cat 66 pull blade

The Cat #66 pull grader was built in two models from late 1932 or early 1933 to early 1942, when all pull grader construction was ended, in favor of motor grader and crawler production, to support the War effort.

The first model of the 66 was available in hand control and power control and wore a 6C S/N prefix. This model was built from 1933 to 1937 and it was built with double frame rails.

The second model was an entirely new model with a single frame rail, but was still called the 66 - but it was referred to as the "Single frame" model 66.

This second model wore the 5E prefix and also came in hand control and power control models. Both models had the option of steel or rubber tires.

Not sure on the total numbers built, but it would be in the thousands, as they were a fairly cheap purchase compared to a motor grader.

I'd have to say your 5E326 is probably 1937 year of build, but someone may have more info than me.

Gonna go with 1937 another question what tractor or hp did they have in mind with the 66.

note, if your grader has the original big hand wheels it did not come with the power control option. those bigger pullgraders are awesome.

foot throttle!, i didn't know this.
