Carb or Parts for D2 4U

I don't have one but funny you mention that - I often wonder how big (or little) of a deal it would be to make new jets. The stock is nothing special - brass I guess, so it'd mostly be a matter of getting the diameter and length correct I supposed. I'd like new jets but lack the means to make them and I'm not aware of anyone that makes new ones.

Cheers,
Neil

This is for a JD diesel 2 cyl starting motor but the carb (Zenith TU3X1C) is similar as used on the D2 pony.
If your part is listed, I think you can buy it at your local JD dealer or maybe from Roberts Carb repair?

I cannot vouch for the jets being exactly the same but they probably are. Maybe someone here on the board can chime in and let us know before you buy a part you cannot use.

I hope this helps...

Do you have a Caterpilliar part number? If so, check it out with Caterpillar parts, it may be available.

Boy that does look like a similar carb. If nothing else pans out I will give one of those a try.

Well since my other potential sources are not panning out, I may try and buy a main jet for that JD Pony. However, I went on a JD forum and found that they talk about their Pony motors turning 7000 RPM (!), and listening to U-Tube of a 720 Diesel being started, it sounded like it! Makes me wonder how good a match the Main jet from that Zenith Carb might be...

Anybody got any insight on this?
