3U2930 is a 1951 #112 Grader Engine s/n
Thank you Mr. Magnet. Would that indicate to you that this engine was originally in a 212 grader but then transplanted to the crane later?
Was that a common practice in that era?
Yes, engine swapping is pretty typical. That's a 112 grader, 212 uses the D311.
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.
