My cat 922 had a warner and swazey detachable backhoe attachment installed on it when it was new in 1962.
The D4 78A1-up, 922 and 944 had a backhoe attachment. Probably the one Mike mentions.
Also the later D4D s/n 82/83J's had provision for hoe attachment.
Don't recall seeing one for the 955's but could be.
Old Magnet's parts book drawing is actually a Wain Roy Backhoe. See attached spec sheet.

muke hill can you post a pic of the Warner&Swaney backhoe if you have one
The early D3's and 931" had a detachable hoe.

I have a WEAR backhoe on my 933G. Easy to take off and put back on. Bucket hydraulics do not work when hydraulic flow is switched to backhoe.

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
