HD-7W STEERING

While I cannot precisely tell you the answer to that question on having to remove the pinoin shaft. To check if you do not have to remove the shaft, you will have to remove the top cover to the steering clutchs. Look inside and if you see two rows of bolts one on one side and the the other on the other side and on each side there looks like there is a large plate throught which the bolts attach than no you should be able to live the assembly out of there with the brake bands being the sling. If you look at the HD9 lit at www.ibdozing.com you will see the construction of the HD9 that is in the resources section. They did share some common parts, the rails being one of them. \

Good luck

What do you mean?? The truck frame on the 7W was shorter than the HD9 and had only 5 rollers, on the info that I have had the pitch, and height of the rail were the same. They did have fewer links in the chain but you could take two HD7w chains and with two master pins make one fit an HD9 or HD11 below serial #1003 and the HD9 Could use the same chain. I am confused here. The 9G and the 9F ad longer trucks by one roller.

I do know that the HD7 did have the monolithic frame design like my IH TD9's do and the the HD9 had the unitized frame. The 9 and above with the unitized frame is a snap to work on. One problem with the IH is to get one thing apart you have to take the whole thing apart.

Thanks for the update and clarification

I can FAX you the pages from the manual if that would help.

re: Engine over speed. I wonder if your air box drains are plugged and on an incline the oil/diesel runs back into the liner air intakes.

Good Luck,
