Watching video on net of train of military and cat construction equipment. There were at least 4 large white machines with Komatsu on them . Here the announcer said that these loaders were at Cat to have Cat diesels installed.

SDBOB,
If that is true, either a mining or large construction company had them retrofitted. You can visit the Komatsu website and see what engines are in which wheel loaders.
WA800-3: Komatsu SAA12V140E-3
WA900-3: Komatsu SAA12V140E-3\
WA1200-6: Komatsu SDA16V160E-2

SDBOB,
Komatsu had/has a facility in Peoria, IL, so did someone not realize that and just assume it was coming from Caterpillar?

It's pretty unlikely they were coming from there. SDBOB, can you give us a link to the video you were watching? I'd really like to see it myself.

Thanks Bob, I see the video you are talking about now. I believe it's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjKXlWNZmwMThise aren't Komatsu loaders I'm afraid. Those are Komatsu haul trucks that are built in the Komatsu Peoria factory.
