I was told many years ago that the 16 grader was Stokey's first machine, I was also informed that Stokey was a big cheese with Bowmaker then western region Cat dealer, and when he left he aquired the grader.

Leonard R. Stokes was MD of Bowmaker plant, we were always told that when he left he had a D9 and started Stokey Plant, the 9 went to work at a powerstation double shifting.

That is correct and it is his "trade mark" stetson on the machines. I believe that this is that first D9.
