The grader is listed as a #44 grader & production started in 1937 according to the Cat SNID book but the engine year is blank & not listed as to what year it was first produced.That,s all I have on it.
Thats the best info Ive been able to get ever, can you tell me more or send be more pictures? Thanks alot.

Kinda like this one. We pulled this one out of the brush a few weeks ago. The engine was replaced with a Wisc years ago. Owner still has orginial engine. Note the optional siting pin above the front pedistal, a farmer add on. I have to try and help him get this going I will post some other pictures from the farm later. The number on this grader is 8H761.

Thanks for the info and the pics. on the Cat 44. I never knew they made a #44 with a power ubit on it. I learned something new.
I have a #44 that was my first ever restoration. It is like your first kiss, you never forget it. Thanks, Steve

"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."
