anyone thought of using the same bottom pully and just running a second upright motor?
We have done 2 , First was a Late 7U D4 I managed to pickup a Starter from a Traxcavator for it and put Pre .Coms. in Worked very well . Later we did a D7D17A when the pony disintergated .The starter for that came from an English 22A D8 ,which had the Tapered gear , Did same thing with Pre.Coms. That is still working perfect to this Day. I have seen 'External' Engines used as starters . One was a Briggs and Stratton permantly mounted and the other an Old Collector had made up a Honda motor and Frame he uses to start pony motors .. just moves it from one Tractor to another, Beats pulling that Rope when you get older !!

Unfortunately it's a pretty tough job on the D6 that old that doesn't have the factory starter hole.
Probably the next most common rig is to mount a pulley on a starter driving the pony flywheel. Your on your own for that approach.
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."
