A while back I asked for help/information regarding what type of gear oil to use in an old Cat grader, with your help I settled on NAPA GL-1. Thought you might like to see the old yellow iron. She's a 1953 Cat 212 with a pony start, D 311, 4 cylinder, 4" bore diesel. Only about 45 horse power but as a friend said 'those are draft horses, not pony's". After many hours of work to the pony pinion/starter drive and a repair of the drive shaft that runs from the crank shaft through the transmission to run the blade and wheel tilt plus some clutch work we finally got her back together. 66 years young and still doing her job.
