Hyster / Caterpillar model D4D towing winch designed for a 7U D4 tractor. This is a powerful, quiet running veteran. This winch is complete with everything from all the controls to the studs, bolts, nuts and washers and the seat risers that are required to mount. About 75’ of 5 wire ¾” good cable is included. All you have to add is a gasket and tail chain and hook. The control link cables are in excellent condition.
It was sandblasted to white metal and primed with etching primer and painted old Cat yellow several years ago. The paint is grred up where the cable rubbed. The oil was changed when it was last used.
The Hyster serial number tag is missing but these numbers/ letters are stamped on a side plate:
MOD – BDW
SN – 116983
I can provide a copy of the mounting/ operating instructions from Hyster.
It is a takeoff that I used for several years on my 7U (replaced with a D4N).
Don’t waste your time or mine thinking that you can buy it for 9 cents a pound.
Call or send me a private message via this site. I will not discuss price on this bulletin board. Your only guarantee is that I am accurately describing the unit and your own personal inspection.
It will be strapped to a new pallet and loaded on your truck or trailer. Probably weighs about 1200 pounds. Transportation may be arranged in the northeast US. The winch is located in NW Pennsylvania.

Anyone know if it is reasonably possible to fit this to a early D4D direct drive. Not afraid of some fabrication, just don't want to get into to crazy of an ordeal.

You would have to deal with the D4D tractor having 7/8" NF studs and the D4D winch is 3/4" NF.
Also the lower bolt pattern is different (wider) on the D4D tractor vs the D4D winch.
You would also probably have to fabricate your own drive shaft for the conversion.
If you can find a Hyster D4E or F winch they have a dual bolt pattern.

Here is the hardware that goes with the unit to attach to a 7U/ 6U tractor:



This is the shop made "high hitch" drawbar that goes with the winch. It bolts up to the winch side plates and gives you a high point drawbar.

Thanks OM. Food for thought. Do the top holes line up with just the different size studs. Thinking of the possibility of installing a heavy spacer plate and off set the lower holes. Setting back another 1 or 2 inches may not hurt if I have to modify the driveshaft anyway. I have been looking for a D4E or F for over a year now with nothing complete and decent showing up. I will keep looking. Got plenty of other projects to keep me busy.

Top holes line up, not totally sure on the ones for the case top which often need to be fabricated anyway. Not a problem to have the winch stand off the mounting with an adapter plate. The two speed/low speed winch versions come that way to give clearance for the gear reduction housing.
Picture of D4E two speed/low speed showing dual bolt pattern and one spacer block in place.

Need to correct former statement. The D4E Hyster has the dual bolt pattern. The D4F is later pattern only. Tough to keep all this straight!!!!

Thank you. So for my D4D either the E or F model would work then.

Yes, either one.
