Getting a D4 Caterpillar Dozer for a friend

  • My friend bought a D4, so he asked me to help him go get it. It was a 250 mile round trip adventure. Turns out the left track is not engaging. This made loading onto the trailer a bit more of a challenge. However, the winch works great!

    That poor pony. It's rpm is to high and no idle. Definitely has potential great save and good luck. Adjust the pinion latch or you'll be pulling the diesel engine out to fix the lever. Love my D47U and work it hard pulling disc and cleaning up a few ponds on the farm. Most of us have a few spare parts so let us know how to help.

    The amount of people who don't know the correct starting procedure of Caterpillar equipment really amazes me if we started a machine like that in our day we would not have been able to sit down force week not only that we would have been sacked on the spot NEVER open the fuel until the engine has been turning over of full compression for some minutes to warm it it THEN open the throttle to admit fuel to the cylinders

    Very cool. For a few years I had a D-6, such workhorses! We used it's winch once to pull a feller buncher onto a trailer when it had only one operating track.

    I would have liked to see some blocks under the back of the trailer, to support the weight as the Cat came onto the trailer. But you guys got it done.
    Could be a very interesting project. Looks like you could dig a pond in nothing flat with that machine.

    Very cool. Have one that looks almost identical. Still have the rope pull start Pony and the cable system with the LeTourneau over head system. Side mount fuel tank and Hyster on the back. I still get so much work out of this machine, it's ridiculous. Running the 4 for a half day beats you up like ripping rock or coal on an 11 for a week.😂

    In my late teens I worked at company that did Orange and grapefruit juice and concentrate they had an old D4 Cat that pony engine sometimes I think that thing had mind of its own the operator old Bill Dixon was the only one who was happy with it some days it start nicely some days non at all a nasty habit of throwing the track while in muddiest of situations like when pushing the waste peels you got to get down in that foul smelling stuff I was so happy when they scrap that monster

    Looks like a 6U (narrow tracks) for agricultural purposes. I couldn't see but when shutting down the pony, shut off the fuel supply and let the engine run the remaining fuel out. Once you get the other issues addressed, have fun with it. The gear drive and all the levers will keep you busy....but in a fun way.

      it will not do as much work as a later model, but it will work as hard now as it ever did

    Just as well that winch cable didn't fail. De-capitations happen like that.

    Never shut pony motor off, turn fuel off & let it run out of fuel to shut pony off
