I have been looking for a replacement battery box for U series D6, but find replacement units for everything but caterpillar tractors. Why are they made for every thing but CAT. I did find a local fab shop that will make a custom one. I guess I'm just complaining that boxes are made for everything else.

There was a person on here years ago that had reproduced the complete battery box for the U series tractors. He stopped making them as no one wanted to pay what he needed to get out of them.

I just recently had 2 Boxes made ,to exact measurements of My "Buckled one". That did not include that Crazy retainer that Cat put in them, [1] had no holes for amp Gauge, Light switches,Starter Button and Leads $450 aud and the other one had all that done $550 aud plus GST of Course. Included was a Gal.base to hold battery and I made the retaining Bolts and strap Similar to 4B5163 as fitted to an R2 except the Starter switch is mounted inside. Looks a real Mickey Mouse Job .LJ

I used the expanded polystyrene that my battery was packed in for shipping, small trim and it fits neatly inside the battery box, and of course has excellent impact resistance.

Testimonials

"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."
