Well I really don’t know what I have here. I know next to nothing about them what is good, bad or desirable. I got into it right and I’m a sucker for a interesting project. I am far more knowledgeable about Ag equipment. I look forward to getting it going. Not even sure what I’m going to do with it. I have a 3yr old grand son that is all about motors and levers. So I hope he likes it. That alone would make it worth it. I will probably;y still be working on it when he’s old enough to run it. Lol. Is there a list of good and bad features on these?

Welcome to the club, Its good to have another Michigander in the club. My first cat project was a D2 5U. You'll get good advice here.

Thanks steve. This thing came from down by you. Laingsburg area. It was a project just to get it home.

Welcome to all the fun.

Cat was good to stamp numbers in the case under where the tag was on the case left rear of tractor. So you should be able to tell if engine is original to the rest.

Your “First” CAT, and likely not your last! Number One of many more possibly?
CAT corralling can be addictive, so you cane to the right place! JM
