Not familiar with that style on the 5U unless it is an early unit? You might find one of the more common valve/filter units.
Hi Team,
on later U and other machines with ponies Cat fitted an extra tap to overcome flooding the pony with petrol/gas when shut off.
The un-initiated often forget the second tap and curse ponies for being cantankerous.
Keep Smiling,

a picture would help, it should have the valve / sediment bowl on it, my guess somebody broke the glass bowl and put that valve in it
I'll try to get a picture this weekend. previous owner removed the sediment bowl and added a inline filter instead.
possible that this valve came from the local hardware store.....
most likely, that was my thought when you said ball valve
Here are the two fuel shutoff valves on my D2 5U.
Mm nice pics which confirm my second valve is the same as yours and not one someone hacked up...it's a genuine odd looking piece!

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
