I found a real antique, a 1937 Cat 11 with the d6600 3 cylinder

And no pony motor.
Where they have it they just pull start it with something.
It's no jewel. It probably needs some rubber but the force is strong.

Need pics.

I won't be able to get any. I don't have a Facebook account. I was mooching off my wife's account.
You can go search for it in Oregon Facebook marketplace.

Can you take a pic. of the Facebook page? I'm not set up on Facebook.

I'll have to create an account. You can just look anymore.

 

[skyking1]

must be a canada thing.

 

[Welder Dave]

I think since new ownership or something. Used to be able to look but not reply or post.

What a classic find, and still in such good original condition, too!

 

[Welder Dave]

That is something worth restoring especially since it runs and works.

 

[skyking1]

45 hp and 18000 pounds. I'd hate to climb much of a hill with that.

 

[Welder Dave]

How much torque?

 

[OzDozer]

Enough torque to pull off a steam train. She was built in the days when torque was spelt with a Capital "T".

Gearing is more the problem. It took Cat about 25 years to figure out that more gears was better in a grader. The #11 only had 4 FWD gears and 1 REV.

 

[skyking1]

No clue, it can be figured out. It would not win any races, 10 Mph top speed in 4th gear.

 

[OzDozer]

10.8 mph actually - I even have a 1936 sales brochure for the #11 Auto Patrol.

In fact, I have two brochures for the machines, one is a later edition than the other, and the operating weight went up 1,550 lbs between the two versions.
The early brochure says 17,000lbs operating weight, the later one says 18,550lbs operating weight.

I can see no difference in the specifications otherwise, so I guess Cat must have heavied up a few castings.

 

[Welder Dave]

It was pretty heavy in its time.

 

[skyking1]

18' wheelbase. It would take a dual tandem gooseneck to go get it, and a dually truck. My SRW tops out at 15K.

 

[OzDozer]

The cabin was no doubt an expensive extra-cost option, back in the day.

 

[Welder Dave]

It even lists piston speed. Pretty advanced manufacturing for 1936.
