Caterpillar D2

[@bigredc222]

It's amazing that the whole track assembly is only connected with one big pin.

[@ryancleveland9451]

Toby, I can not figure out why you don’t have more subscribers. You put out some of the best content on KZbin

[@Frank-Thoresen]

I joined today 🙂

[@donaldwallace7934]

Glad to see D2 action again! But, looking forward to the first start up of the Super M also!! 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@bobferranti5222]

This is a prime reason why I love this channel, there's always something interesting/fascinating going on.

[@charliewiard6813]

I’ve watched your videos for along time and enjoyed all of them. Just wanted to say thanks for all the knowledge you share with all of us. THANKS

[@PatRClarke]

Dropping this comment just because Ive never been so early! Not watching this vid yet as Im still in the engine rebuild section of old #1113 (just finished the breather assembly). Love your vids Squatch! You've actually inspired me to pick up a restoration project of my own, albeit a much different one. I just picked up an old mechanical calculator and am attempting to bring it back to like new condition (my workspace consists of the desk in my bedroom so thats as big as I could get). Keep it up!

[@colin8532]

Ah, nice. Love the super M series, but its great to see more of 5J1113 again

[@paulhammond7489]

Love it when the the old D2-5J parts catalog comes out to show us the evolution of the design.

[@frritter8253]

Quite a few leaves on the ground...it's that season. Good to be back with 1113 - thanks for taking us along Toby!

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Little by little. It is amazing to see just how robust even these little crawlers are. Look forward to more progress!

[@johncrisman576]

Those yellow work gloves take me back to my childhood. My dad kept a dozen pair of those on hand. I'm 61 btw.

[@edwardgarea7650]

Fantastic video! I say that as a happy subscriber and an old Cat skinner (977H and No. 12 ). I think if I could have any piece of Cat equipment it would be the D-2. It’s the perfect size tractor for those small jobs, and as a friend’s father (who had his for over 15 years of tough love) said, it always started and you practically had to take a sledge to it to stop it (not that you would; it was a testament to its reliability). This is the second time I’m watching this video. I like your description of the wrench and a high-quality wrench. It goes well with this video, which is a high-quality video. Can’t wait for the payoff when you refurbish it and bring it back to life. I’ll be watching.

[@thomasphilyaw8593]

So glad the D2 series is up and running again. You made my day

[@marks8068]

Yess, been waiting a long time for this. its not like I dont like watching the Farmall stuff, but 5j1113 is wat brought me here after all...

[@BarryTsGarage]

Season transition and project transition - fun times! I enjoy your channel, Toby

[@juanpullupaxi1007]

I have a CAT D2 machine, this is my next restoration project... Greetings from Ecuador.

[@JD-tl7ld]

I wish I had a D2. That seems to be the perfect size dozer for small projects around the homestead, and looks like it would plow snow like a boss.

[@paulmanson253]

Use that PTO to power up a snow blower. Send it into the neighbours yards.

[@xx1590]

The lasting history of the D2 caterpillar will owe its life to your dedicated efforts what a job you are doing.

[@rickb5946]

When this man says i`m gonna take the dozer apart get back!!. He damn well means it!

[@triptisrinivasjanardan3929]

With his level of knowledge, there is no fear.

[@_P0tat07_]

Always a treat to see a video from ya Toby! Stay healthy!

[@rdaw33]

Leaves are turning, very beautiful, leaves are falling..........Winter is close!!!!!....Looking forward to your inside winter projects!!!!....glad you are getting back to the D2!!!!

[@anthonyhoult152]

Hello Toby, I know that you did this sometime ago but I am so enjoying each and every video 👍👍👍

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Like the way you planned your winter projects. And with a heated garage/shop and a cup of hot coffee or soup, what else would a man want.

[@Bushguyrocks]

Beer.

[@digitalshackonthelane]

Way to go man! Good to see you going over the undercarriage!

[@theshadow4292]

Thanks for the Cat D 1113 winter project disassembling video. I must say, you made the dismantle thus far look a lot easier than I would have ever expected it would actually be. I will be watching each successive video intently and maybe a little inquisitively as well. Observation, winter sure comes to your area much too soon, leaves turning color in last weeks video, leaves covering the ground in this week video, wow, that's fast.

[@todddebockler7786]

Thank you for your D2 videos looks close to my D2 4u731 can't wait to c how the steering clutches come out I live in northern east pa

[@harrowtiger]

Very interesting to watch, thanks. The trees are rapidly yellowing and falling. Winter is coming. Only seems like yesterday your yard was a snowfield last winter. More bloomin’ snow.

[@ThomasLips]

I'm relatively new to your channel, but I got to tell you I love getting a notification that you put out another video!! I've been watching your videos on the Farmall restoration. Thanks for what you do... and keep doing it!!! Tom, from Washington state.

[@markbehr88]

Wow! Love the old Caterpillars and really enjoyed your video. You do a great job.

[@jbj27406]

Boy, you were right about getting that Farmall painted. The ground is already completely littered with leaves. Your season changes are so dramatic up there. Good call.

[@dank3944]

That's the same way I pulled the tracks off my 22 worked pretty good

[@scottgm321]

This is the first video of yours I have watched. Looks like I have a bunch of catching up to do lol. Thanks for the video.

[@CB71SS]

Enjoyed your previous series on the tractors and am really looking forward to seeing the D2's rebuild/restoration. Like the old dozers.

[@matty2helpfull]

So excited for 1113 content!

[@neilshep50]

Toby, you may not agree, but I'm amazed how little it took to dismantle the chassis. Looks like the hardest part was slackening the tracks. Anyway, good to see what's going to keep me entertained and educated over the coming winter.

[@seastacker8582]

Guess I always assumed the crawlers had a master link of some sort to get those tracks off. Looks like a pita. I bet getting them back on is a joy. Look forward to future videos on this and all projects you and your dad have going!

