did the D4 7U increase in horsepower as the series matured?  lets say a 1957 model five roller D4 compared to a 7U of earlier years?  did the transmission group stay the same all the way through?

D46U straight blade,D46U cat angle blade,allis chalmers AD4 grader and Khoering 404 dragline. D4C 40A,D4 2T and scraper.

Speaking of the D315 engines, I can notice a lot of difference in the horsepower and sound of my 112 3U (1949) and my D4-7U (1950) particularly the RPM's. 112 much higher pitch.

Thanks OM.

Old Magnet, footnote # 12, I assume* must be the break between 955C and 955E at 12A5793? that's good to know the rack setting are different. Thank you.

Phildirt put the shift pattern just above where he wrote "I mostly see...." There's only one shifter, and instead of a fifth gear, it has LR and HR

Thanks much. i guess this arrangement was for bulldozer application instead of as an agriculture tractor?
