I saw a few old D4’s rigged with a 12 volt starter on the fender, set up to pivot. Had a V belt to pony motor pulley. Had a battery, and a bar for a handle to put tension on the belt to crank the pony motor. Worked pretty good. I’ve yanked on a starting rope more than I cared to. Might be why my shoulder is shot. If you’ll grab the plug wire end coming out of that magneto while cranking, it’ll start faster. LoL
Back in the 60s in Sth Australia, I drove a Cat D6 37a with a pony motor that was looked after and started easily. Then in the late 70s I was contracting to put in bush tracks for loggers in Tasmania. They had an old 933 Cat loader with a pony and it was a real pain in the rear. I used to walk about a mile to get a log skidder to tow start the Cat with the winch. It was easier than trying to start the Cat by hand. Almost pulled the bucket through the fairlead before I was able to stop the winch.
My dad and I had an ole D4, 7U back in the mid 70,s, it was a little newer than this one. The fuel tank was behind the seat. I started it with a rope, the first time, standing on the track. The rotten rope broke, over backwards I went, landing on my head on the frozen ground, I wuz lucky to not have broken my neck. After that I always pulled the rope standing on the push arm. We used to skid logs with it. When I went to log skidders, I sold the D4 to the farmer we were working for. That was 40 years ago, I think its still on that place. I will check on it .
I ran my first dozer when I was 8 years old. It was a 1955 D4 and I had a blast. 11 years later I got a job with a company that had that same dozer and man did it bring back memories, the iconic sound of the pony running, then the diesel taking over. I ran that little 4 for 33 yrs before retiring in 2008. The company still has it in use. I dont miss the hand clutch, steering and blade levers compared to today's servo controls.
Very cool old Cat, that is a lot of time and work, tell him great job! Was a D4 that was similar sold down here a few years back for around 5,000, showed 500 hours on the meter.
You are spot on about the loader hydraulic kick out. I drove a 966 c way back when. It was set up so that it would kick out so that the bucket would be level when it was lowered to the ground. Helped with safety as well because, being a two lever set up for the hydraulics, one could lower the bucket while the tilt looked after itself, so you're not driving around as much with the bucket raised.
Jaypaydirt, 7 weeks ago I had an accident on the farm and have been out of work and found your channel. I have binge watched most of your videos while sitting at home recuperating 😆. Absolutely the BEST channel on the Tube. Keep up the good work you make me anxious to be back pulling levers and shinin' cuttin' edges 🤣 🤣!!!
It is easy to put those projects on hold. Just got my old Michigan loader, I mean “Tractor Shovel” back together after nearly five years of disassembly. Now for that D7! Soon...
Could not see how he shut off the pony motor... It is necessary to cut off the fuel and let it suck the carb dry. To just kill its ignition and leave gas in the carb is a no-no, it will leak into the crankcase and dilute the oil. There is precious little oil in those pony motors to start with, and its splash oiled at that... Keep em running! that is living history, the sound of America being built.
A starter/generator from a Koehler engine such as on a cub cadet or simplicity works great, just v Belt it to the rope pulley grove. I’ve done it on my D4 and D2.
You know it looks little but many things change dimensions on the camera but that block is massive! Looks like 70% of the machine is motor. Now this is REAL Cat iron at its finest. 🦾
great to see another wanting to restore these ol' warriors..and these machines were helping to build America after the War....great video..the sound alone is worth it..
Cheers for placing me on the white board girls and to you bro. Enjoyed this video on the D4 too. Stay safe up your way. No new cases for 15 days here in NZ so the lock down worked well here.
Everytime I see old Kenny I'm reminded of his rebuild and when we were offered some of his parts if we asked. Well, I asked and was told it would happen. For my part I offered to pay for shipping. Anyway, I guess things got too busy or there was not enough interest, but I have never lost mine. If I offered, I would follow through.
So great to see the D4! Mine is a far cry from a show piece and that's fine for now as I enjoy my young grandkids learning to operate it. Looking at an old truck with a 3408 that is blown. I was considering replacing it with a 1693 and was told I'd lost my mind. Ever had any dealings with the 08? I loved my 93s.
Mr. Paydirt, the old D4 was pretty cool, but it don't quite beat the "little young'uns" doing the whiteboard. Thank the little ladies for their work.. Thank you sir.
We had a 966C with one of those bucket levelers that actually worked. You put the the lever in detent and once the bucket reached the right spot it kicked back to neutral. I preferred to just do it by eye though.
I noticed the traverse spring on the undercarriage, not good for controlling a blade. I used to hear stories of people replacing this spring with a hard bar on dozers. The spring was great for tractor use.
New subscriber here Jeff . Your videos are addictive and your accent impersonations are gold 🤣. Cheers mate Gus from Hamilton Victoria Australia . I drive a Kenworth 909 pulling double log trailers . Cheers 👍
Man I love that D4, It take me back in the days, hope you can find a blade for it, I will let you know if i can get my hands on a blade where i come from..good video bro..!!
Jeff and D4 friend did you see squach253 advice video on pony motor use. Do not turn off magneto on pony when the engine is started.shut off the fuel and run the carb dry. This prevents the carb from flooding the pony motor and diluting the quart of oil in the pony motor causing failure of the pony motor.
Lookout Jake, Matts stealin your limelight mate! I've got a bigger 4Cyl version to show when I figure out what I'm doin with the editing. Hope you're All doing well Uncle. Take care, and Catch up soon. Ado
No survivors were buried on either side of the mighty Mississippi. I was watching Logger Wade and saw a JPAYDIRT sticker on his service truck, those stickers really get around. I wander how the D4 would handle a switch blade turbo? Stay safe out there, hotter than s?1t here in TN.
👍🤩 AWESOME / AWESOME YEAR - 1945 🥃🥃 🎂 There are many models of "US OLD GEMS" still (MOTIVATING) this KRAZIE WORLD !!! THANKS JEFF, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE has a blade awaiting the hard surface rod and revival.........😍😍😍😍😍
Got my green anti-viral hat! Enjoy your videos. A lot of people recommended Squatch253's channel. Awesome content. He's done videos on almost all parts of those crawlers.
hey J i have a complete dozer like your man is trying to put together problem is its in Australia it runs but it has a temper only time it ever conks out is deep in a cocks bur bush or blackberry thicket got the blade all you want never liked how high the agg crawler gears were way too high in my opinion but for what it is it still saved a lot of work
My buddy was the officer that got shot in the head Monday night. He is in critical condition on life support. He is a bike cop and the doctor told us if he didn't leave his helmet on he wouldn't have had any chance of still being alive like he is today, hopefully he will make it out of this to good of guy to lose him.
Jeff, Jeff, Jeff (put my head down and nod back and forth) no, no, no ... Don't tell me she didn't pick up the boxes - ditch!*.... Now what am I going to wear to the wedding?! * Sorry byslexic.
Yes, there is a leaf spring that goes from one track frame to the other and supports the engine. The tracks pivot at the sprocket so they are flexible.
Totally worth watching just to hear those wee girls read out the names at the end. The engine in that D4 sounds really sweet. The main engine that is, but I guess the donkey engine sounded OK. How fast does it go? I looked to be fair whipping along at the start of the video.
That pony is running rich, not coming up to speed, making main hard to start. You can hear when he cuts the gas off it speeds up just before it runs out.

