Welcome aboard! Great story. Sorry for the loss of your brother and wife. Were all glad to help out with your D6, allot of good knowledge on this board.

Mike, what a great project to restore Brutus!! Sounds like Brutus is one of the family. So sad about your Brother and his wife.
There are a lot of friends on this board that can help you in many ways be it knowledge or encouragement. Welcome aboard.

Welcome and sorry for the loss of your family, I've been to Molalla, you will find lots of helpful folks here, it will not be hard to get that pilot motor squared away, if you put a wanted advert on here and in the Club magazine you will probably find a few good used pony motors laying around after tractors have been converted to electric start.
Good luck from Australia

Well guys here we go, This is where she has been sitting for 20 plus years, Im going to put new filters on her and flush the fuel tank, I also cant thank Allen from gaston Oregon for finding the pony motor in the thousands of parts he has, It is a remanufactured block with new pistons and Crank and the works. They didnt even know he had it. Ill be getting a 750 dozer to push her out and get her going. Ill get the pony installed and hope for the best. Ive rebuilt the pony carb and have all the gaskets I need to get her installed.

Take a sample from each oil compartment and the fuel tower drain to check for sludge or water. Reliability depends on cleanliness. If you do find contaminants, consider not running (or moving it if it's in the transmission back) until you get the offending chamber cleaned out.
