I got mine from Cat when I did my 7M. They weren’t too bad as I remember. It’s a bear to do by yourself, but check your engine/transmission alignment while you’re in there. Could be the reason the old ones were shot. Good luck with your project
BP.
I would have thought your machine should have a oil clutch.
The oil clutch started with 3T23647 so this machine was built just a bit before that.
I wish it did have the oil clutch. Be a whole lot nicer for clearing timber. Does anyone have the part number for the thermoids by chance? Gonna call cat and see if they can get them today. Thnks.

You da man! Thnks! Got them ordered today supposed to have them in 3 days! Will keep you updated to progress! Thanks again!
Your welcome! Take it easy on them trees and stumps, those are clutch busters, lol
Did Cat recommended that the thermoids be installed to push instead of pull on the D7s as they did on the D8s?
No they didn’t. I had read that the d8 has them that way. What is the general thought on putting them to push instead of pull? Last longer?

"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."
