    Help with’74 CAT D5

    My D5 is different, it has the decelerator clutch up at the handle. I got the linkage out and it is shot. Anybody have a good source for old Cat parts? Not sure my local Cat dealer can get one.

    Help with’74 CAT D5

    CAT D5 dozer 1974 model. Need help with decelerator pedal. Doesn’t return after it is pressed. Should return to the throttle setting.

    1974 D5 Crawler Problem

    Thanks for the input. I'm hoping it's something external and not the final drive. The local service guy I use called back and says he'll be up this way next week and will come by and look at it. If it's the final drive I'll probably work it till it dies and sell it for scrap. Its been a good...

    IH 1300 Mower Questions on Using

    Is it worth $150 to buy the IH rivet set tool? The knife sections on my mower are held on by screws but the drive arm is attached using rivets.

Set it up on my Kubota M8200 and adjusted everything according to the operators manual. Bought it for mowing pond dam and around my pond banks. Manual says it will cut at most any...

    Old Cat D5 Steeering Brake Problem

    Another thing - The right brake pedal goes all the way down till it hits the wall below the steering clutch. The left will adjust and I have it adjusted to the spec in the manual. That tells me something is broken or loose in the right linkage somewhere. All the linkages I can see are intact.

    I have a 1974 Cat D5 that has developed a problem with the right steering brake. I have the original manuals and have tried adjusting exactly as described in the manual but even though I have tried it multiple times it does not help.

    I own a 1974 model Cat D5 that was working fine when I shut it down a few weeks ago. Today when I started it up the throttle lever detent will not keep the lever in the full on position.

    How do I upload photos to a post

    Your post should be a "sticky" so folks like me could find it. Maybe this site needs a discussion thread with technical questions about forum use answered with responses like yours
