Also will redo the brakes while all is out ,,, Question ,, will I find plates etc in Aussie ,, may need a drum as well ,,and will likely need new springs ,,, not pulled out yet ! . Looks like Cat dealer has the brake linings new ! .... Regards peter

There's a 2U carcass in toowoomba but it can be difficult to get part's of them.
2U will be a different part number but the complete clutch should fit.
Bit of a job to do what you have to do but good lifting equipment helps.
Tillys handed me blank linings that were not drilled recently so I declined them and used some blank linings like already had.
Make sure to replace the bull pinion seals while you are in there.
