Hello 

This Grease Bucket.  Sent over from Peoria   Arrived in burlap caterpillar  new old stock packaging..  Worthy to Restore   back to factory.

 What Year was this produced ?     I am thinking late 1920's ,,  Or Did Caterpillar Still sell these grease buckets,  when going to Caterpillar Yellow, Did Caterpillar keep there Own Grease buckets in Caterpillar Gray ?.

That style would be from the mid forties to 1960, maybe a little later. Decaling wouldn't be correct.

Other than paint color that would be 50;s until ................................... Does Cat still sell a bucket pump for rollers?

The earlier Alemite bucket type pumps Cat sold had a cast handle. I don't know if the base is cast or not but heavier duty looking. There are threads on the site about the very early grease pumps. One was a bucket on 3 legs with a hand crank rather than leaver like your showing.

***I second that one Mr. 17A Farmer!  I decided to lube my 1115 JD Killefer disc, along with a Goble drag disk, and my IH drag ridger, which were parked at my mothers farm in the center of town. Uggghhhh.... I thought to myself why someone did not invent a holder or such on an implement, so you would not have to lug that miserable thing around. The one I used, was the later style with the stamped handle, which I think is a little bit lighter than the cast handled one. They get lighter as you pump out the lube! LOL Glad I don't have to do this for a living anymore. JM***

They were great in the heat of the afternoons! MESSY is just start of the adjectives used for them.
If one tired to grease the rollers, disc etc in the early morning it was a real challenge. That "lube" did not flow to the pump and you resorted to the picking the unit up and pounding the ground with it to get the grease settled around the pump intake.
One soon learned, park it in the sun and lube at the end of the day!

When my uncle bought a Twenty-Two new, one came with it. I believe a fellow member has it in his collection now.

Thank You for the replies.  I was simply thinking a grey Caterpillar Bucket was like same has the tractor colour change in 1931 to yellow.  Now I see your grey bucket with the Cat E Box logo.Question when was the Cat Logo E Box Used ?   My Tripod Unit Actually has the same Oil Pump Gears as my Best 30 Engine Oil Pump. Found this out after remanufacturing  New oil pump gears for back to a CLB  Blue Print from Cat Inc

Best Machine Project.I learn something new every day LOLSo what Model of Tripod Grease Pump do you Have  ?If you don’t ask a Question, How can you expect an Answer  Smile.Catman

Hah! I wanted to say that looked like real gold leaf. My sign painter puts a protective coating on it, otherwise it will wear off? No cranking on that handle! JM

Rome and Catman, we bought parts and a new pump from Westrac our local cat dealer about 3 years ago, the same style as the last picture in Romes post, the colour of the inside colour of cat trucks roughly 793d series possibly 793f is an in-between colour to the first pictures of catman and Romes

"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."
