The old D4 steering clutches, from the 4G/6G
series, the 7J, 2T, 5T, and 6U/7U series originally used the riveted on lining style of
friction discs. We can convert you to the bimetallic style friction discs and eliminate a
lot of your steering clutch problems. We highly recommend converting to the bimetallic
driving discs vs. the old riveted on lining style discs. This is an update to the earlier
style clutches and cuts down on the possibility of frozen clutches and gives increased
life and higher coefficient of friction to your clutches for a longer period of time.
Instead of using 8 friction discs with the riveted on linings and 8 steel separator discs,
you will use 12 3F5504 bimetallic discs (sintered bronze) and 12 steel discs for each
steering clutch. No other changes are required in inner driving drums or brake drums. You
can, in most cases, re-use your existing 8 steel discs and merely add four more new steel
discs to go with the 12 sintered bronze bimetallic discs needed for the conversion.

NEW !!! BRAKE BANDS AND HEAVY
DUTY LININGS
NEW BANDS !!!Sometimes
your brake band is worn or rusted out so thin that it is no longer usable.
Sometimes it has some subtle bends, slightly out of shape, or has wallowed out
rivet holes or rusted out boltholes. Often, if you followed service instructions for
brake band removal, you probably destroyed one or two sections!! This makes
installing new linings difficult. They almost always have broken off carriage bolts
or bolts so old that they are no longer trustworthy. We use a newer style of brake
linings for these brake bands.
For complete NEW 3 PIECE
brake bands with the new style linings and all new carriage bolts, $267.00 ea These will fit the early R4 AND D4 models 4G, 6G,
7J, 2T, 5T, 6U (early THROUGH #12117) and 7U (early THROUGH SERIAL# 40736) crawlers. (3
pieces, ONE EACH OF 3B0618, 3B0619, 3B0620)
If your serial number is 40737 and
above, you will use the later style brake band 8Y6306, also at a cost of $267.00 ea
THIS TYPE OF LINING IS PRIMARILY FOR DRY TYPE BRAKES. THE BRAKE LINING KIT, INCLUDES
RIVETS, LINING. $57.00
HEAVY DUTY WOVEN LINING WOVEN WITH BRASS STRANDS, DESIGNED FOR REPEATED USE IN SEVERE
CONDITIONS, ABLE TO WITHSTAND HIGH TEMPERATURE USE (400 DEGREE)WITH MINIMAL LOSS OF
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION. THE MATERIAL IS ALSO GOOD IN SOME OIL TYPE APPLICATIONS.
(IT SHOULD BE GROOVED FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE IN OIL APPLICATIONS)
The lining is easier to work with and you can even change position of rivet holes if
necessary to compensate for bad rivet holes in the band. This style of lining
elminates the possibility of breaking, cracking, or chipping like the molded style linings
which are brittle and must fit the perfect curvature of the band. It is often
tough to fit the molded linings to 70-80 year old brake bands without damaging that style
of lining. Getting proper clearances is even harder!
CATERPILLAR FLYWHEEL CLUTCH PARTS
Caterpillar made periodic changes to the cast flywheel clutch pressure plates and backing
plates. Over time most of the early plates have been cracked/worn and replaced with
the latest update 2H6776 and the 2H6777 (2H8380) cast plates. If have the updated
versions, you are in good shape as you only have to replace the casting that may be
broken/worn/warped or no longer usable. If you have any of the earlier castings and
have to replace one of them, you will have to replace both the front and back
castings with the later castings.
