D2MOVA, would you take a close up pic of the pliers when you have time? Would like to see the details of them.

Hi Cat Tools those tools and tractor have long gone but leave it with me scan probably find some more to take a photo of Chheers

Sasquatch posted a great pic of a new D4 tool kit in this thread, I believe it is a part number 6H9832

Thanks for posting the pic. Do the screwdriver and pliers have a Caterpillar part number on them? If so could you take some close ups pics as you get time to do so?


 

 

Hello Sir, I finally found time to take pics, of what I believe are the original IB7972 Pliers and IB7973 Screw Driver, that I found in the toolbox on my 1950 5U D2, and although they don't have any CAT part numbers, I have reason to believe they are the originals, given the history of this tractor (which you can read about here: www.acmoc.org/bb/discussion-d72/27964-fo...-3940-original-hours) and the fact that I found no other tools in the box that obviously weren't genuine CAT tools. The only markings I found were on the pliers, were 'Made in USA' cast into each of the handles and 'K16 Motor Duluth' stamped in near the pivot on one side, the Screw driver well may have had something cast or stamped into the handle but, this has long since worn off after rattling around in the toolbox for the past 72 years!

Thank you for the great pics Markds3.

Your pliers were made  by Diamond in Duluth Minnesota. I am a little skeptical that the pliers are Cat only because Cat puts numbers on all or most of their tools and even puts numbers on their parts including o-rings.   Perhaps long ago they didn't number everything like they do now.
The screwdriver I have no idea. I will post it on another site and see if anyone can identify the maker.

Anyone else have pliers and/or a screwdriver with a Cat number on them?

 

most likely that screw driver wouldnt be original as the handle is blue plastic not bakelite like evey other handle or knob on these old girls. the original probably had a timber handle as was common back then.

Found this goodie along with lots of spare parts from one of my D4s. Too nice to use.

What is it for?

Filling lifetime type track rollers and idlers with oil used with a volume compressor pump.
