5B7233 Throttle ratchet

6B7722 steering clutch

6B7050 track roller bush

5B6337 clutch disc plate

4A521 clutch brake disc

4B6351E clutch lever

these are his descriptions not mine any help identifying these parts would be greatly appreciated I have been trawling through my
parts books and have managed to identify some other parts as D2

Hi Richard,
I'd have to do the same thing.....rummage through the parts book.

The slick way to do it would be through the Cat NPR (I think that's correct) where a reverse directory can identify the part application....sorry I don't have one of those but if you can snag "Josh" who follows the BB, he has the reference source.

Thanks Old Magnet and thank you josh,

I spent many hours trawling through my parts books with no luck,

Josh, do I have to register with the local Cat dealer to get the parts info, ie, type in the part # get the machine type it fits ?

thanks Richard.

General Gear has a parts interchange area on their website that is helpful.

Richard,

Caterpillar's online information is mostly useless as to what a part goes to, and calling a Cat dealer is usually just about the same, the numerical parts reference I have is a paper "book", printed in the 1960s, about 20k pages of reference info, a dealer item that most all of went directly into the dumpster with the introduction of microfiche, as I understand it the microfiche version has much less information. I think it is not in the best interest of a corporation like Cat to keep information on obsolete parts and machines, and despite their lack of complete information available, they do better than most companies.
