I recently acquired a D2 serial number 5U707. I was able to load it, bring it home, unload it, and park it two weeks ago with no issue. Now when I try to start it, it seems the pinion is engaged, but when I push the starter lever forward, the diesel doesn't start turning, and you can hear the load on the pony motor. I'm wondering of the pinion clutch isn't engaging enough and needs adjustment, but not sure. Also, IS there a way to adjust it?
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."
