In need of a pinion plate for my 212 grader pony motor. Cat part number is 2A3623. Cat has them new, but I can't afford the price right now, hours cut at work. If anyone has a good used one, let me know. I was just going to rotate mine to a good spot, but it has cracks all the way around.

Here's a pile of used and aftermarket ones:

Thanks Don. I'm hoping to locate one substantially cheaper than the $135 average most of those places are asking.

I may have one in a 4G D4. I don't have a parts book for this carcass, though, so I don't now for sure whether that would be the same part as your 212.

If memory serves correctly, this the plate that the pony clutch adjusting ring engages, is that right?

Maybe someone on here could look up that part number for a 4G D4. I'll be out by it again tomorrow night and will see if that part is still on the tractor. If it is, and it is the right part number, I'll cover you for it.

Same part # on the 4G.

That is correct, it is the plate the adjusting ring engages. Thanks GP

Thanks OM, for verifying the part number.

Thanks, Magnet.

I'm about 99% sure that part is on the machine. I didn't make it out there last night, but should make it tonight. I'll probably have to wait until Sunday to pull it if it is there and show you condition.

Pete.
