Day of the big move!!!!!!D4 7U Traxcavator

If I read the serial plate correctly it is a 1952 according to the ACMOC Track-Type Machines Serial Number Reference Manual.

That new tractor will do a lot of work, I have had two of them for about twenty years. Is that one still all original. I have one with the direct start conversion.

Chappy

Yes chappy its still all original as far as I know.. If anyone can help I need parts supplier for a water pump.Or a pump rebuild kit..Also when I pull the flywheel clutch back to go It doesnt cam over and stay and also if you just hold it in place the clutch slips so bad it barely moves.Plus I need to reseal the elbow from the block to the pony motor its leaking coolant.Thanks for any info and help you can give Thanks Dan

Dan, I've had the same clutch issue in the past. I forgot the clutch adjustment process but it isn't that difficult. Maybe some could scan a page from the Cat manual and post it here. Takes about 30 minutes to complete. I'll check to see if I
have a spare water pump.

Chappy I bought a service manual that will help me. I have looked at the parts suppliers on here but they all need part numbers so I have to come up with a parts book too.I also see that the grease buttons are very large compared to the ones I use in the mine I work in. So I have to buy an end to fit them do you happen to know what size they may be? From what a guy that knows cats well he said that the chain and rollers are in about 75% I am surprised since it is a 1952. So I wanna keep my rollers greased well and try and keep the drive in top shape.Thanks to all who have replied I am trying to soak up all the info I can to get my cat in better shape.Thanks again Dan

I just found out My traxcavator was used in a local mine to load ore at the mill.I am trying to find pics of the loader in use and some more history. I am only the third owner. I will look into this grease garlic pete is talking about . I have a chevron rep come around once in awhile ill ask him.Ill keep you posted how things go. Still looking for a water pump rebuild kit or water pump for the old girl. Thanks for all the help Im taking it all in and writing it all down.Thanks again Dan

Dan,

I have several volume guns with that fitting in my collection, just wish you were a little closer. I'll hold on to one for you in case you make it out to Southern California.

Chappy

Chappy!!!! Is there a picture of one of those volume guns on here? Heck we have alot of old tools and grease guns up at the mine maybe we have one.
