If you have all the stuff for the D7, 8, & 9
All you need is the D6 adapter #5F9885 (1-1/2in. - 12tpi)
Here is a rundown:
Removal
5F9040 arm group
5F7334 spacer (4,6,7,😎
Install
5F9040 arm group
5F9888 adapter/coupler (4,6,7,😎
5F9892 pin (4,6,7,😎
5F9885 adapter (D6)
7F5288 pusher group (4,6,7,😎
Pretty good chance Cat may still have the adapter.
The 5F9885 puller adapter is still available through Cat and several of the local big wharehouses have them in inventoryl ;ie, Morton, IL; Denver, CO; Miami and others. List price shows $174.09

Thanks guys. That looks the what I'm looking for.
Old Magnet, what exactly is that adapter? Is it just round steel stock with a hole that is 1-1/2 by 12 tpi? Do you happen to know how long the adapter is overall (and O.D.), and how deep the threaded hole is? Is there any reason a machinist couldn't easily make one? If I knew dimensions I might get one made.
Also, do you know if the 9U would use the same adapter as a D6D?
Thanks again.
I don't own one of these set ups to go measure.
The adapter has a two step hole. One end threaded as required, the other fits the press cylinder rod and is retained by the horizontal pin.
Thread depth would match or be close to the axle thread depth.
I don't have any info on the D6D.
Here's a picture of a typical adapter.
Don't think you can hire a machinist to make one for $175 unless it's a G job.
That makes more sense to me now, having seen the picture.
If I remove the entire final as an assembly (as you have mentioned before) will they still be able to pull the sprocket at the CAT shop? The dead shaft won't come off as well, so do they have a fitting that threads onto the bull gear hub?
The D6D dead shaft size is 1 3/4, your shaft is 1 1/2, I have had adapters made in the past without a great cost, its best to pull the rim on the tractor all you realy need is the correct adapter and a large spacer to go behind it about 7/8 to 1" thick to firm up against the hub end to pull the rim, if you were in the U.K. I would send you one for a few weeks????
all the best

Hi Joel,
If you have access to the pulling equipment why not pull your own sprocket.
I don't really know what Cat would use but I'm sure they wouldn't have any trouble pressing the assembly apart.
tc,
Glad to see your still keeping an eye on us😊 😊
I have everything but the adapter. Didn't want to spend $200 on that. 😛
With shop rates rapidly approaching $100 an hour I doubt they can set up and pull a sprocket for much less then the cost of the tool. AND you don't get a tool out it.
(which BTW you can put on ebay, or here, and recoup most if not all of it's cost)
