Sounds like the pony for a 7M or 3T.
Any way to positive ID it?
Here are some pictures. Pardon the hoses. I am removing a homebuilt auxilliary hydraulic system that I think was meant to run a tilt cylinder on the dozer.
That does not look like a starting engine from an earlier tractor like a 7M. Probably a later model.
One difference from what the parts/service book says is the way the governor linkage is set up. This one has a rod that snaps onto a ball on a short arm below the pivot while the idle spring is on a long arm above the pivot. The arrangement I expected was that the governor linkage and the idle spring would both be on the same side (above) the pivot.
I wonder which D6, D7 and D8 pony motors will swap with this machine?
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."
