nice find is it for sale? if so for parts or not?😕 i would really like those engine and grille gaurds and the precleaner the aircleaner bottom and holding arms.😊
if you are keeping it though nice to see it's not out there rotting away and got saved😄
I've seen a lot of worn-out stuff in 40 years, but that wear pattern on that pulley is about the coolest....😎
Yeah, that pulley is cool enough to hang on the wall. Call it a "conversation piece".😄
That fan looks like it runs backward.
Are the remains of the part numbers that were cast into the pulley casting the shadows?
This old Cat had a home made blade on it in the past. In bull dozing burning stump/slash piles, it is a common practice to install a reverse fan blade that pushes rather than pulls. The reverse blade keeps the smoke, flames and dirt out of the radiator and away from the operator. I have seen several Cat fan blades that the pitch of the blades can be quickly reversed with the twist of a spanner wrench.
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."
