6 volt cat battery box same on all the early pony start cats
The D2 only (late U models) changes to the curve top ventilated model for 6v starting only.
Nice picture Old Magnet. Is that your D2? Very nice! Would love to get some close up pictures so I can have one made. Looks like you are not too far away from me.

Sorry, no that's not my D2....picture was taken at Tulare a couple of years ago. Don't know whose it is.
IRolla, I do have a rounded batt box like OM has pictured, but I do not have the top or the internal cradle. The bottom is a bit rusty.
For Sale: Reproduction Caterpillar D2, D4, D6 battery box. 14 gauge metal with rounded corners like original. Dimensions are as close as possible. Inner battery brackets are 3/16 gauge metal with rubber mounts & rubber hold down under lid. Norman Quay (937) 585-6475 (OH)[94].
I've made a few of these square cornered boxes w/lids and some of the internal parts as shown. My finished ones have sold but it wouldn't take long to assemble another. $200. Karl 530-533-2266
Nice work!!
Here's how the two compare.
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."
