Robert, I have absolutely nothing in writing on the MRS. However I do know the Mississippi Road Supply (MRS) tractors were built in Flora, Mississippi, in a factory that was in some of the buildings at the Army Ammunition Plant at Flora after the war. I saw the plant several times either in the late 40's or early 50's but never went to it. They built tractors using the UD 14 and UD 18 power unit for the engine, to pull dirt scrapers, bottom dump dirt wagons, and other construction equipment. They were configured like the Cat DW 10.
I also think that MRS had another location, it might have been Pascagoula, but I am not sure, and built a few industrial locomotive locomotives and ships and some other things in addition to the Flora tractor plant. Harold H
