I have a d4d that I am trying to find the model year. I am attaching pictures if the plates found on the machine,engine,and trans. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
US-built. Production started 1968 so somewhere around 1972-73 I would estimate. Someone else will probably be able to nail it down closer. Interested to know why you are looking for the model year.
I am just curious. Like to know how old it is.
82j 4718, 1976. 4401-4753, 1977 was the last year, 4754- up, cheers
It may even have a wet back end being that new for a D4D.
Afaik wet backend option for D4D was only on Japanese built 65J and 47H. Wasn,t an option on american built ones. though am happy to be proved wrong; just don,t remember it ever listed in parts microfiche we used at dealers at the time. We had a american one 83J2556 but it was converted to wet steering and brakes by Gough Gough and Hamer NZ cat dealer at birth. was a optional NZ modification. Until it later became a japanese factory option from 1974 onwards. All the later japanese built D4D we later got in nz came with it.
The 82J4151-up Parts Book still shows the brake band support screw. This would normally be missing if it were wet back end.
yes wet brake D4D had a 1 piece triple section, double wrap around brake band, same as 941B