[@eliusbasili8890]

I think you and the man with a beard are good mechanics professional on the tractors. Is a pleasure for my eyes to see you working on mechanics. Compliments I follow your videos

[@triptisrinivasjanardan3929]

The man with a beard is his father! They work together on a lot of things. Both skilled mechanical experts.... one of the best things on KZbin.

[@eliusbasili8890]

@@triptisrinivasjanardan3929 I agree..

[@Pamudder]

. . . . see if we can make the whole process more complicated. LOVE IT!

[@hfdzl]

Looks like the same state of repair on my 5U12016. Keep up the great work!

[@jimmybigbucket]

Excellent video as always!

[@iamrichrocker]

Armstrong Wrench..what a fitting name for that track tool...

[@todddebockler7786]

Nice wrench steering clutch detail can't wait

[@theoldman8877]

I was just remembering using a Olive loader to pull an engine out of a 49 Chevrolet pickup in 1967 , risky business is the best description because everything on that old and warn out Oliver leaked, I had to keep the lift spool valve cracked open to keep loader buckets and engine at the same level while my dad was under the truck working it loose. The truck was on oak fire wood blocks to give enough room to move around underneath the truck. No shop all the tools wear carried in a small tool box. Add to problems my dad always had a mouth full of crew making it hard to understand what was being said.

[@joman160]

Glad to see D2 action again!

[@mikemcginley6309]

Glad you're back on the Cat.

[@TimTurner115]

Can't wait to see how far you are going to get in to it.

[@olspanner]

Great combination----- Crowbar and Kubota.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Great again definitely compulsory viewing an am sure many ppl learn so much from these videos 👍👍

[@dearanel936]

Video shot of the sky Red sky at night sailors delight. Orange sky in the morning sailors take warnining. I love the way you make those caterpillar d 2's tear down and reassembly look like child's play I Love it I got to give you credit you put a lot of hard work into it

[@mfreund15448]

Looks like the backhoe was a great help.

[@forbes80751]

De tensioning the tracks was my favorite time lapse of all time

[@ethankalicin6074]

looks like those drive sprockets seen better days

[@waltermattson5566]

The backhoe is handy to have around. I like it.

[@kevinoscarson2941]

Wow have your trees changed!! Love the channel. Fyi I built a track press with an old I beam. Maxed a 100 ton ram out on it. Makes splitting the track easy.

[@paulmanson253]

So shoot him a video of it. Maybe he can use the ideas.

[@357bullfrog2]

Hot dang boys. Another good series to watch.

[@michellehoefer5922]

Thank you for the video.

[@outbackrider6438]

Super M has been a great series, but D2 5J1113 is the most informative. Great to see how the components come apart, and the tricks of the trade...hobby...looking forward to the disassembly of the finals, etc. even the whole entire series. Anything on the horizon for pony motor carb rebuild/mag work? Continued thanks for putting the effort forth.

[@curtismoore776]

Looked the 2F5131 wrench up in our system and it updated to an 8F2239. Updated price is $798 but hey at least its still available lol

[@rotax636nut5]

You made that look very easy..

[@randyruppel6727]

Will be following now more than ever (but I've already followed every video since idk when lol) I have some work to do on my D2, although my project is pretty Frankenstein, repower and whatnot, but the rear end, finals, clutches all need tlc. Work on this generation of machines' great great grandbabies at work haha. Just want to watch a old iron vet as I go. My machine is 5U3591. If you wouldn't mind Squatch, if there are any known differences (just as you pointed out today) would you mind continuing to do so if its note worthy or if anyone else besides myself would like to know. I appreciate it! Love your work, quality in video and restoration. You've come a long way on the videoing. Very pleasant and fun to watch. Anyway, appreciate it in advance and look forward to seeing each installment. Take care!

[@ronaldkearn3322]

Those sprockets look to be in relatively good shape, meaning that there was not a lot of use prior to retirement. This is hopeful for the under carriage condition. Best of luck. :-) We used to change them until they were razor sharp. :-)

[@hubertwhitlock9968]

This thing will look awesome when you get it all done

[@robertmccully2792]

sure be nice to have a covered storage area with open sides all around big enough to get your backhoe inside.

If you ever decide to use the swamp tracks aka swampers on the D2 5J1113. It will be a very awesome combination.

[@scruffy6151]

Oh goodie more D2 parts.

[@tedwpx123]

👍What happened to the Moline project?

[@marks8068]

on hold due to parts unavailability..

[@johnwythe1409]

I spent two days try to get one master pin out without a portable press. Finally gave up, took the dozer off, slackened the track and got it off that way. I notice the back housing where the spring mounts on is different than my 5u. When you get around to it, I would be interested in how the back end of that large bolt works inside that spring. I am wondering if that end can get stuck, causing the track to get too tight as the spring would no longer be able to compress. Seems mine does that from time to time working in loose shale.

Like the cat projects but missing the moline.

[@KStewart-th4sk]

Yes, the days are getting noticeably shorter, as we wind on down to the "coming of the snow". Where i am, it is dark well before 8PM now, where not long ago at 10PM it was still light out. The snowmobilers will be happy but i am not one of "them". At least, we will have you to keep us occupied with new episodes through the long cold winter. Where did the summer go? I am hearing the geese outside right now as they are starting to gather for their trip South.

I haven’t thought about that, what the heck do you do with old engines and ultra low sulphur fuel?

Do you mean, what do you use in old engines that were design to run on the old high sulfur fuel? I have several older engines made well before UL sulfur fuel was conceived. I like Stanadyne "lubricity formula " diesel fuel conditioner. When I can get it. If not then Power services conditioner from Walmart. Always use something with lubricity additives in it. 👍
