Good find Gary!

Cleaned up nice, should do the job well. I have a home made one also, and after doing some research I found the number of a Snap-On made socket just for the bleeders, with 1/4" drive, works well also because of not much room behind the pump.

]Looks like I have a new apprentice. My grandson came for a visit and we got the d2 started and took it for a little spin. Well naturally we had to wash it because it got dirty.

start em young. you'll have a apprentice for life.
thats how i cuaght oldmachineryitis, i was always with dad. when i was little we had a old chev 6 truck in the backyard that i played on. 30yrs later i still have the bug.

Yea gets in your blood when really young. Good thoughts

Hey there Gary. Sounds like you are fixing to get that D2 ready for another round of work. I am a 4U 1952 D2 owner and I love it on this Mississippi farm. I supplement it with a 50 hp Kubota track hoe so i can dig up and smooth out about any thing I need. So far all I’m having to do is routine maintenance aside from the pinion grind when I engage it. Good luck and keep us posted. Never know what you will run into.  Mike
