Your work has motivated me! Thanks for posting and the photos, really enjoy seeing what you are accomplishing.

Thanks Kurt, appreciate your kind words. I always enjoy a thread with lots of pics, and I thought others might too.
I have to say that the inspiration for my 5U has come from Toby Nelson with 5J1113, I wouldn't own the tractor nor would I have completed the back end rebuild without his inspiring detailed video series, and his contributions to my thread.

Keep us posted here with progress on yours! Can't wait to see another tidy, orginal 5U up and running! Did you manage to get the fuel tank fixed up?

I have also just recieved a whole stack of orginal period CAT brochures, including a brochure for the first series 5U D2 (like ours) which I am hoping to scan and make available for the library in the next little while, sneak pre-view of a selection below:
