What is the serial number? They changed engines around 1960 and if it has the 318 engine it is a 1959 or earlier. Engine in 1960 was D333.
#12 with D318 about 22,400 lb and with D333 about 24,400 lb not including scarifier etc.
Hello D4Jim sn: 8T17408 so I believe it’s between 1957-1959?
1955
Well didn’t end up getting this one but will find another thank you for the info.
212 Motor Grader shipping weight just under 14,000 lbs. with scarifiers adding just under 1,000 pounds.
What am I missing on the weight that makes the #12E 9,000 pounds heavier?

The whole frame is larger. Lots of iron there. The 6 cyl engine vs 4 cyl. I believe they share the same cabs but could be wrong.
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.

"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."
