You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, CodyKroeker.
If you ask your friendly local Cat dealer spare parts man VERY nicely to look in the Classic Cats section of their digital parts listings for such a tool, it may just turn up.
LOTSA things hiding in there that don't show up in the normal listings.
A search on e-bay for "Caterpillar Fuel Injector Pump Bleed Tool' may bring up that jigger too.
Just my 0.02.

The modern tool for that is a 1/4" drive oval socket, part number 5P2682, the old style wrench is a 9F22, or 9F0022.
Chapter 19 has the wrenches for sale.

Snap-on A137
It had never occurred to me over the years that the oval bleeder screws were the same oval profile and size at the top of a common shock absorber. I looked up the A137 part mentioned by cr, and they are available everywhere as shock absorber sockets. I wish I had known that years ago. In a pinch, I used the heavy wire bail off an old milk bucket, and squeezed the round end into an oval in a vise then bent the wire similar to the Cat tool. The bleeders don't take much to turn, and that worked fine for me for many years. Now, I think I'll buy on of those A137 sockets in 1/4" with a universal. Should be a lot handier.
Another huge thanks to CR; I have been on the "Snap-Off" wagon a time or two, and my ex salesperson could never seem to help. If one has the part # it makes life easier! I will order some for the tool boxes. Thx! JM
The A137 is 3/8 drive that is why the Cat socket is 1/4 drive.
Why on earth don't you just use a 3/4 or 19mm open end wrench and loosen the fuel line nuts to bleed air?

I tried to and I wasn’t getting any fuel movement from the pump to where the line goes in or at the injector itself so I wanted to try there to see if I could get fuel somewhere
