    CAT D3-79U blade swivel cap needed

    Looking for the 6-way blade swivel cap for our newly acquired CAT D3-79U (s/n D3 79U 0809). We just got this machine this morning as a trade to use for our small mining operation that runs well with good hydraulics other than slight seal seepage in the blade lift cylinders, and a loose track...

    John Deere 2010 Track Loader/Backhoe - Final Drive seal needed

    Prospects for finding something new or used for our seal quest look increasingly dim, so I researched an SKF Seal Applications guide and found that their CR30651 was about as I could get to finding something that would work. So I took the shaft and seal housing across the street to my friend's...

    John Deere 2010 Track Loader/Backhoe - Final Drive seal needed

    I haven't tried our local bearing suppliers yet, but have been researching seal applications and size charts for something close. Dimensions as found on other forums brought this up: Shaft diameter - 3.312", Seal outside diameter - 4.254", width - 0.750". My measurements were close but not as...

    John Deere 2010 Track Loader/Backhoe - Final Drive seal needed

    I need either the final drive sprocket seal (JD part number AT12996, item 31 in parts image below), or a good used seal housing with seal (item number 32 in parts drawing) for our loader. Our local John Deere Lawn and Ag dealer tried a search and told us that the seal in no longer available...

    John Deere 2010 crawler backhoe final drive lube spec?

    John Deere 2010 crawler backhoe final drive lube spec?

    Many thanks for the reply, so I take it that the final drive ring gear compartment shares the same lubricant as the H-L-R transmission as well as hydraulics in general? Regards, -Tom

    John Deere 2010 crawler backhoe final drive lube spec?

    After a year and a half of gathering everything needed to rebuild our severely corroded right-side final drive clutch/brake mechanism on our 1966 JD 2010 crawler loader backhoe, I'm not sure what lube to put into the pinion and ring gear case. The original manual specifies "303 Special Purpose...

    1968 John Deere brake band replacement

    I have the service manual for our 1968 Deere dozer and have read through section 140 which addresses adjustment of clutch and brake. But I have not been able to find anything yet about removal, inspection, and replacement. I'm not saying it's not there, only that I cannot find the procedure...

    Deere 450 Dozer - Steering brake question

    Many thanks for the things to check. We have the full manual set but my partner was puzzled about the reservoir. Now we know! I don't know if it's a conspiracy but I find much of the old iron I get or work on seem to have damage to the serial number and/or identification plates. This dozer...

    Deere 450 Dozer - Steering brake question

    My partner picked up a Deere 450 dozer with six-way blade that looks to be running and just right for our gravel operation. He said that it was hard to steer to the left in operation when travelling forward, but seemed to be okay when reversing. Is this a probable indication of a worn...

    Mystery mini grader identification

    I agree that the picture of the 510D shows larger tires, and there was the tandem rear axle version as well. I'll have to do some more research, but greatly appreciate the replies and help! -Tom

    Mystery mini grader identification

    I agree, and it looks like a Puckett Bros. 510D with a single rear wheel, hydrostatic drive through a planetary gear. Thanks for the confirmation! -Tom

    Mystery mini grader identification

    Yes, it looks pretty sparse and basic. I thought at first it might have been a one-off. If I can locate the owner and find out how much more of it is around, I might try to cut a deal and have another project. Thanks for the reply, -Tom

    Mystery mini grader identification

    Thanks for the update. I don't know about what may or may not be with it as I haven't found the owner yet. Any idea of what the make is? Thanks, -Tom

    Mystery mini grader identification

    Anybody out there that can identify the make of this mini grader? I spotted this grader just off the road on the way to my property. It has a 4-cylinder Ford diesel motor, but no other identification of make that I could see. It has hydraulic drive and is likely someone's "project". Looks...

    Deere 2010 crawler - Clutch/Brake compartment assembly lube?

    That's what I wanted to know. I had thought of a graphite spray but I like the idea of anti-seize much better. Many thanks for the feedback. -Tom

    Deere 2010 crawler - Clutch/Brake compartment assembly lube?

    After almost a year I finally got the final drive parts including brake bands, clutch drum and discs, bearings and seals, etc out and am ready to start re-assembling everything with new parts. I'm wondering about what lube I should use when assembling the clutch and brake parts that move, such...
