I ain't getting any deals or anything from the places I'm buying parts, but here are the companies I've gotten parts from so far. I'm just glad there are still guys around supplying parts to keep us all going! General Gear: www.tpaktopc.net/d4strcltch.htm Big Iron Parts: www.bigironpartsllc.com/

As little kid going to school in the late 50's we would play marbles with ball bearings (steelies) .I walked to school past a business that specialised in wrecking bulldozers for parts. Because the building was covered in corrugated iron we thought it was a great joke to run past dragging a stick along the wall to make a noise. The men in the workshop would yell at us out the window, until one day one them opened the window and summonsed us over .He held a handful of big ball bearings about 1" diameter . There were four of us and we were made to promise never to rattle the tin again we could have the ball bearings... ha ha .That place had some old machinery which looked like it belonged in museum even back then .

For your brake linkage lids that are pitted there’s a good trick that I learned while working for a local Honda dealer to true up carburetor flanges,cylinder heads,tops of cylinders and engine cases,anywhere that is machined flat. Use emery cloth or wet/dry sandpaper in the regular full sheet size,I think they’re 9x11” sheets and glue it to a sheet of glass,the thicker the better but I’ve used as thin as 3/16”. Window panes are plentiful and easy to find. Spray the back of your sanding sheet along with your glass pane with 3m trim adhesive,wait for the glue to tack up before putting them together or they’ll take forever to bond. Cover it with a book,wait 3 to 4 hours and presto you have your own surface machine,just use some light oil and a little elbow grease. I have several of them made up from 120 to 600 grit and use them for everything from cast iron to stainless and aluminum. The brake bands you have can be washed out as long as they’re still within spec on thickness. If you have a solvent tank they work great for that, I’ve used kerosene also. Afterward soaking them in a solution of Dawn dish soap and water or Tide laundry detergent overnight takes most of the crude oil based impurities out and let em air dry. By the time you have steer clutches and finals all back together they’re good to go,just my two cents but it worked for me on more than one occasion after showing up to a job that had run down equipment. I really do dig the heck out of this channel though,keep up the great work.

I used to be a Cat mech/training instructor. I was trained in the Peoria schools, and at the end of every week of training we were able to tour various assembly lines in the factories. One of the places we visited was the pattern shop, where we were told that you could order parts for ANY machine Cat ever made, if you had the serial number. They didn't have the parts for old machines in stock, but said they had the patterns to make them. No guarantee how long it would take to get the part, or how much it would cost, but because it IS Cat, the part CAN be obtained.

Save some metal cans - coffee cans, large tomato juice cans, etc. - wash them and number them with a Sharpie. Keep a clip board nearby when you disassemble stuff. Jot down some notes describing what you are taking apart and cross reference the can number for bolts, nuts, washers etc. Example: Remove flywheel - Can #6 Also the clipboard notes will tell you the order of operations on a complex disassembly. You can sorta follow the notes in reverse order to reassemble the machine. Good luck.

There are many ways to 'restore' these old machines. Over at 'squatch253' for example, he is doing a total mechanical restoration of his D2 with no paintwork involved. I get that, I'd prefer the machine was mechanically sound rather than a show princess. But everyone has different goals for their resto, each good in their own way.

Doing great! If it makes you feel any better I bought a mini excavator that I am almost done doing a quick restoration to and had discovered that the final drive was cracked on what would be called the “spindle” on a truck, and was leaking gear oil. Dealer wouldn’t sell just that part and wanted $6,000 for a new final drive and wouldn’t warranty it unless I bought a $3,500 final drive motor with it. So did what any homeowner would do and had a machinist braze it and clean the surface back up for $400. He said it would be fine and at least if it does fail it isn’t buried deep in the machine

Hot wrench might help on the stuck throw out nut if you don't have 1 5/16 wrench or small chain wrench. The turning clutch nut looks like it was loosened before with a chisel & hammer. Probably a previous mech didn't have the socket either. If you insist on the relining of the brake bands clamp them square to the band on 1 end and drill two holes at that end then drill your countersink and rivet those 2 holes. Then you can clamp the bands around the drums to get the holes drilled in the right spots. Easy.

A box of sandwich baggies is a great tool when disassembling machines. The larger freezer bags which are heavier are also useful. Keep assemblies together avoids a lot of frustration later on. Label them for even better results (use a paint marker so the pencil or magic marker isn't erased by the fluids you are working in.).

Thankfully, you have videos of every step of the disassembly process.....so you might be able to identify the bolts and parts by watching them. Ziploc bags....terrific way to maintain order and assure identification. Re-installing all components in the correct orientations will be greatly facilitated by the videos too. Taking pictures along the way helps greatly. Shop/service manuals may or may not provide adequate details. That machine has LOTS of PARTS ! Have fun !!

Its wasnt difficult for me to remove them and reline. Today we have epoxy glue that would work. I would glue the linings in place and then drill and counter sink and install the rivets.

Hi Matt, a word of advice. You may want to look into purchasing the brake bands as a complete assembly not just the linings. I watched another KZbin do nothing but fail trying to drill and re rivet them. He ended up purchasing them complete after stuffing the linings. Please for your own sake look into this further befor purchasing linings. Cheers Stew. I hope my advice was helpful.

The virtue of wanting to do it all in order to save a few $$$ can end up being the vice of wasting money when you’re not equipped with the knowledge and equipment. There are plenty of other areas on this machine where you can divert your efforts…breaker linings aren’t one of them to end up getting an expensive lesson. Spend wisely.

When you steam clean any of the original caterpillar parts that were yellow, I hope you will repaint those parts.

I'm up in NW Oregon, end of June it stays light till about 10pm. By end of August it's getting dark at 730. I do most of my outside work after 7, so by middle of September I'm usually splitting firewood via headlamp.

You probably already know this little trick but will share anyways. I (due to horrible memory) always use zip lock bags and a piece of paper to label groups of bolts . I know some guys write on the bag with a sharpie but I am frugal so like to reuse the bags as much as possible

When rigging always short couple your setups as much as possible. Useless long lifting straps just eat up overhead clearance. Double them up or use some other arrangement to keep your lift as short as possible for better control and clearance.

All the bolts are probably loose because the machine rattles like crazy and split lock washers actually make a bolted joint worse. You're better off replacing them with flat washers and loctite on reassembly

I'll be honest, the camera @3:37 and you moving it forward but the tractor looked like it was moving back, and I'm like... I don't think that's what he said he was gonna do... augh! it's a run away! Run Matt, Run! Until I realized the camera was on the track...
