D4 7U Brake replacement question was created by toddsmith23
I have the service manual, but hard to see if i can remove & replace the brake bands with a) Transmission cover removed, and b) Winch installed.
I'd have access to the top of the bands, but do i need the winch removed to access the back side?
thanks in advance

Trans cover removed, No need to remove the winch. Unless the control shaft is in the way.

There is a control shaft that goes into a gear box of sorts on top of the winch. Can this be removed from the winch?

Here's a picture of the control shaft & gear box on top of winch. I'm thinking i can remove the gear box & shaft, then pull the trans cover. Sound about right?
looks like i'm going to need the Cat publication for the winch...
BTW: any idea what the winch might weigh? I'm guessing 1500 lbs or so..?

Supposedly my D2 winch is 800#. I can't imagine the D4 winch would be twice as heavy if that weight is accurate?

You only need to pull the winch if you are doing steering clutches.. You can remove that top cover of the winch once the seat is removed. It is just a single fork in there that hangs straight down. D4/D4N winch is ~1300lbs as Rome said.
The winch manuals are free here: www.alliedsystems.com/pubs/pubs.php# (go to allied winch/parts manuals/archive).

Just to clarify, I think you meant "just remove the transmission cover", if I'm correct?

Yes, remove only the trans cover (i'm replacing it with a 2 piece anyway). Hoping not to remove the winch as all my heavy equipment is 450 miles east of the D4....

This is great info! The winch will be a future project, the drum is cracked in half.. not sure it's viable at this point without a donor.
