When you get all the right pieces together here's what you need to install. This is different from early instructions in that I've found the China unit castings are to thin to grind for wrench fit. By using a 5/8 x 1-3/4 NC button head cap screw with cut down 3/8 allen wrench no grinding is required. Put the cap screw in the Drive End Housing first then mount to the lever housing. Pictures attached.

Hello group,
This has probably been asked before but couldn't find it (easily). For people that have done all the current road work (as of 2020) what are the best parts and procedures for putting on an electric starter? My pony is working fine, but I want to keep it for cold weather starting and use electric for general use.
Could you guys help me with this?
I use this dozer so keeping it original is not important to me.

Thank you all in advance!

The post pretty much describes what's needed for the 9U, what specific questions do you have?

Finally proceeded to convert D6 to electric start and OMG it works awesome thanks to Old Magnet and others for all your expert advise. First time on new sight how can I apply pictures?

                                                                                                                              I Would like to share my experience measuring, drilling the housing big 3 5/8 starter hole with latest measurements from Old Magnet 10.246 down from pony mount and 2.810 from engine mount surface , installing bare nose cone with long 5/8 bolt to fit 11 tooth drive gear to ring gear then drill and tap 5/8X11 starter mounting bolts, drill and add hole and tap the lever housing I had, assemble and install starter, fabricate battery box lower steel plate, fabricate intake mount, fill in hole where pony pulley was, add master switch and starter button, fabricate battery box, installed two 31 series batteries cabled parallel for monster 12V power, mounted original compression release to top of battery box AND STARTED!!  None of this could be done without ACMOC!  Vic

Neil, Thanks for picture lesson now I need to figure out how to upload them like Old Magnet does where there smaller and you can click on them to make them bigger is doesn't take up so much space. Again there's no way I could have done any of this without ACMOC and Old Mqagnet's guidance. Thank You so much!    Vic    To answer your question when I finally got to start it was last fall the temperature was around 70F.  

What was the reasoning for going 12v? Surely it must get cold enough in Eastern Iowa to warrent 24v and glow plugs. Otherwise nice installation.
