I'm a huge fan of Komatsu equipment. Stumbled across this tractor a few months ago,didn't save it,just spent two day searching on the internet for it again. At the time I had no idea these existed.

Wonder how many were manufactured and why they weren't more popular ?

Here's a video & photo .

Hello HD41,
I never realized Komatsu had been in business for that long.......That tractor is extremly well kept for his age.The front end had a modern design for a machine from the early 60's.....
Nice find and thanks for sharing.

I am looking for industrial auction brochures from Ritchie Bros, Miller & Miller, Forke Bros, First Team Auction, Max Rouse, etc from the 70's, 80's and 90's.I am a collector and heavy equipment enthusiast and these pamphlets are loaded with nice pictures of cleaned and freshly painted equipment.Thet don't have much value once the sale is over but they are a great help to me in preserving the memory of machines that are no longer being built.Please, help my hobby by looking in your old storage boxes and file folders for these old auction sale brochures.Your help is much appreciated.
