[chet]

[wiam]

Nope.

Well it appears to have a flat head screwdriver slot and since the head is so big I would say its some type of cap screw.  Not sure what to but thats my guess.

Looks like one a dem dar dohickey thing a majobs to me.  Bet it's pretty important too ;)

[pigman]

I think Corley 5 is right. It is a dohicky off of a Caterpillar.

[Kirk_Allen]

Looks similar to a Ruger Scope Ring screw. 

[UNCLEBUCK]

Mark M will know , he is a caterpillar doctor/chemist but before Mark M gets here I am going to change my answer and say its a Caterpillar scope ring screw !  ;D good luck wiam

[DanG]

I always wondered how a feller would go about aiming one of them things. ??? :P

[wiam]

I really do not know if Mark M has seen one of these, but yes it is off from an old D 2.  It is hard to see in the picture but yes there is a screwdriver slot in it.  There are7/16 fine threads around the slot.  And yes I do know where it goes but one was missing. :(

[Buzz-sawyer]

I wouild say thats part of a magneto.

[Mark M]

Do you have a little sharper picture Wiam? I can't quite make out what it is, how long is it?

Give me a few more clues. It isn't a tappit adjuster is it?

[wiam]

Mark,  that is the best of the pictures. :-\   The  overall length is 5/8".  "Behind the motor."

Will

[Mark M]

Well I was thinking a grapple tube fister mount but I just can't see the detail. :'(

[wiam]

Mark,  do you remember what a pony motor was?

Will

[Mark M]

Sure do, I even fixed a few but not a D2, mostly the bigger ones ones with the engine on the side.

[wiam]

Mark,  please excuse part names. :D  These hold the spring in the rear of the shaft which keeps the pony transmission engaged with flywheel.  Clear as mud. :  The one we have(and the spring), I found in the bottom of the case under the clutch, with a magnet.  I think the other one has to be in there somewhere.

Is this worse than no clue????

Hey Mark! Sorry to change the subject here, (not really ;D) but I am still waiting for the CAT parts. Every day UPS shows up, and I go running out thinking for sure that he must be bringing some parts, but everyday I am disappointed.  :'(      You must be saving them all for the piggy roast, eh?!  ;)
