Sneak preview of our November 2025 classic machine Sneak preview of our November 2025 classic machine profile- on the Cat 215 excavator.⁣
⁣
Caption: The first upgrade of the Caterpillar 215 came in 1984 with the 215B-LC (9YB series). Along with some increased horsepower, the longer track frame was now standard equipment (LC = long carriage). The 215B remained in production for 3 years.⁣

Caption: Short track frame 96L series Caterpillar 215 with full length roller guards, a mono boom and medium length stick sits in the wash bay after returning from a job. This machine is most likely one of the first to have received the new style cab making it around a 1980 model. ⁣
