| Hi, I have read that there were HD7s in lend lease and HD11 in the pacific theatre. Were all of them cable operated blades or were any of them ever loaders? |

Interesting article, Steve. HD11 wasn't produced until 1955. |

I believe that HD7 W HD10 W and HD14 W where used in ww2 also WM crawlers were used as i have a service book for the M crawlers 1st edition with the U S war department order numbers on it.Also they were fitted with either a Carco C c u or Baker over head unit with front or rear mounted hydraulic pump, and equipped with la-plant choat blade? The WM crawler came equipped with and i quote Carco model e winch, 3 Man Seat.

OK thanks for the info. My mistake on HD14 instead of HD11. I like the way they looked in the olive drab paint. My HD5 is too new, but it is needing a repaint and I am thinking of painting it this way instead of orange or yellow. Just think it would look cool and stand out.
