Kevin,
My 12 year old son and I are currently restoring a 1950 Cat D2 5U4775,
if you could give me your email address, I would submit a story and some
photos of our restoration to date. (Only because I could figure out how to
upload photos here)
Sincerely,

Hi Jeff!
Sounds like a great project! My email is [email protected] or [email protected].
Hi Kevin,
I have a project underway that is documented in my webste. Some time ago, I had submitted to the bulletin board, links to the site but they are now obsolete and do no longer go directly to the Cat project. http://www.acmoc.org/bb/showthread.php?14900-Further-progress-on-my-HT4
I was about to post another "Further progress" when I saw your note on the board and was wondering if this project is something you would be interested in. The whole story to date can be seen at http://www.mervbergman.net/1955-caterpillar-d4-traxcavator-crawler-tractor/
I want to reinstall the pony motor on the diesel before it goes back in the tractor but I am waiting for pony motor parts, so the project is on hold right now.

[quote="KevinKizer"]We are currently looking for new Then & Now stories for future issues of the magazine! If you or someone you know is restoring an old Cat, all you need to do is take a few pictures and write a short summary (we can help with editing). It's a great way to show off your hard work and be a part of the magazine. Send me a message if you are interested.
