Went to look at a D7 today. Turns out it was a D7 serial # 3t19792 took some pictures and measured the tracks left side average is 8.21" and 4 1/16" and right is 8.18" and 4 3/16" but not sure what make the chains are tho. Hyster D7D winch on the back, pup start and pads have 4" welded onto each side ( was told it almost walks on water) and hydraulic track tensioners ( are these added after? or original)
When I talked to the owner on the phone he said he doesn't know anything about caterpillars and he bought this a few years ago when he was a tractor short. He was pulling diamond drills around swamps. So he bought the tractor and pulled the blade then went pulling machinery around. Told me they don't try to move fast so he never looked into the wired in first gear shift and left it at that. Then said that it has a dry clutch whatever that means. What would you offer? That was the most of the conversation.
Internet searches bring up that its an ok tractor. Year would be around 50-51. What would you offer? Scrap value due to the questionable tranny? Rollers and sprockets are worn and it looks like 14693 hours if that seems right. Seals are all wet but still holding oil from sitting a year or so. He might hang up on me if I offer 2k 😊
would you touch it? I havnt heard it run, he said it would start right up
