The following general information is web-sourced and may contain variances from the subject unit:
- Engine: D342 turbocharged diesel engine (7-cylinder configuration in many variants of this era), bumped to 280 HP around 1970 for the 46A/48A series.
- Operating Weight: Roughly 47,000 to 50,000+ pounds depending on attachments like blades, winches, or rippers.
- Transmission: Reliable Cat power-shift transmission for smooth on-the-go gear changes under heavy loads.
- Steering/Control: Steering clutches and brakes controlled via hand levers and foot pedals.
- The “H” Series Impact: Introduced originally in 1958, the D8H revolutionized heavy grading and pushing power, setting global industry standards for reliability.
- Undercarriage: Built with a heavy-duty track-type frame designed to absorb severe shock loads in rocky or uneven terrain.
- Attachments: Frequently paired with a large semi-U or straight tilting blade and often retrofitted with rear multi-shank rippers or winches (such as the Hyster winch).
