  As long as you can raise the blade, you can activate the diesel engine compression release and in gear, move the whole Cat by hand turning the cooling fan. The gearing and leverage make it turn quite easy. Walked my 52' D2 a quarter mile back to the shop when the clutch went out this way. My dad was a cat skinner and showed me this. Works forward and reverse. With one person running the brakes and the other spinning the fan you can turn also. Took about half a day though.

  My dad had a 1952 D2 bulldozer he let us borrow back in the day, and, aside from getting detracked because of my dad unknowingly brushing against a maple stump, it cleared 11 acres of land like nothing. The good part of the detracking was we got to meet one of our neighbors.<br><br>Also guys, if this has a pony motor, it&apos;s from the 1950&apos;s.

  Can we get a TV show where these 2 fix tractors and donate them to farmers?

  It&apos;s like time stood still for 6 months up there. No cobwebs. No slugs or snails no rust on the rams nor birds nest anywhere. I want a home in that region.

  These are becoming my favorite videos. Locate derelict heavy machinery and get it running, drive it out of whatever hole it came from. New battery, Hotwire the ignition, New fuel, get the bubbles out of rail, bang the starter with a hammer and let turn it over.

  Wow, the D2 is such a lil tiny baby-dozer, cute n sweet in all of its ways, well worth saving and a crime to let it rot in the jungle. Glad that its a happy lil dozer again!🚧

  Perfect opportunity to do a spoof on Wild America, hunting the feared Kiwi bulldozer. &nbsp;Jim has spotted the baby but is on lookout for angry parents!
