WTB Sprocket Puller

WTB Sprocket Puller was created by DWC7
Looking for a sprocket puller and the adapters to pull and rebuild final drives on Cat D7E and G model dozers.
I have a pump so all i would need would be the puller, rock shaft adapters and pulling arms etc.
Located in East Texas but dont mind paying freight if tooling is reasonable.
Not in a hurry just looking.
Thanks

I've been making up all the pulling tooling for my D2, so I have a complete set now apart from master pin plug pullers. All final drive components etc. I make use of some off-the-shelf stuff like my OTC 938 manual push-puller and Hydrafore pump and rams, and some custom fabricated adaptors.
If you can't find a seller, you can buy any size nut or bolt from Fastenal or others and turn down some adaptors and weld them all together. You can make them to work with your pulling rams and then you don't need any extra equipment

It makes me sick to think about how many that has happened to. I know where another one was that the same thing happened.

This may be what i do next. I know i can take the cylinders i have and some big all thread and pull the sprocket with no problem. Im just not sure what trouble it will give me putting it back on.
I have a big nut to fit the dead axle already because i wanted a regular nut to torque down first to draw it up then i replaced it and put the regular nut back on. just not sure what it will take to put it back on. Im sure i can figure it out once i see it off the machine.

Well, my case was simpler than your D7 because there's only one shaft to deal with and that's the sprocket shaft itself, and also because I just have to push the sprocket on until tonnage is reached. I think you have to get yours into specific relationship to the dead axle?
But in any case, I made up an adaptor with a nut that I put on most of the way to the sprocket and then I use the hollow ram to sit on top of the 938's beam that pushes on the sprocket (via a couple of standoffs) while a bolt through the hollow ram to that adaptor pulls on the shaft. Haven't used it yet but I can't see it not working because another member did this with a slightly different design.
