D6 9u parts

It's not just about worn discs. If the teeth are that worn better be looking at the splines in the drum. When they get grooved the discs can hang up and interfere with clutch operation.
www.steeringclutch.com has been a good source for parts.

Drum diameter is good until you run out of brake band adjustment.

Thanks Old Magnet,

That's the same site I was looking at. would you rely on the discs and springs from there as you would from Cat?

quite the cost savings but then you ask why?

I'm using their clutch discs, steering and main, so far all is good. Haven't used the springs but I'm sure others have. Been a reliable source for quite some time. I wouldn't hesitate to use their springs. Never can tell where Cat is sourcing their stuff from these days.

While your in there replace the pinion seals, they look like there leaking getting the clutches wet.

seals, bearings and gaskets are ordered from Cat

springs, brake kit and friction discs ordered from www.steeringclutch.com now its just wait for the parts to come. Should have everything cleaned and prepped for when they get here.

Got my parts from cat on the 24th, had the fil pick them up for me as I couldn't get there before they closed.

Of all the parts I was told the 6b5162 race had been superseded with 5p9176 which is no problem they are the experts with the parts programs right? Opened up the parts and this new race 5p9176 is a bearing not a race...... this bearing looks the same as the 6b5163 but smaller and more rollers. Have to wait now until cat opens up to call and correct this problem, so much for starting the assembly this weekend......

any idea why they would replace a race with a bearing? or just to frustrate people?

Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

6B5162 race was supereceded by 2P2810 but is now superseded by 6B5163 which is the race and roller assembly together. I don't see where the 5P9176 came into the picture, maybe some other bearing or race that you ordered.
