    Looks like we need another clue.

    It is a grader and I am pretty sure it is a Caterpillar. Is there an 8M model? A chap down here is advertising an S8T Caterpillar grader for sale. Rn'R.

    Any idea on how old?

    This is very much a guess, but I would say the late thirties. Rn'R.

    Could be. I was thinking early 40's but have no idea.

    Figures, I am traveling & can not post the rest of the pictures till I get back next month. Looks like this old girl is not in bad shape. It would make a nice restro project.
