I think Caterpillar must be one of the most famous names to come out of USA. I bet their machinery is used world wide.

I think Caterpillar must be one of the most famous names to come out of USA. I bet their machinery is used world wide. Alas, that name may soon fade into history --- I recently read somewhere that unrealistic tree-hugger emission laws have caused Caterpillar to quit building their own engines.
Another engine building giant, General Electric, has quit most of their engine production; I think the only thing they produce now are marine engines.
I wish we would stop all this "environmental greenie" foolishness --- Diesel fumes and black Coal smoke never hurt anybody, if it did I would already be dead.
