Caterpillar serial number/ year model

[FWD]

I was looking to purchase a 936 Cat loader a few months ago. I saw one on Machinery Trader that was painted and had 936F decals snd advertised as a 936F. It had a 33Z serial number which is an earlier 936. It had outboard planetaries, dead giveaway if you know anything about 936's. If you did not know much, you would if you bought it. I did end up with a decent earlier 33Z 936 and was less than 200 mile away.

Oh there's some real shysters out there when it comes to used equipment. Much worse than just the Dupont overhaul.

First post and not sure where to put it. We have an old Cat 518 skidder with a serial number of 55U180. Could use some help with the year of this machine. Thanks

1973. You should always start a new thread, but you got the info you asked for.

Can some one give me the info on a D6 5R please.

5R 4035 I believe is the number. It's hidden in front of the winch.

The ACMOC site says D6 5R4035 was built in 1945 (5R3322 to 5R4619 in that year).

The first photo is the S/N tag for the Hydraulic Control which in itself doesn't mean much apart from when parts information is required. 51G prefix is a model 153 Hyd Control first built in 1963 in the UK.

The second one is the big deal. Somehow you will need to make the stamped/painted numbers more reabable. With the Hyd Control having been built in the UK I assume that the tractor will also be a UK-built machine. So it is likely the S/N prefix of the tractor will be 82A (direct drive) or 83A (powershift) because production of both those models started in 1964.

I don't think it's likely to be the later 46J/47J prefix D6C tractor because production of those models did not start in the UK until 1968.

G'day Folks. Finally got a chance to grab the serial number of the dozer. it is 46J355. I was wondering if any of you chaps could shed some light on manufacture date, etc. Thank you.
