    Upshift button D6R 5LN

    I am wondering if just the plastic cap of the upshift button # 132-7419 on the steering control tiller is replaceable or even available? My son caught it on his jeans and broke it. The switch works fine but the little cap doesn't want to stay on.

    D6R Equalizer bar

    After I read your earlier post about having to loosen the track frame pivot I was fully expecting it to not come out like it did. I had all 3 pins out of the bar and had the front jacked all the way up until the sprockets were just about to touch and was able to drop one end of the bar down into...

    936 Cat Loader

    S/N 33Z01087 Can anyone tell me about them ? One coming up on a local auction. I know nothing about them but would be interested at the right price. Year? Things to check out beside pivot pins and loader pins? Any advice appreciated

    D6R Equalizer bar

    Sorry no photos. When I got it back it had the spherical bearings and all the seals already installed so there was not much to see anyway. My bar came out without messing with the track frames. I hammered out the end pins and luckily got the center pin out without too much trouble. I then raised...

    D6R Equalizer bar

    Great idea.. That is exactly what I envisioned doing if I had a mill capable of boring that and my little Southbend lathe was a bit bigger. As it is I found a shop to do the work and may have it back next week.

    D6R Equalizer bar

    I've got the bar out but now have more questions. Both end bores need work. What would a shop charge to weld and bore the end holes ? Cat wants $ 6630 for genuine Cat Bar. 4165.97 for a reman and 2652.09 for a cast replacement bar. All across the pond they say. I am wondering if I should...

    D6R Equalizer bar

    Machine #D6R #5LN02787 I am needing to replace the equalizer bar end bearings and seals and am wondering if it can be done without removing the bar from the machine? I know that the manual says remove the track frame but it sure looks like it would come out without track frame removal. I have...

    D6R fan belt replacement

    Got it done. Thanks to all. Took the right lower fan guard off along with the alternator as I was replacing the pulley on that also. Took the engine door off along with the lower engine panel and it wasn't too bad of a job. I had to dig the crap out from under the damper to get the belts slid...

    D6R fan belt replacement

    Yes. I'm afraid of that. I've been down that road many times before. It makes you wonder why they designed it that way but they never asked me so it is what it is I guess.

    D6R fan belt replacement

    Thanks guys. I noticed the fan cage is sectional so that may help. I am hoping I can work the belts around the fan without having to remove the blade. Good to know the high side connector is there also. I couldn't get my hand down low enough to feel the bottom side I guess. I will remove that...

    D6R fan belt replacement

    Kinda a new guy question but I need to replace the fan v-belts on a new to me D6R #5LN02787 with the mechanical 3306 and wonder if anyone knows the best way to do it? I have looked thru all my manuals but can't find anything. I am wondering if I need to remove the fan cage to fish the belts...

    I don't think steering made a difference but cannot say for sure. Not positive I tried it while steering.

    D6R questions

    No.....the only way it starts working is if I power down the blade lift and then activate the tilt with it powered down. Raise blade and tilt will work full stroke a few times and then start losing stroke until it barely tilts at all. I looked at the resolver network in the service manual and I...
