I all ways wanted to get my hands on an old (GOOD NICK ) 16 G and whack a 12V71 in the old girl.
Jesus they pushed good with the old slug cat motor but a 500 HP GEMMY now thats another story.

yes it will. remove engine and 2 cyl spacer and fit 6cyl engine. the spacer is the reason why the 130 holds more tranny oil than the 140

The 130G was the most gutless grader Cat ever built, in the articulated versions. They're simply a maintenance grader, yet Cat sold them as a replacement for the knuckle-buster Cat 12E's.

the 130g was the closest thing to heaven if you had just got off an old 21f. doing irriation drains.
i didnt care if i had to push it along,the fact that it had good hydraulics was good enough for the change.
in all fairness to them you had to whip them along with plenty of revs which we wernt used to and we were too heavy handed on the hydraulic blade which we also werent used to.
