D4 Cat steering clutches-update 7j1664

Forum,
Looked at the D4 Cat yesterday. Was much bigger than expected compared to my HD3 Allis. Looked in good condition. Owner said a lot of things had been done to it, overhaul, tracks tightened, mag overhaul and such. Serial number was 7J1664. May this have been a '52 vintage machine? On one hydraulic arm 6 52 was cast. Asking price $3500. Not sure of value. Told owner to repair belt drive on pony (which turned easily-6 volt electric starter} and work on steering clutches. This post is a repeat of my last post late last night. Any comments or thoughts are welcome.

The 7J D4 was built in the early '40's. The HT4 loader probably originally came on a later U series Cat. When the tractor wore out someone put the loader on the 7J. I have seen them like this too. Steering clutches can be free'ed up sometimes. The price is about right for a Cat that runs good and has no problems.
 
T,
Looking at the D4 I noticed a tank in front of the radiator. It was the size of a small suitcase with large radiator hoses attached to the top, four to be exact. Was it some kind of a cooler?
