Blade and ripper Id on cat d4 7u

Blade yes, ripper no, cab....oh boy!

Hi, Relic.
Neat find. Yep, as Rome K/G said, the blade, including the hydraulics are Cat. Cat never made a ripper for that model of D4 as they were basically designed as an agricultural tractor - although pretty much everybody who ever had one wanted it to do a D9's job - some testament to their design that so many of them survived.

Now that canopy - that's a WHOLE nuther story. I guess it didn't hurt the traction much but it wouldn't have done much for the sideways stability of the tractor.

Just my 0.02.

I've got the same angle blade and it is good news and bad news. Handy at times blading snow but a PITA for general dozing because the blade is so far in front of the tractor. Threatened to cut it off numerous times to get the blade closer to the tractor. That canopy is something else. At first glance I thought it was made out of lumber.

our machine has virtually the same blade just doesnt hang as far forward anyone know what model blade it is. ours was converted by a previous owner and it was originally a farm crawler

There are parts books for many blades on the library, these may help identify this particular one.

The reason Relic's blade looks so far forward is his machine has the 4 roller frames, could yours be the same way D4Jim?
