Aways fun to sort out these magnetos as there are so many variations😕 😕
I would have to say no.
The D6 uses a clockwise rotation & horizontal flange (typical AB model MJK 4/2 360D 40😎
The D8 uses a counter-clockwise rotation & vertical flange (typical AB model MJK 4/2 180D 311)
Both have impulse drive
If you post the serial numbers for both the D6 & D8 and the AB number on your D6 Mag I can go at it again through the Cat numbers. The parts are interchangeable and rotations can be changed if you have enough parts to get the right combination.
the d6 magneto is not working on d8 -2u and I am still have a good one for your dozer.
do you still have the magneto for the d-8?
I have one 2u d8 magneto.

"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."
