Hi guys, I'm looking for some general specs. on an 82-20 B like HP, wieght, which engine they used 6V53 or 6V71, maybe years in production. Always had a thing for the T-Rex's, just liked the way they wer built and now I have a chance to buy a 20 thats in awsome shape, but I would like to have some info so I can compare it to other machines as I also have a soft spot for IH TD-15's and 20's. Not realy interested in CAT as they have always been bringing up the rear in inovation. Thanks, Turbo............
82-20 first production model unveiled in July 1973 powered by GM 6V-71T rated @208 gross hp and 180fwhp, in 1976 upgraded to 232 gross and 205 fwhp and in 1982 the model identification was changed from the 82-20B to the Terex D700A. Pretty much in the same class as HD 16 , D7 E,F and TD20 C.
Thanks, Thats some pretty impressive power for a cat that is about the same sizewise as a D6. now that I think about it its sort of inbetween a 6 & 7 This one is a later machine as it has the d700A stencilled on the hood.
cat brings up the rear in innovation? can you explain this statement?
You can purchase D700 Terex literature on ebay...... http://cgi.ebay.com/Terex-D700A-D80...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27ae6c2eb2 I have an 82-40 , Terex had a fine series of Dozers, just to bad the line was discontinued , I always thought Terex new management made a bad business decision.
Yes its a shame. My nieghbor has a 82-40 and I love running it, it has the speed of something like a JD 550 with more wieght and power than a D8 and very comefortable on steep round.
All true.... the 8240 is a well balanced machine. Weight and power with ease of control. Terex and other American manufacturers fell victim to cheap foreign labor, corporate raiders and international banking schemes. .
