Hopefully there'll be some video for those of us not able to visit - thanks for posting ezcat!
Can we get some more photos of the AG4? It's my understanding they only built a handful of them.

Very nice. Tell everyone about the D5 too please? If that is the same one I read about, you have a JD drive train in it? Thanks! JM

Here is The Run Down on Cat D5C , Built at our shop for the Farm, Cat D5c dozer used to built from , Built because of the want of a farm crawler with a more Reliable eng, and live pto , and more speed , thus we put in a 6.8 deere eng , deere 7610 16speed power quad trans ,2-105 white pto, works like dream, since have sold the dairy cows so they get used on the brush hog , box blade , show piece , also built a second one , only smaller .

What a challenge matching and building the DEERE/CAT. Interesting backnote to a couple of the photos - Corn still on the cob and then in cribs. I had not seen corn in cribs since I was a pre-teen and then only for the half-dozen hogs Dad raised, cribs were nothing but 4' hogwire cage in the barn, under cover and on concrete floor. Yours appear to be outside with no side coverings? Everything here in N. California goes through the combine and bulk process. Thanks for the interesting thread. - cts

Yeah , picking corn on cob is a thing of the past , altho we picked corn for our dairy cows as long as i can remeber till last year when we sold the cows , but still have a corn picker could pick some yet if someone wanted some.

What a huge job. Interesting mix of components, including the 2-105 PTO. How many hp is the tractor now? Your speed range is excellent - you can find a gear for any job, and if I recall correctly, inside each range the shifting is powershift? Does the tractor have a regular clutch? How did you manage the transition from the QuadRange output to the bevel/crown gear?
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
