Hello everyone I am looking for a few parts or some good pictures of this stuff so I can make it my self I can't make it all but at least some of it I am missing the lower tin work for the sides all so need the fuel selector valve controls I am looking for a temperature gauge doesn't have to be in new condition or even real good condition but needs to work I also need what ever they used to hold the rear of the hood down and would like to find a tool box and a canopy like I said any good pics or measurement or someone close by that would be kind enough to let me study there's would be greatly appreciated

where r u located, I will be going to a yard with a R2 tomorrow

Central Nebraska and I haven't even had a chance to look around here yet just got it home Monday had to go 1000miles one way to pick it up was wondering wouldn't the side panels and temp gauge be same as d2 of that same series

I have some R2 tractors and parts I am in central Nebraska. You are welcome to come look and shop or just study tractors.I am in Fairmont Ne. 402 268 6451

Be careful getting Engines side Panels ,there a couple Types, I think left side [from behind ] is same but right side are different ,Temp gauge is available from Cat still [ 6B6792 , will upgrade to a new Number ], 2" with a 2 1/2" Bezel . The Bonnet attaching Clamps are easily made , need 1/4 steel bar cut 2' x1 3/4 and drill and tap 3/8 " UNF hole and use 1' Bolt with washers and 4 Off You then need to put a small "Roundness" in them so they slide under lip on Fuel Tank . Bonnet for those is a little more difficult to make , But you should find a s/h one with luck . Toolbox I believe is still available from Cat .Strongly suggest You get a Parts book on Flea bay or Cat will still supply I think .R2's are a great little machine , so good luck with yours LJ

Thank you folks are huge help this is my first cat and I am having a great time with it I am so impressed with how good of condition this little machine is in can't believe I bought it so cheap I am actually taking it over to a local tractor show today would not believe that I only paid $260 for something bring it home and in less than a week go to show thank you all again for your help

Do you have a choke rod, that goes from bottom of carb to front?
Now for the tough stuff, how about a ring gear & starter as long as I am wishing.
