Cat D7E 48A Blade

Also if you import one to Australia make sure it is spotlessly clean before they ship it and ask to see photos before it is shipped to confirm it has been cleaned. I imported a D330 motor from the US last year and it was supposed to be cleaned before it was sent but when it arrived here I was hit with a huge cleaning bill.

I use NowMoveUSA for shipping. I can't find any other shippers that even get close to their price. Beware though they don't tell you the import duties you will need to pay and you will need to find a broker to process it when it gets here.

Thankyou for reply Phil,,, have shipped a few things earlier,,, know about the clean !!!... I will likely go over there to ship & clean !!..They will still charge cleaning at Brisbane !!!no matter how good it is !! Regards pete

Hi D6 Pete, D7E’s were available with both 4” and 5” diameter trunnion ball blades, if you change to 5” trunnions and change the blade lift cylinder mounting points to the D7E type, you can use the blades from D7F and D7G tractors. The later D7F and D7G’s switched the tilt cylinder from the left side to the right and routed the tilt hoses inside the right push arm, all you have to do is run the tilt hoses ala D7E style between the grill and the tilt cylinder.
You will find there are many more of the later blades available and the conversion is easy enough.

Thankyou for that info Mate!,, did not know about the Trunnion size difference ,,, I had noticed that the Hyd had gone other side !!?.. Kind Regards pete.. I may still be able to aquire a D7E blade from WV ,, IF I can get away from this bad drought here in Queensland Aussie !!! .. p

Just checking ,,, any D7Es parted out !!??

I’ve got one. Bull tilt complete in good condition. There is a hold up tho. I’ve fitted it to my D7F. I still have the complete F blade assembly as well. But the blade is no good. Back worn out and broken. I haven’t modified anything. I paid $8k for the complete E assembly. If you can supply a real good condition F or G blade to fit to my original assembly I will part trade that with the E blade assembly. It’s proving too hard to work out the tilt hose set up, and I don’t want to cut up the blade arms.

Have the 48A you were looking at. May consider parting but would need to find real buyers for other stuff to make it worth it. E model SU blade with tilt.
