[quote="StudebakerJim"]Well the ole girl (D2 1938 S/N 137) has sat since the mid 50's. I got the pony motor to fire off. I will mount the carb back on it this coming weekend. Removed the diesel tank and fuel line for cleaning. Making progress. It's one of those deals where you gotta get it runnning in order to get it out and load it deals. What a blast so far.
My homemade starter motor for the pony works awesome.[/quote]
How did you do this sequence? How about a pic of your starter motor.
Edit:: I meant a pic of the Cat and the Starter arrangement!!🙄
If it needs to run to load itself, I hope the steering clutches work.
D2's are notorious for swelling or freezing themselves from sitting.
1950's is a long, long time......
OK it now runs. This is so cool. I will eventually get some pictures posted of the starter motor for the pony.
Right now my Cat pics are on my facebook,
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."
