CaTeRPiLLaR Diesel D-2 TRACTOR 1938 ad - reprint

Description

The “Caterpillar” Diesel D-2 Tractor
, originally published by Caterpillar Tractor Co., Peoria, Illinois, 1938. Reproduced by Nation Builder Books, Mebane, NC, 2010. 8½ x 11 paperback, 30 pages.
Please note this is a new, photoduplicated reproduction, NOT an original ad. The front and back covers have been reproduced in color, but all the inside pages are in black and white.
A great original piece of Caterpillar literature like this, would easily fetch much more than 0.00, probably more like 0.00. But this is a REPRODUCTION, so it’s much, much less.
The various photos and drawings of the Cat Diesel D-2 and its components come out very clear, and should be of tremendous aid to anyone doing a restoration of one of these venerable old Cats.
Just to be clear, let me reiterate that this is an advertisement for the 1938 Cat Diesel D-2. It is NOT an operator’s manual, or a service manual, or a parts list. This is just an advertising booklet, chock full of great pics and illustrations that will warm the heart of any collector of Caterpillar, or construction machinery. I had thought it was from 1931, because someone had written in pencil “1931” on the first page, but a Cat enthusiast on eBay politely corrected me that the D-2 did not come out until 1938.
Please note that this is a PHOTOCOPIED reproduction of the 1938 original (it might be a year or more after 1938, also; I can find no date printed on the original. The accompanying images were scanned from a reprint, not the original.
