I am in West Texas and have a No. 66 Caterpillar grader (hand controlled version) built in 1937 at East Peoria, Illinois. The serial number is #7H 33.
At the time it was built (early in the year), it was paired with the RD8 and RD7diesel-powered tractors and the Model Fifty gasoline powered tractor.
The cost of a No. 66 Grader in 1937 was $1,785.
I have received all of this information through a certified archivist with Caterpillar through photos I've emailed and conversations with her.
My question....What would this Grader potentially be worth? Does anyone have an idea? I will email pictures per request.
Thanks,
Matt Etheredge
