CATERILLAR D4-7U BULLDOZER IN NZ
FOR RESTORATION FROM THE BUSH

The D4 actually started around 1937 with a G4 Series then evolved into the 7U Series of the 1940s and 1950s. The Caterpillar Company continued to build new D4s right up till now and they are a great machine. The smaller D2 was a bit underpowered for the weight but the D4 was another machine and solid as. We had spark problems with the Pony motor but managed to start this machine after 3 years sitting in the bush in New Zealand. With a bit of ether the main motor started & runs fine just like new ready for its restoration on our farm. The gauges work good. Oil pressure excellent as with fuel pressure
The Caterpillar D4 -JU Series

The hydraulics work fine and the rams are in excellent condition for their age 56D.
