Cat D2 Starter Pinion Sleeve Help

If your talking about the sleeve "Screws" the newest number I have is 4H1350. This part number was current as of 01-22-13 when I bought 3. Hopefully the threads on the sleeve assembly are still good and not "Jankified". 👋

Forgot the part numbers for the locks. That part Number is 4H1351.

I am fully expecting to have to assemble, disassemble and reassemble several times until I am fully satisfied with how everything lines up and works before final assembly. The concern for using loctite is duly noted, but when you heat bolts with loctite I have found they come out very easily. Not my intention to have to go through this process again in the near future so I figure any steps to prevent the problem from reoccurring should help. I do appreciate the comments and concerns I like new ideas that keep me thinking thanks!

Boron--did you have any trouble getting the starter pinion assembly out--i am told it is a tight fit and not much clearance.

I ordered the cap screws (2A2353) and the locks (2A246😎 a couple of years ago from Milton Cat - try that number

Hi I think it must have been you that messaged me via YouTube a couple of days ago regarding this problem. If you have trouble finding the parts through your local Cat dealer, I found that Florin Tractor (see parts source sticky post at the top of this forum for their info) has the fold over locks in stock using an old part #2A2468. No luck with the bolts though, hopefully you can find them with the numbers Joe gave you here. And it sounds like you've already got the routine down as far as dealing with Loctite, a little bit of heat loosens it right up so don't be afraid to use it in this application, those bolts need all the help they can get. Best of luck!
