"Going" to the show with an expert commentator is maybe even better than being there in person without the input from someone so knowledgeable, but I'd still love to see this first hand. That is one nice D2, clean and elegant. Thanks for letting us tag along. Hopefully, there are more examples in this mini series.

Pretty cool old D2! I guess of the D2's vs. IH, it would be like finding the late Case SC's before they switched to the number series. They made at least 4 different engine blocks for the SC's... Lots of 'running production changes' done to those tractors.

The dozer blade is nice and close to the tractor......much more controllable and effective. The "modern" dozers could use that same tech to improve their performance.

Curious about the hydraulic pumps. If they are using the front mounted (model 44?) for pump, tank and distribution to the hydraulic cylinders... what are the hoses on the rear mounted pump going to? Great commentary Toby!!

If there is a new front mounted hydraulic pump for running the blade, then what was the original rear pump being use for? Also 113 still has some holes in the dash panel where things like this ones temperature gauge mount. Those holes 🕳️ are going to become really obvious (🐁doors!) once you get the new wooden cab mounted on 113. 🤔

Ok, I have two questions. One is stupid and one is really stupid. Question 1: Why do Cat owners put toy John Deere tractors in their air cleaners? Question 2: On a D2, with electric start on the pony motor, would it be possible to use the starter to spin over the starting engine (with the fuel off) and engage the pony to the diesel engine to start it? Like I said, I know it's a really stupid question, but I can't help but wonder if it would work

Well let's say the electric starter is doing maybe 200 rpm Then you start the pony motor and once running it'll do 1000rpm then it'll spin the main engine just fast enough to start it Those numbers are totally made up but the starter doesn't spin as fast as the pony motor running so the electric starter wouldn't be able to achieve the rpm to start the main
@jamesrobinson1022

It would barely spin it cause the electric start for the pony motor used 6v. The did have electric start for the diesel but required 24v. The pony motor also did the job of what glow plugs and block heaters that didn't really exist back then.
