Its a 1950

The drain plug is not a standard hex drive, it has a taper to it. There is a bolt head size that works (can't remember size) or Cat sells a 1/2 drive socket for that purpose.
Use the NGK A6 or AB6 plug.

Hello Adrian

Good to see you with a new Cat, the drain plug tool is one most people make themselves from a bolt or nut, I just welded a nut the right size to an old socket - but murphy was onto me and I eventually found that one of my drawbar pins was also a plug spanner (don't know why I didn't look at it before).

Where are you in NZ ??

Hi Foster

Thanks for the advice - I don't have any drawbar pins, but did find a bolt of approximately the right size, so was able to get the plug off and back on again relatively easy.

I'm in the Manawatu. We spoke on the phone a couple of weeks ago, and you mentioned you were looking for a fuel pressure gauge. A friend here may have access to one, but I'll need to remind him again I think. Send me your email address if you like (to my address - raduncan@xtra...), & I'll let you know how I'm getting on with the gauge. Any luck finding a blade for yours yet?

Cheers.

Adrian
