This was a great surprise for me in Overloon. It's a rare WW I italian artillery tractor, designed by Ugo Pavesi:

I've seen quite a few Pavesi tractors in the past, including one in Switzerland and another in Sinsheim, but they are later models:

First time ever I see such an older model. It's in great shape too

Dear Massimo, Overloon's tractor Pavesi-Tolotti probably been in service with the Italian Expeditionary Corps, which fought in France in 1918.

I am afraid we can just guess. Pavesi's tractors were used a lot by civilians too. Pavesi himself never really like to work for the military, he designed his machines with agricultural usage in mind and he sold more to civil than military customers.

What kind of Caterpillar is this? I suspect it could be an early D7, but I am not sure:

Caterpillar by Massimo Foti, on Flickr

On my own gallery it is labelled as "Allis Chalmers HD15A" but I don't remember where I got it identified.

Wikipedia seems to confirm :