I found a mint 1 of these in Alaska in the middle of nowhere still has paint on tracks.
It’s nice to see somebody else knows how to pour oil out of a bucket!!
That thing is PRETTY. 👀👌😍👍
Makes me happy when people go around repairing these forgotten Gems. 😊

You cant even imagine how awesome it is to see thAt ole girl goin again!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤
Nice looking D4 glad to see it being restored hopefully you can find a blade for it.
Very cool seeing the D4 drive around, just needs a Switchblade!!
The boys need to dig up an electric start for that Pony!
Simply awesome 👍👍thanks for putting this up Jeff
Very cool old dozer. Lots of time put into that to get it going again. Now we will be looking for a blade and c frame for an old D-4...
Very cool old Cat, that is a lot of time and work, tell him great job! Was a D4 that was similar sold down here a few years back for around 5,000, showed 500 hours on the meter.

that so takes me back. my grandfather had a D-4 when i was a kid.... that thing runs pretty sweet.

Well thought someone would have mentioned it by now,....
you don't bury the SURVIVORS ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
My buddy found one last winter. We pulled a bunch of logs out the bush with it. We were amazed with the power. Pretty cool.
It is easy to put those projects on hold. Just got my old Michigan loader, I mean “Tractor Shovel” back together after nearly five years of disassembly. Now for that D7!
Soon...
Jpaydirt and coffee in the morning it just don't get any better than that.
Ah... the '40;s. When things were made to last an enterinty.

