What was the smallest motor grader Cat made? Did they make one smaller than the 212? When did 212 production start and end? Thanks, LB

The earliest one I show in my book is a 1M & came out in 1939 & a 79C the latest from USA in 1954 & a 95C came out in 1955 & was made in AU the book says.That is all I have & no finishing time for the 212s.I wasn,t aware of any smaller motor graders that Cat made than the 212s unless someone else has more on it.

The information I have shows the #10 and #15 Motor Patrols (Half track arrangement of a grader on a Caterpillar tractor) which were produced in 1930 and the #7 Auto Patrol which was one of CAT's first ground up motor grader designs, and the #9 and # 10 which followed from 1932-1940 were the only graders that weighed less or about the same as the various 212 series that was produced from 1939-1957 as SJ said.

The weight listed for the #7 at 10,000 some odd pounds doesn't make a whole lot of sense since the size and HP specs are practically the same as the #9
