Hd5

www.ibdozing.com has a lot of crawler info and equipment relavent to that era. There are HD5s there and many of the individuals with pictures do have HD5's Chappy is one of them.

As to removing the steering clutchs, it is very simple. One of simpleist around. Beats old IH and Cat machines by a mile.

I can get you the manul if needed and that is strongly urged. You should have the parts manual also so that you can get the right parts.

1) Make sure tractor cannot roll or move.
2) Remove Seat,
3) Remove Fuel Tank 4) Remove steering compartment cover
5) Remove brake rod at the pin, they are spring loaded on the out side of that so you may want to release the springs first and hopefully not tear your boot.
6) On both sides of the steering clutch there are bolts with a keeper wire. Remove wire. Remove bolts. Now you will have to turn it a bit to get all of them out. The brake band is the sling that will lift it out. You will want is supported by an overhead lift. 7) With the use of an appropriate hydraulic press you can remove the bolts holding it together otherwise there will be some very dangerous flying objects if you do not.
8) Get the parts manual and Service Manual for the machine

Good Luck,

Yep there is a pin and one the end of the pin are threads. I do not offhand recollect. They come out real nice too. Easy to fix once you get them out. Drill out the brass rivets and rivet the new ones back in. Reinstall and readjust the brake pedal to the proper settings.

You may want to make sure that the control rod yolk is free on each one. You will have to adjust them you will be very unhappy because you might have to take it apart again to get the rods out and get them loose to get the proper brake settings.

Been there and done that.

Improper brake settings can really affect the operations of a crawler. The manual will be invaluable to make sure that everything went ok.

Thanks
