I've been trying for years to find a good door for my 12. Very tough. The last time I checked it was still available from Cat For $1400.00 as a bare shell, that is no hinge, latch, glass or paint. It looks like it might be the same door.

go to machinerytrader.com parts section and punch in the number. I am sure it will bring up something. A door from any Cat No. 14 should work except for the G series and up.

It's A Needle In A Haystack!

I've been a customer of NC Cat for almost 40 years and now when I walk in the door the parts dept LOL :beatsme
I am always asking for a discontinued (obsolete) part!
I am amazed at what they can still get. They thought they found a door but it was to short. I have exausted the US & Finning Cat resourses first. That was Nov & Dec 2010.
Then I started calling all the Equipment Trader leads and other internet leads but no one had a cab let alone a door. If any of them had a complete cab I would probably buy it. One salvage fella said $1500 for the cab if he had one.
Florin in Sacramento found some light brackets for me. They almost always have what I need.
I've been getting Cat Classic parts also for this machine.
So what I do now is keep a sharp eye out! On my travels around the west this winter I stop anywhere I see some old Iron and use my binoculars to spot a 14E maybey!Very elusive!
My favorite fab shop will make one in the spring.He will spend less time making a new one than I have spent looking for one, that is for sure!:Banghead
Shoot,I found this one this weekend! 1K140S.P. If you know where this grader is I know you swill beer

Hello. You could try our local salvage yard; Cambrian Equipment here in Winnipeg 204 667 2867. They have a little bit of everything.
Good luck. If you have the right hand door it shouldnt be that hard to make another one.

I'm must be getting old but that looks like the area northwest of Tucson AZ around the old Silver Bell Mine

 

[Cletus]

Close Enough!

Parker, AZ at the Desert Bar at the old Nellie B mine. :beerchug

2stickbill, I can tell buy your truck that you would never settle for a fix like that!
I will fab a door in the spring and post a picture.

No I wouldn't go for that fix unless it was winter time.When it is very cold I'll do anything to keep the cold out till I find the right door.
I drove a Pete with a 400 Cummins and 5X4 with Jake and 6inch straights.Loud enough to wake the dead with a D8R and Jake talking.
The one in the pic had a 475 C15 twin Turbos and 18 speed.I like the 5X4 better.As for Cigars I have tried a lot of different ones.Cheap ones no good.Real good ones cost to much so I stick with the middle ones.lol.
The CAT in the pic was a D8T.I didn't even use the extra axle.

http://www.tractorparts.com/ Try this guy.I see a lot os 12s but no 14s.But he might have one are can hook you up.Holt Cat has a used parts program their web site is easy to find.Some of these people will help you find one if they don't have it.

Nice lookin ol blade. I had one that I sold to a guy up the road when the engine started needing more than I wanted to put into it.he bought it, ran some kind of huck pucky through it to slow the oil from migrating to the coolant, & ran it for a while. I saw him working on it at a job the other day. Maybe it's finally done, he might have a door and a whole lot more for sale in NW WA. I did love that blade though, good luck.

I talked to tractor parts last month and although their online parts said they had a door the parts woman said that database is 10 or 12 years old and they use a totaly different system. They have'nt had a 14 for a long time. My NC CAT dealer in Alaska finds me parts but no luck on this door. Finning also no luck. Florin in Sacramento has lots of parts, I got some light brackets and seals from them.

My fix for cold is, I stay in Palm Springs untill it is warmer in Alaska. Golf clubs and Harley handlebars in winter, levers and wrenches in summer
My avatar dumptruck has a 475 C-15 18 speed.
I traded a 1/2 gallon of Crown Royal for the 6" stacks on my "Hobby Truck". They were to loud for his 400 Cummins!

I ran a 14E on the Trans Alaska Pipeline,night shift, in the early 70's and this one reminded me of those days. The real blademen had the new 14G's. I was very happy to get off my 641.
This blade has been sitting for 11 years. They rebuilt the 3306 then blew a gear in the tranny so there it sat.Was yours a standard transmision.
I will be transiting Bellingham to catch the ferry so would defenitly be interested in looking at your old blade.
