There might be Jimmy - the only one I've seen is my buddy's HT4 and there's an opening but I don't remember if there is provision to mount a cover. In any case, it's pretty tight in there behind the air cleaner. Another Cat design "win"....
Ok Neil, this D4 I purchased is very complete. The air cleaner was off when I bought it so I really noticed the hole in dash. If there was a cover originally, I think it is the only part missing from this machine. Thanks.

If your dozer was equipped to have a cover plate for the mag hole in the dash, there would be a slot above the hole, and a bolt hole with a nut below the square access hole.
The cover plate was available for at least some of the J model D2s but I don't see any of the other tractors equipped to accept the cover.
I do have one on one of my D2 Js, they are a pain to put on and of no real use, and on the U models might be impossible to put on or remove without pulling the air cleaner and would not be removable with the crossover pipes for the dozer in place.
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."
