New d 2

The plug and the switch is a interesting option, maybe that's where you plug in the air conditioner, I like recovery trips !

That plug is more than likley for plugging in the diagnostic lap top

the plug is for pugging the kettle in for a cuppa at smoko time pretty classy bit of gear there :cool2:

Lol the thing I can't get over is how clean of an install they did on that plug and switch, it looks like they trimmed the holes in the dash to fit all the contours of the assembly perfectly. Normally you would just see that thing totally hacked on there.

I can hardly wait to see how and if it works. Lots of backwoods, make it work, innovation out there. Look forwards to the pictures with it opened up so we can see.

Unless that is moss growing on it, I would say that Cat was a military one at one time. That sure looks like OD paint under the Cat yellow.

Remember all Caterpillar tractors built during the "War Years" were painted Olive Drab.
They were painted yellow by the Dealers afterwards.

That plug is for Power out, so something in there is providing power or signal. I think Palmer is right, it is a diagnostic tool.

Please don't forget to tell us what it is.
