    I’ve got a 1948 model cat 12 grader. Pony motor was removed and converted to a 24 volt direct start. Even during the summer months the old D318 requires some ether. When nothing else on the place will start, that ole girl will start and run every single time. Great machines, it’s just takes 10 acres to turn them around 🤣

    • @DontbeWily

    My Father operated a open air knuckle buster Caterpillar 12 grader in the 60’s and 70’s, sometimes he would let me ride on it with him and remember how his arms got a workout on those controls, those were some good times and some good memories 😊

  • @Fatamus

    That is a 12 F, 80C. The first direct start as a standard option. You could get electric start as an option on a 12 8T 1955 up. Engine D318.
    I believe 1962 to 1964

    Hey Wiley keep watching your vids and they get better and better. Just remember you're getting on in years but still going never give up until you have too much love my buddy I'm over here in the UK and I'm sure you have many followers over here as well. So up most respect to you and all your kin I'm only 52 but things you do and say I can relate to. Old engineering is the best by far keep those videos coming and I'll keep watching 👍👍

    Yeah. You got that old grader to start. Wow. Good going Wiley.
    Those old Cat’s are tough let me tell you. Knuckle busters- - never heard that one before. Good one Wiley!!!!!!
    That old motor doesn’t sound too awful bad. You never know, someone might be interested in that old machine. Wow.
    You did good Wiley.
    Got her running-yeah!!!!!!

    Thanks Wiley, all the way from New Zealand. A company I worked for 50 years ago had a Cat like that. I remember I was always scared of the controls 🤣 oh and it was old back then. Only difference was it was a pony start, or as we say here, a donkey start. Lots of memories.

    The gear pump is run off a driveline that runs off of the flywheel and runs continuously The pump is internal and operates the power steering and possibly the pitch on your blade whether to pack or to cut. Another option was to extend your blade out. I do believe it is the 80C model 12 F.

    I called them a wrist rattler, I used to go home with sore hands. The worst two levers to operate were the circle turn and the wheel lean.🤕 it was an old 12E grader my father used to operate on the local council. I drove it after he retired in 1988. It had bald tires and the clutch would slip and the right hand blade lift clutch pack would ride up sometimes. But I loved it my dad did too.

    The old Cat grades will pull start, just turn on the compression after it's rolling a bit and let out the clutch. Oh and the engine drives the controls directly. Outer shaft drives the clutch , the inner shaft drives the controls. Controls always work when engine running.

    The only hydraulics on that machine will be for the power steering. All the controls are worked by dog clutches in the control box. They can really kick if they are worn when you are putting weight on the mouldboard. You hang on tight to those levers when using the controls and push them firmly. Don't try to ease them in or they will kick you..

I watched a guy a couple days ago pulling ditch , he was cutting the berm away from the road and pushing it against the hill side - no berm on the edge of the pavement , a state highway route , another 5 minute wonder .......
