Cat 246 Skidsteer Year?

Metalman 55 ยท 2017-04-25 14:32

We just purchased this used Cat 246 skidsteer, just to be used for cleanup work & shuttling our paint wagon in & out of the paint shop & I wanted to ask if anyone has access to identifying the year of this unit from the ser #? Also, the ser # tag seems to indicate it may be a "C" model, as a C follows the model number? The ser # is CAT00246C5SZ07730. We bought this unit very reasonably priced in an "as is" condition.

    Would these yellow buttons on the RH lever be for aux hydraulics?

    Yes, those buttons activate the hydraulics on the boom. On the left side overhead there's a toggle that locks the hydraulics on to operate rotary equipment.
