I came across a Cat 16G advertised for sale recently, at least the owner said it is a "G" model. The weird part is that it has the old mechanical lift arms for the blade. I was under the impression that the G's all had hydraulic cylinders for the blade elevation. Am I all wet, or is he trying to pull a fast one? I have not gotten the serial # from him yet. I have not seen the machine in person yet, as it is quite a distance from me. I have only seen pictures.
As far as I know, the 16G was the first all hydraloic blade built by Cat, I think in 74? The old 'knuckle buster' 16's serial number pre- fix was 49G if Im not mistaken. That could be what the seller has posted. Where did you find it? Is it a local dealler or on a equipment site? Any pics? Jason
Here she be, in all her um............glory?
Well its a good looking old 16, but its definitely not a G model! That would be a 49G serial pre-fix machine, where as the 16G is a 93U pre-fix, and all hydraulic. Sounds like the seller is a bit confused!
That picture brings back alot of good memoryies.I spent alot of time on those old 16,they had plenty of power.
Anybody want to venture a guess as the value of it? assuming that everything works. I do know that it needs tires pretty badly(BIG $).
hard to tell without seeing it in person
Whats the guy want, 80 or 90,000 bucks?
He wants an offer.
I would say it might be worth $8,000 to $10,000 if it is in running condition. Then again, it is not my $$ one way or the other, just my opinion.
Yea I was thinking somewhere around 10
