CAT
41d257
933 A BullDozer
Caterpiller tractor CO
This is exactly how it is on the brass tag it is on upper right back side of blade standing behind it. The dozer blade is about 7 feet long and 2 feet tall, seen a lot of blades but seems have not seen to many like mine?
I know that it been said that Cat did not make there own but, any info would be great thanks clank clank, more info on th blade it has a cutting edge that can be un bolted and fliped to sharp side around it does go to the left and right with pins and all factory, no mods or unwelcome welds.

Have no information on the part number, but the 933 A bulldozer probably refers to the track loader first introduced in 1955 as the 933C. I suppose there might have been a dozer blade produced as an option for that machine vs the normal buckets which would have been used.

Any pictures? The standard 2S blade is a solid welded structure with no pins or ball joints at all, only trunions at the rear of the push arms and pins where the cylinder connectes on top. The 2A angle dozer blade has a "C" frame with a pivot in the middle of the front to allow the moldboard to be pivoted either left or right and pinned in that position. There was also a dozer available with the push arms detatchable, so that the moldboard could be removed and the push arms swung around to the rear so it could pull a toolbar to use various shanks, hippers, etc.

Does the moldboard show any modification to the attaching points on the back?

CAT's agreement with LeTourneau ended in 1944 probably as a result of the competition between CAT and LeTourneau in the earthmover category. LeTourneau had been producing pull scrapers for a long time to complement CAT tractors, but had begun producing self propelled scrapers which were first of a flood of machines that eventually dominated the market so much that a pull scraper is a rare beast to see in operation anymore.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

41d257 is the correct number for a 933A angle blade, it is basically the same, as the 2a bulldozer. It is a Caterpillar blade made for the 933, we would love to see pictures, the angle blade for the 933 is somewhat rare.

Hi Team,
from a Sales Brochure I got as an Apprentice at The Dealer back in 1962.
this is from Form No 617-32995-1 and Dated (5/59)
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

As I was reading all the responses, I was thinking I had seen years ago a picture of an angle blade under a raised loader bucket with arms extending down to lift the blade. At the time, I thought one would have to be careful on a slope as it looked top heavy! Sure enough, it is in the brochure posted by Eddie B. - item K.

I guess that part of my mind still works!

A 933 and a D2 are the same tractor.
This would leave me to believe that it isn't too much Blade for that tractor.
My LaPlante Choate is about the same size as in the Trax brohure.

It depends on how your D2 is set up, if your D2 has the long, five roller track frames and big idlers from a loader, it probably will handle ok, but will be underpowered and hard to turn. If it has the standard four roller frames and small idlers, that blade will be too much weight in the front to work smoothly. That being said, the 933 blade assembly is rare, was made for the long track frames and there are lots of people who would like to have that setup on their D2. It would be a better fit on a late U model D2.

Hi Team,
my sales sheet shows D2 50" gauge angle blade width is 97 1/2" and 23 3/4" high.
This means the 933 angle blade at 98 1/8" wide is 5/8" wider.
Cheers,
Eddie B.
