In the late 60's, I worked with a Cat motor grader referred to as a model "10". It had a 4-cyl diesel engine, 10' moldboard, and tandem rear wheels. Operators called it a "kitty' because it was too small to be a Cat. I thought it was probably a 1950's vintage. I am wondering - was "10" the correct model, and is there any info on them?

No, it looked just like a 12, just smaller.

The Model 112 is a smaller 12 with the 4 cyl diesel.

The "10" designation went away in 1940.
Then came the "12"
Shrink it some and you had the 112 (D4 engine)
Shrink it again and you had the 212 (D2 engine)

All 40's and 50's models.

Testimonials

"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."
