Caterpillar D2 parts and prices

Grab this one and keep an eye out for a parts tractor with decent undercarriage.

New D2 chain is definitely available, I believe it comes out of Italy, definitely not China, price I was quoted recently here in Australia was $US1,000 a side, though you will need to drill slightly larger pad bolt holes, I was told last night by a Aussie expert that the drill bit required for that job costs $40, and you need it running at a real slow speed.

New pins and bushes are available, I was quoted around $US900 per side to supply and fit on my D2 4U here in Oz by two different workshops 2,000 miles apart, so no chance of colluding on prices I figured😆.

Aftermarket bellow seals for the bottom rollers are also available at around $US30each, though everyone says the rollers are getting harder to find, they can be built up with weld fairly easily if necessary. A nice gentleman over on the ACME site just sold a bunch of D2 bottom rollers, like about 16 of them, plus track frames for $US75 or there abouts for the whole lot, they were located in L.A.

I bought one of those new main clutch plates from General Gear for my D2, it cost about $US180 I think, I also got my pressure plates machined as they had wallowed out. The Machinest said it was one of the hardest steels he had ever worked on and took a long time, much harder than motorcycle brake discs which he figured up till then were the hardest metal to smooth on his stone grinder.

Well thanks MIKE!--i appreciate that--i think all that stuff is up in Oregon now. 👍

No problem dpendzic, if they had been 7,000 miles closer to me I would of paid the original asking price without blinking an eyelid, I was very surprised that no one in the USA seemed all that interested in them because the price you asked wouldn't even cover the cost of filling my Toyota diesel truck with fuel to go look at them if I still lived in the Salinas Valley.

You are one of the best guy Cat guys I've come across, so it's easy to say nice things😆
