The first prototype was built by Ikegai Auto Corporation under the military order in 1944 during the World War II. Later, Ikegai was acquired by Komatsu, and Ikegai's ZS series was succeeded by Komatsu's GD series. GD25-1 was the same model as Ikegai's ZS31 and ZS32 with only a different name. it may need a slight name change here the exaust looks like same position as main one , unfortunatly this are the only pics of this machine -- Last edit: 2022-10-06 19:09:56
