I need to move my HD7 just a few inches to clear the rear sprocket enough to access a drive pinion panel. Does anyone know a trick for doing this. Obviously I don't have anything except my 180 AC that can pull it and I'm pretty sure it will just spin the tires.Many thanks.I've seen this done with pry bars and come alongs but can't remember how.

when moving large or heavy equipment or even a couple barns, plus garages I have had sucess by jacking up and placing two planks down with 3/4 to two inch pipe nipples between the planks and you can push some things even by hand if smooth cement floor one plank will work with pipe between plank and floor.

Not all that familiar with the HD7 but what I used to do with the Case crawlers was to cut an 18" diameter log to fit under the rear hitch, start up the unit and use the hydraulics to lower the blade or bucket to raise the machine up. Once up, I could then used a come-a-long, a bottle jack, another tractor, skid steer loader, or one time even used a garden tractor. Good luck and remember pins go outside in to remove and inside out to install, its easier for the next person to swing the hammer from the outside to remove the pins. Good luck.

You would need to have some kind of dead head to use a come-a-long .Then find somewhere to hook to in the front or remove several track shoes from each side behind the front idler hook a chain and come-a-long on both sides to our dead head .The pry bars can be used by inserting pry bar though the sprocket and track chain and pulling.

Put a hyd. jack under a growser. You may have to do it more than once, but it will move. FRED

I agree with a previous post that dozers move easier than you think. I have moved D7's and D8's with just a plain old 4WD pick up.... If the blade is still attached and on the ground dig a small trench under the blade for your cable/chain to go under blade and when you drive forward the blade will come up. If you still cant move it, remove the floor plates and disconnect the driveshaft from the clutch housing.Put trans in low gear. You can now put a bar in between the transmission yoke and the u-joint and turn the input shaft of the trans. It wont take to long and you will have moved your 6 inches.... Email me if you are uncertain of what I am describing and I will try to do a better job of explaining this. Good luck, Paul

I agree also, We moved our TD20B wit a old 65HP 2wd tractor. We only blocked the 3P hydraulic lifter under the front of the crawler in order to put weight on the rear wheels.

I hope it will be possible for you,

Lilian

hi i really agree me and my grandpa once moved a good sized crane for about a mile once with a ca allis and a farmall m we took out a drive gear in the crane put the farmall in front with 3 logging chains and the ca in back pushing with a 4 in. round oil pipe and it went pretty good we even just pulled it with the m once to move it into the tree line. Or you could try to pile as much weight on the back of your allis and deflate the tires in back alittle and i'd almost bet that she moved!!!
