The main engine clutch would only moved about 2" forward and backward. I was able to shift into 2 of the gears, the gear **** moved freely but I was only able to get it into 4 and High Reverse.
#Cat d4 7u driver#
The controls on the engine for de-compression, and pony motor controls were a little stiff but I was able to move them with some help from a big screw driver as a lever. The chrome on one of the rams has a few spots of rust.can I get these rechromed or just replace them?ĥ. This Tractor has a straight blade with manual tilt, the hydraulics looked good and were free when I moved the handle. I used a cheater bar and was able to get the engine to turn slightly, is there anything I should check other than fluid prior to trying to get the engine started either via the pony or pull starting?Ĥ. Has anyone ever seen a track pin break? One of the pins in the "broken" track looked like the ends broke off.but I Have never seen this happen but I guess metal fatigue over 50 years could do it.ģ. Is there anything I should know about this tractor, I have read it could possibly have a wet main clutch based on S/N and year? Also is the pony motor on this tractor different than earlier D4's?Ģ.
#Cat d4 7u serial number#
It is a 44,xxx serial number D4, I know that is basically at the end of production. I will try and number my questions below:ġ. I am going to try and save her as the undercarriage looked pretty good, lots of life left in the pads, sprockets also looked to be recently replaced and the "solid" front idler was not worn. No milky residue in the oil and the fuel looks decent for sitting 10 or so years (at least it wasn't varnish). The pictures below don't do it complete justice but I checked the fuel, oil and radiator fluid and it all looks good. It had obviously been there a while, the story he got from the original owners was that it had "broken a track" and they had parked it in the early to mid 2000's.įor the money he was asking I thought what the heck, grabbed some tools and a good battery and headed over. I went and saw a Cat D4 7U yesterday near my house in Dayton, the nice gentlemen had purchased the property and it was sitting in the woods near his house.
