The Caterpillar D7 series medium bulldozer began service
with the U.S. military during World War II. Its primary role is earth moving but
it was used in a host of other roles e.g. mine clearing with a special flail
adapter kit and in this case – an armoured dozer with protected cab for the
driver.
The dozer was the primary earth mover for construction of
survivability positions and antitank ditches. It had to be transported by trailer
due to its poor mobility. During WW II, the D7 was one of the bulldozers
collectively known as "Tractor, Heavy, M1." Equivalent tractors were
produced during WW II by Allis-Chalmers Co. (Model HD10W, G-98) and
International Harvester Co. (Model TD18, G-101). About one thousand Caterpillar
D7s were also produced by American Car & Foundry under license when WW II
military orders exceeded Caterpillar's capacity.
