Question for Old Magnet

Hi Woody,
As far as I know all the parts to rebuild the pony are still available from Cat.
Your serial number is high enough that either direct start or pony was an option and you would not have to deal with boring the starter hole.

What either one costs depends on how much you can do yourself. Starter prices are all over the map with new/used/rebuilt options. Last time I counted about $1200 took care of everything except labor on a direct start unit that did not require hole boring and did not include glow plugs.

Rebuilding pony motors has taken on a new challenge....finding someone that knows what they are doing and can do the work....including Cat. I'd get a quote before proceeding......I think you will be shocked😮

Old Magnet:
Thanks for the quick reply, I will give Western States a call. They had a guy in their Pocatello shop that did quite a few of these, I don't know if he is still there or not. The regional service field man retired a few years ago for this area and alot of experince went out the door with him. He is still in the area working part time for a construction outfit that has a lot of older Cat Scrapers. I mite pick his brain a little as well.
When you say shocked are talking $5,000 up or in that neighborhood??😮

If we wanted to include the glow plugs what all is involved in that??

Thanks for the input!!😊
Woody
