HI Jaffa

In this part of the world we call them pups but others know them as pony engines. Here is an in-progress shot of the engine. It is scratch built from parts box pieces. main block is made from blower casings and fuel injection housings from drag race engines.

Here is a shot of the pony (pup) in the finished dozer

For those of you who are not familiar with earlier Cats, they used a 2 cylinder gas powered engine to start the main diesel engine. These were known as pup or pony engines and were usually crank started. The AMT kit comes with an electric start engine

Thanks for looking

Thanks
