What you're about to do the guys over there combined have done a couple hundred times. The ACMOC guys will swamp you with info that will make your experience less difficult. Don't make any sharp turns and you should be able to drive her home. Join the two pads by welding a piece of chain underneath towards the outside edge of the pads so they can move independently of each other but they cannot separate. If you're worried your temporary pin is insufficient, remove a pad on either side of the break. So, take a pin or bolt and put the track chain back together. May need a little air pressure in the diesel tank (3lbs or so) to help move the fuel to the filter tower. If she's not frozen, she'll probably fire right up. It would be best if you had another tractor to drag her out of the weeds but it doesn't sound like you do. The bellhousing is bored for a starter so you can convert her to direct start if the pony is bad. From what I can see the pads don't look too bad and the sprocket tips aren't sharp. Otherwise you have a front pump to deal with besides the adjusting nut that won't make changing the fan belt fun. I'm not sure if they make one wide enough. You may be able to replace the fan belt with a segmented belt. If you spin the pony flywheel, does the main turn. Someone may have engaged the pinion on the pony motor clutch preventing the main from turning over. Second, drain and replace the pony motor oil.

If you ask these same questions over on ACMOC you'll get some additional answers.įirst, crack the oil pan drain plug on the main and see if any water comes out. With the decent undercarriage is it worth fixing it up to become a worker on my farm in Tn? Is that accurate?įinally, Currently the going price is $400 and I know that is below scrap value but I may be able to get it for free. The current owner said the tractor weighed about 10,400 pounds but that should just be the bare D4 tractor correct? Most places I have read said add another 2-4k for blade and hydraulic system.

Any thoughts on why it won't move very easily? TBH there was a lot of dirt and grime where the clutch and foot brakes were so this could be the cause as well.Ĩ. I have read it should 'snap' over center as you move it. 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.

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.

#Cat d4 manual

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 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.
