Question:

How do I try to start an old Caterpillar D6 bulldozer?Cold start old start?

Its heen sitting since 2000.Never started it on my own,saw it done as a hild but dont remember.Theres a.pony motor and thats literally all i know.Please outline the procedure and anything to look for that would mean theres no way it will start .I cant even tell were the start button or lever or whatever is.

Answer:

first step bleed check the fluids and bleed the fuel system of the main eng. if you want, change oil, but id get it warm first. next, get the pony motor running,make sure its in neutral. , make sure diesel valve or electric cutoff is on, engage pony motor. it should take off. might also want to look for a power cutoff. last d8 i drove had one.
