190 and it had a serial number ending in 0003. Then in about 69 I bought a 190XT. Later I owned a 200 and then a 210. Like I said I spent a lotta years with Allis-Chalmers. Never owned a Gleaner, tho. Their idea of a combine and mine never lined up. Funny that they don’t mention the extremely innovative Allis-Chalmers fuel cell tractor in the piece.

He regularly noted that AC built great tractors that differed from JD in their rugged simplicity. JD Corp recognized AC’s tractor prowess n regular annual successes at the famous Nebraska Testing grounds that was essentially the industries stamp of approval since no tractor nor implement could NOT be sold in Nebraska if it did NOT pass their rigorous standards! If a tractor company failed the Nebraska Test, it was back to the drawing boards! All tractor companies built competitive machines…White, AC, Oliver, IH, MM, JD, Cockschutt, Case, Massey Ferguson, Ford, et al…they all introduced innovative tractor designs n features! To say AC sucked is a myopic viewpoint!
