I'll take a shot at this. The John Deere 2 cylinder diesels were very hard to start with an electric starting motor, so they were equipped with a small gasoline (pony) motor. The pony was started with an electric starter, and then the (pony) was used to start the large diesel engine. In recent years those pony motors have become worn out, and repair parts are next to obsolete. Technical advances have been made with electric starters in recent years, to the point that an electric starter is now a better way to start the tractor than the old, worn out pony motor, so the (pony) has been (removed), and replaced with an electric starter.
