Just a peek of a 12 8T grader I just got from the scrap yard. I put fuel in it and got the pony running after a couple pulls. Main fired right off and ran like a Swiss watch. It has a oil clutch. I don’t have the maintenance book for it. I was wondering if the transmission was filled through the rear cover on the diff?

The picture of it on the trailer is a friend that works at the yard. He sent me that picture when it came in.

Unbelievable! I feel like I'm pecking in the dirt for scraps and here this lands in your lap! Congrats on a nice machine. Any major issues?

Super clean. Yes trans fills through big bung in differential cover. What year? Does the lift arm shaft have 3 keyways in it?

I think it is a 1954. It is 8T12832. The one beside it is a 1957 8T19829. The 54 does not have the 3 key ways on the lift shaft. The 57 does. A closer shot of the beacon. Also a good shot of some of the fleet. See how many you can pick out. Looks like it had a snow wing at one time with this cool double drum winch. Also looks like it has factory power steering?
