1953 Komatsu 300 Grader. Caterpillar didnt start manufacturing its vehicles in Japan until 1962, And if they did, It would be sold under a Komatsu model name, Like 300

I think this has been MIS ID

on this website in history section there is no such thing as 300 instead they had GD designation

further the main beam doesn't match with those of early Komatsu


instead if matches perfectly with CAT from that period including the 3 parts windshield like Ralph suggested

compare

so I suggest to put this as Caterpillar unknown

Cat could be a 112, 212 or 12. I never saw engine side covers on an old Cat grader.

there is this old prospect with engine covers,

this grader is surely a CAT notice the wheel on top of the pillar


notice also bottom sloped structure , where cabin begins, this really sure a CAT
