I am posting for a friend that owns an HD6E ser#13484. He is unable to access the forum because of his work situation. I have never posted on a forum before so I hope I didn't violate any rules by posting! What I need to find out is.. 1. What year this machine is.....ser#13484 2. He has 37 pads and a 5 roller frame, I need to find out if there is an interchange between years/models of A/C undercarriage parts i.e. rollers, chains, idlers and sprockets 3. We are fairly remote in Alaska, regardless, I/we need to find out if there are suitable outlets for used/new parts for this machine, preferably in the western half of the states and websites/phone contact #'s etc. Any info you fellas can come up with will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave...AlaskaHD6E |

1960, very first of the 'new' version with a 6000 motor, should still have a dry master clutch and fibre steering clutch plates. A lot of changes after 14484, these 6Es have wet backends and different final drive gears Track frames are different on later ones 15730 up. ------------- tits tyres and tracks they all cost you money |

Undercarriage parts from HD5 and HD6 interchange (except for the length) pads and sprockets, seals , rollers, and finals interchange. Rear housing of 6 and 5 are the same casting. Should be suppliers in MT, UT, WA, and Cal on used parts , Try Northern Engine , also Minnpar here in MN for some parts new, Check Rock and Dirt site for suppliers also. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

Gents: I have one other question...do any of you have a production spec sheet that illustrates the design specs on the rolling stock undercarriage parts i.e. rollers and idlers ..mount flange dimensions and width spread? I am looking at BERCO replacement parts but need to find some specific dimensional data , short of actually bustin' the truck frames down. Any additional help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave |

Coke: Thanks for the rapid response. The wear gauge is a very helpful tool, thanks. Actually though. what I was looking for is dimensional data such as what I have for my Cat. like listed in the link below. I hope you, or one of the other gents, might be able to provide a similar product. Please excuse the clarity of the photo as I actually have it as a rich text format and I couldn't figure out how to post it here. Thanks in advance, Dave http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/AlaskaDave2/library/Allis%20Chalmers?sort=3 |

| My AC service manual has similar dimensional data for my HD7G, I've not seen any on the 6 series to know if they had them. |

Google crawler heaven then click on wear limits and it gives new size for new parts.But has been" improved" and not as helpful as before. Sorry I cannot make a link as I am not that computer literate. |

Hopefully Jensales will forgive me but I copied a few pages from my service manual, it does cover the HD6 series as they use much the same equipment as my 7G. I can probably send them e-mail but they are too large to post here. Send me a PM as to your email address. Jensales 1800, 443 0625, has or can reprint a service manual for many older pieces of equipment especially our old Allis' |
