212 Graders: 9T 359 and 9T 4161

For scrap price how can you go wrong?? Wish we had some scrap Cats here in Kansas.

Well, I can’t argue your point, even with scrap prices up.

Looking into it more here on ACMOC I think the engines are D311’s. Not much matching my D4 as far as I can tell. Good match for a D2 I think.

With both machines maybe I can get the #359 operational. The guy that has them is top notch-I’m hoping to get over to see them tomorrow.

even if you get it working and on sell it yourself. never know you might be able to horse trade it for a machine our parts you need.

I might add .. in an earlier post on the D318 in a No. 12 Motor Grader was slightly different from D318's built for other applications. I'm not 100% sure but I think it had to do something with the crank.
I believe it was Old Magnet that made the post... I know the 9T's with the D311 are different but worth looking into.
 here are some like No.212 Motor graders that are of the same ilk.
Good luck

Interesting location for that starter motor. Could you get a shot of the other side so we can see how it's arranged? Doesn't seem to be anywhere near the flywheel. Perhaps it engages with the existing pinion assembly somehow?
