Sent one to CAT fuel injection shop for an overhaul. The pump came back with all the old retainers in a bag. Lots of cold chisel marks in them😆 Seems like some had some kind of nut welded in them, can't really remember.
I do appreciate the responses..............is there any way I might be able to free the rack up? I think it's stuck from setting around, if I could get it freed I wouldn't have to go any further.

Barry,
You might try my favorite "loose juice" on that. Half and half acetone (or Coleman fuel) and two stroke oil seems to work wonders on most stuff I've tried it on. The acetone or "white gas" as Coleman fuel used to be called is a super penetrant plus the two stroke oil is a good lube.
I also squirt it on the blades of my D4 and 12E grader after use. .keeps 'em from rusting a LOT longer than WD40. Yup, better'n any patent snake oil I've used plus it's a lot cheaper 😆
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.
