I just bought a motor grader. Not sure of model but need info on pony motor, and machine, model and year. SN is 8T17733. Any info would be helpful. Thank you. cw
Hey neighbor ! Im not a grader guru but i looked it up in the cat performance book and it looks like a 12 ,years 47-55 hp 100. Hope this helps .
8T is a no. 12 grader... an awful dependable one at that.... what do ya need to know about it?
ive got a 1953 no 12. Im amazed at performance in a 60 year old machine. doesnt burn oil, starts on the coldest days. its a testament.
I have a 'moden' one a 12E it always starts and keeps going. Just a while ago we completed a large job with it and a D47u and the combined age of the two machines is a hunded and nine years!! The pair of them are likely to live longer than me. Cant exactly remember but wasnt the pony on them the same as the D6?? I sure there is someone who knows a lot more than me out there.
I am just looking for an operators manual, parts book possibly, but most importantly, parts for the pony so I can get it going again.
Check ebay for the books,,, you may find them there.
Service Manual Pro. com look in classic machine section. There site says they will print the manuals and ship. I looked for your serial number and it was on there list. Hope this helps
