Hi KoO,
For the D6 dimension "A" is .06 - .19 in. (1/16 - 3/16 in.) at 35-40T press fit.

The dimension "A" is to be achieved after the press fit. It is not a press specification.

Hi KoO,
It's not that easy. Spec information comes from several sources. The picture is from a non Cat (F & G) manual. The dimensions are from the D6B service manual.
The D4 & D6 actually use the same dimension specification, just the press tonnage changes. Takes a sizable library to sort out all this Cat stuff.

OM, At the shop I don,t think they ever worried about the spec. there as long as the sprocket didn,t go on too far with the correct tonnage & the hub splines were far enough inside the sprocket so the nut would thread on ok & tighten up.I never was aware there was a spec. for the sprocket in relation to the hub.

Hi SJ,
Cat has a specification for everything:)

I would agree, so long as the nut doesn't bottom out on the splines your ok.
Does kind of give you an idea of where you are with the fit though.
