    Insurance bought my D8H. So I bought a d7h

    So my 8H high horse had a fire start under the trans and burnt all the hoses. We got it out but it got hot enough to boil the oil in the torque so they wrote it off. I thought it was rather unfortunate because it was a premium old unit. And searching for a good used dozer can be time consuming...

    Any old pony engine pros here?

    D7E-47A pony engine parts?

    as you can see there's some chipped\worn teeth on the backside of the flywheel, so obviously that wont work with the pup anymore since it engages from the back. would converting it to electric be an option since starters engage from the front side?

    D7E-47A pony engine parts?

    I need to pull out my pony engine. I think the bendix gear has a bad tooth. it jumps around pretty badly and engages rough. is there anywhere left to get parts for these old girls? I prefer not to convert to electric if I don't have to.
