I went and looked at one today and im
curious about a few things. First it would appear to be a 1949 looks pretty good minus just years of sitting. The main turns over pretty easily with turning the fan. The fluids look good was told it ran well but that it had a final out. The pony flywheel can be turned feels good the mag is missing and the fuel tank has no cap on it. I was mostly looking into for parts for my 8u 8981. Have an extra motor around and the undercarriage looks good as well. It has a straight blade with a hydraulic unit in the front. Not a hard nose. I took pictures that I will post when I get home. My question is what
would be a fair price? Will the main bolt up I know we are talking about 6 year difference but to have a spare would be nice. Also what would it weigh? Thanks

That tractor should weigh about 21,000 lbs, with the blade, hydraulic control and PTO, the engine will bolt up, maybe it's the angle of the photo, but the sprocket looks pretty worn.

Why anyone would even consider parting out that tractor rather than restoring it I could not understand.

Looks like it has a toolbar blade, a real bonus as it is something different, as well as the belt pulley, again very uncommon for a U series D6. I would also guess that the hydraulics are Cat fitment as well to suit the toolbar blade.

Buy it and restore it, a final drive repair is a bugger all of a repair problem.

Dont forget electric starter on the pony motor and 6v generator,
Nice candidate for a restoration

Thought I would give an update and also a question or two. First we got her home yesterday and much to my, my 4 year old son, and my fathers surprise we found ourselves with a strong runner. We gave her a once over checked all the fluids and Without a functioning pony dad gave us a pull and she built up oil pressure tossed the compression lever in and she fired right up. Boy she purrs like she just rolled off the line in 49. Anyhow the noted issues are this on the right side when going in reverse the sprocket will occasionally lock up. Going forwards will release it and then you can move on. However it only happened a few times then not again. The steering clutches appear to be toast and the right brake pedal sticks and you gave to pull it back. If you pull the left handle the tractor stops. Upon inspection of the steering clutch compartments there is oil in there heavy on the right and so so on the left. I will add a pic of where it is leaking looks to be from the transmission. When we checked the oil in the finals It seemed clean. So before I dive In I thought it best to get some advice. 

p.s. she will be getting a good bath this weekend,

Thanks

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Could be as simple as the right side is slipping from the oil. The clutch compartments are to be dry. But it seem there might well be 2 different things going on.

Did you ask about the final drive a week or 2 back? If that was not for you, it still seems much of the advice for that one fits here. As there was a explanation about putting a bar in the sprocket to see how much slack and slop there was before you starting dismantling. You need proper puller to remove the sprocket, so not a friendly job for most do it yourself people.

I would think if the bearings were gone in the final, oil would leak very fast. As all seem to leak a little. Hopefully other will know more.

I dont think i have asked on this one. However, i finally got all the manure and dirt pressure washed off last night so i will slap a bar in there tonight and see what happens. I did uncover where someone took a torch and blew a whole in the top of the casing. Im not sure what that was about but im stick the inspection camera in there and see what i have. Overall im very pleased with condition of the machine overall so im headed down the path of fixing.

Well after doing some more investigating it would appear the the right side steering clutch is shot. I also drained the final on the right side and was sad to see the amount of metal in the pan. I now have to decide the course i will go. I can source a lot of the parts however im not even sure where to start looking for the puller/press do accomplish this. What is the thought here? Im not afraid of the work im just not sure how one would go about it without the press. 

Thanks everyone.
