That is helpful, but my fear is heading up one of my rather steep fire trails and having the engine stop due to a lift pump problem. Thank you Neil for being there early for nearly every question I have asked, it is much appreciated. Elton
A club member close to you may be able to rebuild it. I could do it, not sure what shipping would be. The worst thing is and almost always the shaft will be bad and the housing and plate may have to be resurfaced. It can get pricey for the parts too, just a warning. Another plan is if you can get a rebuilt one from somebody.
So Rome, where are you? One of the things I would like to see with this forum is to include where members are located. Maybe I am too nosey, but I would really like to know where people are.

Hi Elton,
Take a look at the Chapters page (not the Chapter News on the forum), click the second from the left black box near the top of the screen entitled "Chapters" and you will see an interactive map showing members locations down to the nearest town. See below.
You can zoom in on particular areas.

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"
instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
ours reads in the cuation range at idle and doesnt rise much higher than that at full revs and we have had it loaded almost till stall pushing timber. any good diesel injection shop should be able to rebuild it for you. parts are available from the dealers. and these old girls are pretty simple if you can give them the service refference for the engine and fuel system they should be able to do the work. and the dealers workshop would do it for you anyway.
I do believe squach235 on youtube or Toby has done a video on doing that exact job with part number and what to look for. he is rebuilding a hole D2 on video and does a very good job of showing what is needed to do the job right with no corners cut. I guess that's why he was ACMOC member of the year a few years ago.
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."
