Good afternoon,
My name is Landen and I'm with Carter Machinery in Virginia. CAT Technical told me to post here that maybe yall could help out with a part for an old D7. It's a 48A09089, D7 with a 173B Hyd. arrangement (more info available if necessary). Anyway, I am looking for a 9S-2183 hydraulic tube for this D7, it's a RH lift cylinder tube assembly (hyd. blocks on each end with 2 tubes in between). Being so old, CAT doesn't have anything available and after checking, there's nothing used out there either. I have a diagram of the tube, if need be, I was supplied with by CAT. Any help or direction yall could give me would be a huge help, thanks a lot!

What's the Hydraulic Control s/n and blade s/n. That part number doesn't seem to show up for that s/n D7.
Edit,
9S2184 does show up as a service group replacement for a 6J1859 (RH) original tube assembly.
Used on 48A6393 -up D7.Used on 72F4006-up, 59F3109-up, 42G320-up Blades.

The field replacement is for a Type 1 cylinder, and was used on the Type 2 cylinder.
Has nothing to do with the 173B Hydraulic Control

I had to get CAT to send me the original invoice of the machine in order to find the machine's arrangement and then break it down so I could find this part number. From everything I've looked at, 9S-2183 is the correct part, I just need to source one or have one made etc. But in case you want it....Blade ser# 59F04189 and hydraulic ser# 35H01410. Thanks for your help, sir.

9S2183 is the correct part number. 9S2184 is the group number.

Gotcha, thanks for the confirmation. Any idea where I might be able to find one or possibly have one made?

Try this guy he just dismantaled a d7e his name is Jeff in central Ill 217-414-321

I think that phone number is missing a digit? Thanks a bunch for the lead! I hope he's got one.

Sorry about that it should be 217-414-7321

Here's a bunch of machines that are dismantled for parts, they should have one. You can prolly buy the whole cylinder cheap enough.
