Yeah that's the sprocketThat roller is completely wollered out. Now to figure out how many more have suffered the same fate.

There's an entire thread on final drive repair you can read through if you haven't already, entitled "My D6D". Is there a handful of metal in the other side as well.
Sounds as though you are missing the section entitled "Specifications" for both the powertrain & undercarriage (if they are separate).The service manual gives how to replace or tear down but not how to tell when a part is out of tolerance. Is there a book I can get that does?
Yeah I can find it for the engine but the rest doesn't seem to be there. It seems as though the 76A was a rare serial number.Sounds as though you are missing the section entitled "Specifications" for both the powertrain & undercarriage (if they are separate).
Unfortunately the system does not contain information on the 76A prefix machine.
That one seems to cover a plethora of Serial Number prefixes but unfortunately not 76A.Here's some manuals on Ebay to, look like originals.

And the $64k question to ask any online seller is - “Is it complete.?” In other words is every separate document that is listed on the Contents page (1st page inside the hard cover) actually in the binder.?The problem with the Cat service manuals is that they comprise a number of separate books - Specifications, Assembly and Disassembly, and sections for each major component area.
I didn't notice that Nige, I gave the link because of all the books in the listing thinking there may be one in the complete listing if the OP looked through them all. But good catch on the one in the primary listing.That one seems to cover a plethora of Serial Number prefixes but unfortunately not 76A.
With 6000 machines built, it would seem there would be a set of manuals floating around somewhere a person was done with and would like to unload. Seems odd that the 76A model is the one that's the rarest.The 76A D6C is not rare, it was a very popular tractor, and Cat built over 6000 of them in Peoria.

But sellers pull out sections of the manuals, and try to sell them separately for big $$'s. Look for a complete service manual that hasn't been raped of the good sections.
