Just wondering if this has been done much, or if there is a good parts source?

Thanks.

You need a parts machine to scavenge. Could be done with new components, but finding a CAT setup would be simplest.

D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

Thanks, I've been searching but not finding many leads on rippers or hydraulics.

Around 30 years ago we took a hydraulic hard nose off of a D-7E and cut 4 close to inches out of the center to narrow it down to the frame width of our 3T and it is still working today. The Cat 7S dozer has hydraulic and cable options from the factory.

D-4 7U-43159 with 4S dozer and Cat 40 scraper, D-7 3T-1179 with Cat 7S hydraulic dozer, D-7 17A 13,944, D-8 14A-1160 with Cat 8S cable dozer, Cat 12-99E-4433 Grader. All runners and users.
