That would be a LeTourneau and should have tag like this on it but they were made by Heil Co. and Garwood Co. under LeT pattens durring the war

Looks to be a Model "R" LeTourneau adapted to the D4. Normally this unit would be mounted on a D7 or D8.

The Power Control Unit instruction book I have covers the R, T, FTD7 and N series models. The form # is 0-139 (80 pages) dated 1942.

My copy is pretty ripe and I don't want to subject the binding to flat scanning but I can probably help you with specific questions.

The "R" unit would be found on the famous War II D7-3T and included in the wartime production service manuals.

Also would need to know the serial number, especially if it has a "A", "B", or "C" suffix code at the end of the serial number.

The manual is kind of messy to use as it refers to different models for portions of the service and repair information.

That looks like a good candidate manual. Did you find the actual serial number on your "R" model?

One thing I always wanted to know about the military D4's, that had the LeTourneau dozer kits, PCU, ridge beam and blade, is that it seemed many of them were set up with a LeT single drum PCU and a hyster towing winch, (and probably ordered that way) how were both powered from the single rear pto shaft, somehow they had to work together.

That is the one, looks like an N model, single drum, so that unit was designed to fit with the Hyster and they worked as one by use of gears, they obviously must each have their own separate controls, but are powered as long as the master clutch is engaged, something to always remember when firing one of these up. I'm familiar with the R7 PCU like on my D7, LeT must have also made a double drum model to fit a D4 without the towing winch,

The side by side ones that look like 2 R7's shown in their manuals, must have been fun to operate, those levers can be dangerous, I had one release once that would have clobbered me on the side of the head, this one had some oddball high seat instead of a factory one, so it lined up perfectly with your noggin and that spring sure has some energy to release, I'll bet it could seriously injure someone.

Regret unable to give you the serial number(can't find it!!!) Any hints where to look? Plenty of paint etc to shift.
Thanks, Bob

"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."
