Still looking for a D5 / D6B / D4D. Found a reasonably nice D5 S/N 94J1737 but it appears to have a clutch issue as well as right brake / steering clutch issues. Its a nice machine otherwise - starts reasonably easy and undercarriage in decent shape. Seller has owned for several years and engine was rebuilt a year or so ago.
Question is how much problem would I be buying assuming it has main clutch issue. It grinds gears when going from Fwd to Reverse but only if you stop in Neutral or move lever slowly thru Neutral. Also grinds gears when shifting 1st to 2nd etc. I am assuming its not adjustment as seller would have likely fixed that before letting me try it.
Second question is steering. It steers Left great. Brake and Steering Clutch seem fine. But Right Brake is lower than Left and with Brake all the way down and Steering Clutch all the way back, sometimes it refuses to steer - just keeps going straight with some scraping noise. Other times it starts to steer with a clunk but then steers ok to right.
What are likely failure modes and repair costs. I"m guessing R&R brakes and Main Clutch ????
Or am I better off with a similar, but older D6B with no obvious issues for $2500 less. No known engine rebuild on the D6 but neither machine appears to have been abused.
