Cat 22 for sale

Cat 22 for sale was created by Cat Spotter
Cat 22 that I've owned since 1983. Am moving soon and it's time for a new home. SN 2F170. Has shopbuilt hydraulic 3-point hitch. Worn grousers (used in gravely soil working a citrus grove by previous owner), but remainder of undercarriage is in decent condition. Was been used by me in the '80's and '90's maintaining a small citrus acreage. Has not run lately, been sitting for a long time. The last time I drove it twelve years ago the engine ran strong and did not smoke. The transmission, finals, and steering clutches operated fine. Current condition is the engine is loose and free, and will kick on starting fluid. Known problems now are carb has a float valve issue and leaks gas, engine clutch is frozen up (have tried starting it in gear with steering clutch levers pulled back and operating it with sharp, braked turns, but clutch hasn't broken loose), and tractor needs a new seat. Non-original mag, fuel tank selector controls missing, has the steel spark plug cover, no engine curtains. Located in Monrovia, CA (near Pasadena, near Los Angeles). $2,500.

Hi Richard,
were any of the 3-pt parts originally on some other machine - it looks pretty good for shop-built. I'd like 3-pt on my 3J one day...

Cheers,
Neil

Thanks for correcting my brain fart, Walt.

Neil, I shopbuilt everything on the 3-point out of steel from our farm scrap pile. Roughly designed to Category II specs, except I had to fudge the top link mounting point a little and implements don't rise in a perfectly parallel plane. I shortened a backhoe cylinder for the lift ram; the lift arms and lower links are fabricated weldments; the seat back hydraulic reservoir was made from 1/8" plate; much of the support frame from 2x4 tubing; and a commercial hydraulic pump and valving were used. Works fairly well, except when using a really heavy implement like a disk, the tractor tips back significantly when raised.

Chris, the bracket once mounted a big canister fuel filter which I eventually replaced with an in-line filter.

I like it. A 22 has been on my bucket list for a long time. Does it have a pto? I can't tell in the photo's. What does it weigh?

OIH - No PTO. Weight (including 400 lbs of hitch), maybe 6,700. - Richard
