My friend Jan Hofmann was to the Russian Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant for the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the factory.
Bit by bit there is more information on the beginning.
Caterpillar sold ±1350 Sixty tractors to Russian in the 1920, and they like them a lot .
Russian engineers came to Detroit to make a deal for building there on tractors.
Caterpillar engineers even help in building the first production line , and in 1933 the Stalinet- 60 get in action.
later cam the S65 with a diesel engine.
In 1946 the Cat D7 was copy to the S80.
This tractor was very popular and became later in the 1960 the S100.
