D7 4t or 3t hydraulics

What control unit is on the 4T now?

Hi,
I have a d7 17a with cable dozer.
I bought the hydraulics off a 4t but it has no model or serial numbers.
I am looking for any information---manual that may be available.
I don't know what to look for one ebay

Thanks,

Clay

I don't recognize that unit although it does somewhat look like Laplant Choate. Finding a manual might be tough. Maybe Kelly can add some insight.....

Is there a name on the pump? BeGe maybe?

clay,

Well, OM is right on. What you have is a pair of LaPlant-Choate hydraulic dozer cylinders and there mounting brackets weld to the cat dozer radiator guard (shroud), by close inspection you will find that the welding is not a factory weld. The only thing Caterpillar is the radiator shroud. As for the tank, and pump I don’t recall a LaPlant-Choate tank as the one in the photo. But, I can’t say it’s not, same with the pump, I don’t recall having an experience with the ones in the photos. I know, no “silver bullet”.

Hope everything works out for you.
