Need 1932 Cat Motor Grader Info

[Forcus]

Going to an auction this weekend with a 1932 Cat Motor Grader, gas. Single rear axle, dual wheels, engine frozen, has a cab. Just looking at it to tinker with but it may be too "big".

Does anyone know:

Approximate length
Approximate height
Approximate width
Approximate weight
Model Number
Value
Any other info?

Thanks in advance!!

Forcus this is just a rough outline of what you are looking at as there is no Serial No to work with, the Serial No I would expect to see on this old lady would start with 8A1 up,
Lenght over-all 252"
Height 127"
Width 88"
Wheelbase 193"
Weight without Scarifier 13,412 Lbs
Engine Bore 4"
Stroke 5 1/2"
RPM 1,100 with full load.
Price in the UK, Big Money !!!!! this grand old lady would be a very expensive thing to buy in the U.K. it must be a rare item even in the U.S.A. its old and one of the first graders built with all the looks , history, including great engineering, go for it this is as good as it gets,

TC, the serial number book does list it as an 8A & it,s listed as a 9 Auto Patrol & started production in 1931.

S.J. some time ago I bought 2 ledgers of a good size with all the parts/opps/repair info for Graders from the first terracers upto the 66/77 models, they are genuine CAT Ledgers for Early Products, full of every detail that is worth knowing, sadly they are wasted on me as I never get a chance to work on any Grader other than modern stuff. but I live in hope,(perhaps I should pass these books on to someone that has a good interest in Graders)

Thank you so much for the information guys. I had no idea it was so heavy. This precludes using a 3/4 ton truck and 12k trailer as I had intended (it would barely fit on anyways). Sounds like it is semi time.

I am hoping to get it for under $500. We will see.

Should have the same engine as the Model 20 crawler. With scrap metal prices as they are, could hit $500 fast. Hope you get it.
