Jim B Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Actually, it's a Caterpillar 1160 or Ford V200. Edited February 12, 2015 by Jim B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This might help some: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm09_sept_1991_cate/ Here is a pic from a 1973 Ford L-Series brochure: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_brochures/ford/ford_l-line_1973/l-line-73-08.html That's a 3208 under the hood of a LN8000. What would be nice is if you could do the red & yellow labels for the valve covers (this is from a 1973 C-Series brochure): http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_brochures/ford/ford_c-series_1972/page_07a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have an issue of Toy Trucker and Contractor from several years ago that has a review of one of the variations of this kit (the snowplow, IIRC). I'm pretty sure the article said the engine is a Ford V200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Doesn't surprise me. The Ford V200 & V225 were built by Caterpillar for Ford. They were essentially blue Caterpillar 3208. If you want to be really correct, the 3208 was not offered by Ford from the factory in the LNT8000. The 3208 was only offered in the LN8000. The LNT8000 had the 3208T.

landman Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I reread the box, the instructions and all I can see is a reference ta it being Cat powered. However, the fine print a.k.a painting instructions says blue or yellow, so either is feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 In the 1970s it would have been Ford Blue, by the 1980s Caterpillar Yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
