pinion or latches could be loose---latch release can be adjusted but if latches worn has to be replaced
Caterpillar still has a Socket available that fits a 1/4" drive ratchet to fit the bleeder screws. A Thread was posted on this subject in the past. I remember various tool part numbers appeared in that Thread. If I have time to look it up later and copy it here I will.
Socket wrench is 5P2682 - $13
also to bleed the system cut an old inner tube with valve stem and clamp over fuel tank neck--pressurize to about 5 psi and it will push fuel and air out thru the system
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."
