parts and pieces for my 212 grader

Your grader will have a D3400 engine, also used in the J series D2 tractors, which could have an original bypass filter or have been converted to a full flow version or even have had a factory full flow version. If you will do a search on here or over on ACME, there has been a lot of discussion on how to determine which you have and how to convert a bypass to a full flow. I would start with taking whatever is in it out and looking for numbers, but check it out carefully, because there have been some show up which were not properly converted and they do not function as either kind! Here's an excellent resource Ron (OzDozer) put up over on ACME's "submissions" archives.

The D2 tractor specs show 13 quarts of oil. Your grader should be similar. Pony motor takes 1 quart and you've got a couple of oil bath air breathers to clean as well, so I would start off with 5 gallons.

If you could find some military tread 24.5's that should set you up pretty well. Might check with Gensco. They usually have military surplus or recaps with that tread.

Still it's hard to beat free!

Sorry, I can't help on the part numbers.

I traded our 9T 212 off and the manuals went with it, so I can't help on the cutting edge part numbers. Lots of times, you can go from the hole spacing, thickness and width to get one aftermarket or we can sometimes get take-offs from the county that are still wide enough to do what we need. A CAT dealer should be able to look it up for you if you can't find it by the dimensions.

Yes, the 9F5124 fits the 212 grader, uses the 2D5572 or 6Y5230 tooth.
This is a front notched shank, they also have a rear notched version 5B0947 depending on what your machine uses.

All use the same wedge #1D3537.
