I found this CAT 20 a few miles from home. I've lived in this area for 40 years. I had no idea this tractor was here. It goes to show you just when you think all the good finds are gone something pops up. Never give up the search for yellow gold (or gray). The manifold is original and is the best I've ever seen. The gas tank, carburetor, brass plates, and radiator sides and tanks came with it. Someone stole the radiator core. Plus, the motor turns free. Frank

FireCat,
Great score, and thanks for the pics. A friend just brought a Twenty into the shop for Cat Night repairs. We popped it off two weeks ago:D . Great find

Hello Frank, Nice find, it even has a nice Sylphon Oil pressure gauge. It was nice seeing you, Wally and Bill up in Woodland. See you at Don's Barbecue. Joe

Frank, you and Wally have good noses. I havent been able to find anything around here in a long time. The 20 Greg passed on to me a while ago looked real good until the owner decided she still had sentimental feelings for her dad's old crawler. Thats after I had done a little work on it to try to help free its engine. To bad for you because it has what looks to be a good radiator. Hope all is going well up there.

Karl,
Good to hear from you. I've got a few more tractors since you've been here last. If you get a chance, stop by. Frank
