Hmm. Could this be a small dozer like a Clark?

Or could be Australian?

A Clark dozer would have just a little bucket seat. This is bigger than a Clark. Which leaves it suspected as a Cat D4 or smaller?

The hood and cowl remind me of Allis-Chalmers HD10W.

so you made up your mind ? Allis or CAT ?

have you found a crawler with same track chassis and same box near the seat ?

one of the very few crawlers left unsolved

I say it's Allis-Chalmers because it has a cowl and no other make of crawler has a cowl.

As for whether it's a HD-7W or HD-10W, I say HD-7W, because it's my impression it's not a large crawler and it has only one air cleaner.