I shut off the fuel
After the float stuck and filled the crankcase with gas
Very nice little dozer
Looks to be doing a real nice job with the old 4,nice seals on hydraulic lines,motor sounds good, looks cool with the tops,neat little Bush dozer

I miss the start up sounds. My Dad bought one new in 45. Sitting in my shed now waiting for me to have time to use it.
Could have used that machine to move a couple of out buildings. Thank you for the upload. Excellent video Jeff.
Nice too see the old iron getting restored 👍🏻

Nice, quite interesting. Think I'll stick with my pull rope/pony motor and my over head LeTourneau cable system. Nice tractor all in all, enjoy.
I have a TD14A international with a overhead Le Tourneau cable blade. None of that pesky leaking hyd oil.
Very nice, the old Binders are great machines, along with the Alliss Chalmers.
I noticed the traverse spring on the undercarriage, not good for controlling a blade. I used to hear stories of people replacing this spring with a hard bar on dozers. The spring was great for tractor use.
HI J , I knew a farmer who had a D 4 U with a pony motor . He put a starter with a v pulley on it to start the pony .
It's going to be a nice machine and it already is.👍
I know where a blade is... well a whole machine. Hauled it home for a neighbor friend of mine👍
New subscriber here Jeff . Your videos are addictive and your accent impersonations are gold 🤣. Cheers mate Gus from Hamilton Victoria Australia . I drive a Kenworth 909 pulling double log trailers . Cheers 👍
All those old levelers kicked the bucket lol o
Man I love that D4, It take me back in the days, hope you can find a blade for it, I will let you know if i can get my hands on a blade where i come from..good video bro..!!
Love those vintage cats
Wish I could give this 10 thumbs up
We had a D4 probably early 50's it had a serge tank on the hood for the hydraulics
That D4 would make a great tractor for pushing Scrapers wouldn’t it ? 🤣🤣.

Love them old dozers. Part of a Proud American Heritage.
Love the baby crawler Awesome !
Got my shirt! The girls will be knocking my door down 😂
I'd check with Squatch back there in minnesota, he's got the cat hookup.
Well i see old kenny is still around I didn't know if he still had it!
Pal of mine lives off the grid in zero degree NorCal and his starts in the winter.
I love all the pony start stuff! Ran a 46a d8h with a pony never had to worry about pulling key lol
Them girls are going to breeze through geography with all the white board learning
I run one of them when I was 18 putting a road through the mountains for log trucks to come out. Think I age 10 years in one week. 😁
Excellent video Jeff 👍🏾

Well, a little less sleep tonight won't hurt.
Won a war came home and plowed the fields. A century on track.
That's a rad ol mosheen!
How many pulls on that rope for the pony motor? enquiring minds want to know !
Did you know,...... that’s the same pony as in a John Deere R?
Ive got a balderson blade on a junk 1949 wide guage D4 I am in N E Arkansas.
As a North Carolinian, we would throw them in the river and let the river figure it out.
Thanks for the hat Jeff

Hello Jeff. Is that seres 3 engine oil.
Nice like my 1957 7u series
Those grandbabies are adorable! Good job helpin with the white board. Still have the A car or was it a White?? Can't remember
Would a T3 blade be the same? Cause I know where there's a T3 with a blade that's being parted out last I knew
Can vegitable oil be use???
Contact Squatch253 he might know where to get a blade
Youngfordkid is in Idaho and has connections for Cat parts you need.
A John Deere model B uses the same blade set up ???
My buddy was the officer that got shot in the head Monday night. He is in critical condition on life support. He is a bike cop and the doctor told us if he didn't leave his helmet on he wouldn't have had any chance of still being alive like he is today, hopefully he will make it out of this to good of guy to lose him.

I use gear oil to lub. Rollors
80w90 at 40 below its grease anyway
Sucker Juice! Ready for the sale.
I've got a blade that might work on it it goes to a d4 7u looks like it'll fit right on that its a standard straight blade
This is matt I would love to get my hands on a 4s dozer all my hydraulics are borrowed from a 7u where are you at
Did u sand blast it befor painting it
No, he steam cleaned it and that took it down to it's olive drab paint
The start of this video was some old footage!! Old Kenny was still in one piece!
Yes and I wish it still was
@@Jpaydirt Well sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. :-)
So does that old cat have some sort of suspension or front suspension on it? I noticed the leaves in the front.
Yes, there is a leaf spring that goes from one track frame to the other and supports the engine. The tracks pivot at the sprocket so they are flexible.
Totally worth watching just to hear those wee girls read out the names at the end. The engine in that D4 sounds really sweet. The main engine that is, but I guess the donkey engine sounded OK. How fast does it go? I looked to be fair whipping along at the start of the video.
3000 RPM on the donkey.
That pony is running rich, not coming up to speed, making main hard to start. You can hear when he cuts the gas off it speeds up just before it runs out.
Acmoc chapter 23 can help source a dozer and parts. We have several members here in Idaho and Utah. PM me for details.
I have a D4 5T also...from Western Equipment..
I'll tell Matt
How do I contact you
