Grader, 112 or 12

Hi, Lil Cat Mec.
12 has six cylinders, 112 has only four. Can it get much simpler?

Just my 0.02.

haha how are you Deas, i was starting to miss your humor lol!

I havent seen it up close, ill get some pictures and post within the weekend!

12 has D6 engine, 112 has D4 engine, and the little 212 has the D2 engine. All can have ponies based on the year.

PS. If I was that guy I would not lend the other gentleman any more equipment.

also where are the serial numbers located? motor and grader?

Hi, Lil Cat Mec.
Mostly on left side front of frame just ahead of the scarifier mount and on right side of engine block toward the rear - flywheel - end of the donk.

If you get it and decide to get all enthusiastic and want to 'tighten it up a bit', there is a list of adjustments and how to perform them in the tech. library on this site. DON'T laugh! They are adjustable and I have seen blokes who had operated the same Cat 12 for NINE years and still didn't know there was any adjustment, let alone how many adjustments or how to do them.

CAUTION!!!!!!!!! Operator ASLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!

Just my 0.02.

Thinking that in Washington, it may or may not have had a snow plow side wing on it. I didn't see the lift attachment in the pictures so it may not have. In this country 95% of the older Cat 12s had plows and nearly all of them have a cracked or usually broken main frame on the left side while sitting in the seat. They broke about a foot in front of the cab from hitting hard objects with the wing while plowing snow in road gear. Some are found repaired correctly while many are twisted up. Always worth looking for on the old machines. The old girl looks like a saver in the pictures.

Deas, i will be tightning it up, ill get the serial number here shortly. I don't recall it having a wing on it, how hard would it be to fabricate? I can investigate more on the frame, it doesnt concern me, i can either fish plate it and or v it and weld it along with a plate on the inside.

what serial variation does this appear to be "if you can tell form the pictures" also approx year? im not too up on my graders

Most likely an 8Txxxx model

would anyone by chance have a picture of the snow wing? also were there rippers for an option? front or rear?
