Don't waste your time.

They won't even be polite enough to answer a letter, much less to help.

Try and E mail [email protected] She is the archivist and was very helpfull when I was looking for the same info. It kinda depends on how old the dealership is now if it is still in buisness. A lot of stuff gets thrown out when records are updated and such. Unless someone had the foresight to save some things, it probably got trashed. If it was after the "War Years", and I think it was, there may be more information available from Caterpillar. GOOD LUCK!!

Shaper,
You might try contacting Wagner Equipment in Denver, CO. there are the Cat Dealer in the state. With that S/N and if it was from Colorado to start with, it was no doubt bought from McCoy Machinery Co. who sold out to Wagner, they may have saved the old sales records. Or, you might contact the Rocky Mountain Chapter #9 of the ACMOC those boys may have some information as well.

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."
