Cat D2 5U Drawbar - Swing Bar Mounting Studs

Can anyone give me a crossover for the Cat part # 4B4601 mounting studs and 1B4206 nuts for the swing bar ? Cat no longer lists them . I'd just as soon use bolts but didn't have anything on hand that was large enough .

stud 5/8 x 2-7/8 inch fine thread, nut 5/8 fine thread

Thanks Brian but I probably didn’t make myself clear enough . The studs will be screwed into a D2N winch . Will the studs still need to be the same size ?

Hyster D2N installation says to install the drawbar swing quadrant to the undersize of the winch using "hardened" 5/8-UNF x 2 1/4 with lockwashers. I would guess that "hardened" means Grade 8. So you don't need to pull the studs from the drawbar brackets to reuse in the winch (but you probably could if you wanted to). What's your tractor's serial number?

5U 14629 is serial # . Well maybe that size grade 8 bolt won’t be too hard to come by . Thanks for the info Neal .

5/8 x 2 1/4 unf very common size. in grade 8 piece of piss to get any decent bolt shop or industrial supplies joint will have them.

almost every bolt on these old girls is unc or unf. being yank designed they used SAE standards.

Got the bolts ordered , 4 for 20 bucks off Ebay . While I was cleaning the mounting bolt holes out on the winch I went ahead and installed the new steering clutch drain plugs and dropped the drawbar out from under it . It's got a nice little bow to it that I got to iron out before I can get it and the swing bolted back up .

that needs heat to straighten it. i would get the whole drawbar warm before heating the bent area more strongly and pressing straight heat relaxes the steel preventing stress damage. bury it in dry sand after wards and let cool slowly.

the easiest way to heat the whole thing is build a fire let it go to coals and bury it in the coals when its all warmed up the pull it out and work it using a rosebud torch tip to keep it heated. you would use a lot of gas trying to heat that sufficiently with a torch.

a big charcoal bbq or smoker would also work.

The holes in your drawbar look almost perfect. Not egg shaped, wallowed out.

I did some similar work here; the pin holding the tractor mount was a bugger to remove. I heated several times, generous lube/wax etc. and barely got it out using my little 30 ton press. I have lobbed off worn sections before and grafted new metal rather than fight trying to straighten one. A lot less struggling.

Have fun with the repair. You will be happy having a functional hitch. JM

I had zero luck pulling that pin from mine. I think it's in there for good. The drawbar swings so I'm good

Juice I was thinking the same thing . Just lop off the bent section and sacrifice a cheaper tractor drawbar and weld a repair section in . I don't have a working torch ( gas cost too much ) but do have welders and can easily buzz it together . The tractor has 4100 hrs on the meter but I don't think the drawbar has been used much . I actually think the D2N winch may have had something to do with bending the drawbar in the first place . It's unreal how stout these old winches are . I watched the previous owner pull down and uproot a good 12in hardwood tree just by tying a choker head high around it and letting her rip . Pretty impressive .
