Experienced tractor MAZ / KZKT-545

As part of this task realization, wheeled tractor MAZ-545 was created in DDB-1 of Minsk Automobile Plant in the late 60-ies. Designers from Minsk have created two basic modifications - truck tractor MAZ-545 and ballast tractor MAZ-545a.  Both versions of the truck were made in 1969-1970-th on Wheel Tractor Plant in Kurgan (KZKT).

Both trucks were made on the basis of MAZ-537, but got a new original 4-door 8-seat cabin (however, the new cabin was a lengthened cabin from 537-th). But the main difference of new tractors was the use of the new engine - V-shaped diesel engine B-38, B-2 family.
