i Always heard that the machine cat made between the 225 and the 235 : the 231 was not that good, bad of both worlds , so consider an other option if you have that.... goodluck!!!
The 231 is a 225 with the smoke screw turned up on a 235 under carriage which if badly worn would indicate a lot of hours on it. If you want production from an old piece of constructon equipment be prepared for some expensive repairs
Both are in the 18K $ range
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"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."
