Hi
I came across this video

, I haven´t looked that closely at Russian dozers so far, but to me this old T100 looks VERY much like the old Cat D7 3T, both inside and out, and sounds pretty much the same, it seems like they "borrowed" or inherited the blueprints from Caterpillar. Does anyone know any more about this? At least I have never heard of Caterpillar being made in Russia.

I remember seeing photos of what would have been Cat 60's which were supposed to have been built under license in Russia from Caterpillar.

This one I don't know about.
The ruskies have been known to copy things too.

T100 is one of the model numbers that the Russians use on their dozers but that is definately a Cat D7 copied by somebody putting along on three cylinders looking for an operator.LOL.Ron G
