to sell to the highest buyer is what looks to be a1925 Caterpillar THIRTY and it\'s located in north central Wisconsin.

The reason we think it\'s a 1925 Cat 30 is it has a lot ofalot of Best features on it like the early Caterpillars had.The tag is missing but the owner who has had several Thirty\'s over the years feels this is a 1925 due to these early features on it and the tube radiator.The owner feels thereis a fair chance the serial # is stamped under the L-shapedbracket behind the firewall but he isn’t going to all the trouble to removethat. When looking at casting numberson this Thirty we didpolish up the flat area on back and see the number 30 by itself stamped there where the pen is pointing to in that picture.It was at one time andpossibly originally equipped for a snow plow and even had a Cab, etc. on the owner said but the plow and rest are now long gone. Has mount on it for thesnow plow yet and a beam on back. We believe this model was made for thecold with Caterpillar\'s optional cold weather kit or package and was made to handle the snowinthe northern Wisconsinarea. It has a cold weather hood,dash and radiator nose he said. We do have some choices of air cleaner that can go with as you\'ll note on those pallets of parts and the other parts are for sale too.The owner was explaining what he thought may be some Best features includingthe early manifold and early stamped track pads with small track adjustingsprings. Basically he said it seems to have most everything a Best 30had. Said it has the firewall on it and an aluminum nose up on top ofradiator for hood to attach to. It does run, drives and steers great. Water pump leaks bad and need to be repackedis the only known main mention on it which isn’t bad for a crawler that’ll be100 year old in 10 years. Gas tank needs to be cleaned too. It runs for about 20 minutes and will need wateragain but it does run out real good including steering. Plus has beltpulley driver pully unit on back.(10/23 update: Someone today asked thisgood question “Is it possible to get a close-up picture of the manifolds/carband the water pump/magneto areas?” So Iposted a combination picture above that\'s related to that. In the email I sent him I mentioned themanifold looks to be the Best early style, ornate type manifold as you cansee. The magneto is a Wico X orsomething but we have a box of 5-6 magnetos including one or two Bosch’s and wethink a Bosch ZR4 is in there but not sure.These are in unknown condition but I will include them to the winningbuyer. The water pump just leaks fromthe nut so just needs re-packing. Also someone has offered $600 for the rear Belt Pulley Stationary Drive Unitthat is on back of this Cat Thirty if the winning buyer would want sellthat. Or if someone has one for sale letme know. Thank you.)
