Sorry, the tractor used to pull start was a POS JCB backhoe. I didnt have any other tractor there at the time that would have been safer to use.
From limited experience with these CAT's, even had you not shown the CAT underneath you, seeing the grin only I could have recognized the unmistakable grin of resurrected vintage CAT😊
Good for you.

Karl,
It's an undescribable feeling to bring one of these old machines back to life. You're really hooked now. On the carb. running full throttle, check out the governor. I would get the throttle situation fixed first. Then change all the fluids and go to it. Good Luck, Frank
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.

"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."
