Just subscribed. We have a couple of D4's One a 1940 -7J is a good machine. the other a 49 D4 -7U is a POS. We also have 25 tractors and a whole hoard of stuff. My name is also Randy. And I am a 72 year old relic.

We had a 6.2 diesel that had no go, so we put a Banks turbo on it and it ran much better. All Cat D2's were made as ag tractors. Cat never made a blade for them until after WWII. It was a after thought. The engine is too far forward and adding a blade in the front made it worse. Look up Squatch253 for details.

I enjoyed the video! The plastic replacement gas tank for the starting engine looks just like the original metal version. Where did you find that? I have a 52 d2 that needs a replacement starting engine tank. Thanks!
