check your hardnose mounts and your engine mounts. is something moving that should'nt be? there isn't alot of clearance for the exhaust pipe of the pony but there should be enough. to prevent touching.
The pony exhaust on my 9U has a curve and comes up right in front of the cross member without hitting it. Maybe you can fabricate one. I Have searched quite a bit and cannot find any pony exhaust pipes or manifolds for the D318 pony.
Make sure the cross brace is installed correctly with the the long side of the mounting flanges facing forward.
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."
