With the open stacks engine,s will be rusted tight....WA7OPY
I'm sure it will be locked down tight but it is located only about 15 miles from me so it is worth the drive to at least check it out. Who knows why it was abandoned when it was all the land owner could say about it was he knows nothing about it he his an investor has no knowledge of equipment.
Looks like a "Galion" brand name in the one picture.
I not sure if that is a manufacture branding or possibly the name of the contractor who owned it since it looks to be painted on it. I will know more when I actually lay eyes on it.
Galion is a manufacturer of construction equipment.
D46U straight blade,D46U cat angle blade,allis chalmers AD4 grader and Khoering 404 dragline. D4C 40A,D4 2T and scraper.
yep it's a Galion. probably has a Detroit in it,it will start probably but better have some either. make sure you have a block of wood to cover the intake incase it runs away.
Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure i just had those two pictures to go off and a cat 12 was the closest thing i found to compare it too.
neat but i a going to say it not a cat as well just dose't look right. still might be worth saving
Hydraulic ram on scarifies. Definitely not a cat 12. Galions were junk. To get 10,000 hrs on a 1967 Cat 12, just change the oils. To get 10,000 hrs on a 1967 Galion, spend about 100,000 in parts and repair if you are dumb enough to keep the damn thing. Sorry to be so critical.
