Popular Post DailyDiesel Posted December 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2015 Do you have the dump body for it like this one? Cool rig either way. 5 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43090-caterpillar-dw10-pictures/#findComment-315849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 How similar or dissimilar is that to a John Deere 840? Those were made as scrapers. These clearly don't have a 2 cylinder diesel in them...the look is very much the same.

eddeere Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I also thought it resembled the 840 J.D. Wonder how the H.P. and torque compare. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43090-caterpillar-dw10-pictures/#findComment-315855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963B81sx Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Only have the tractor, no scraper or dump body attachment. Bought it to take to antique tractor shows and tractor pulls. As far as being similar to a JD 840, not really. The JD 840 was a beefed-up JD 830 ag tractor. The DW10 has an up-rated version of the same engine in a D6-9u dozer, 115hp 6 cylinder, vs the 2 cylinder diesel in the 840. The DW10 has air brakes just like a truck, except they can be applied independently to the LR or RR wheel to help in tight turns and control differential slip. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43090-caterpillar-dw10-pictures/#findComment-315870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 That two cylinder diesel is about 75 HP in the 830/840. They made a crap load of power with two jugs and they were fuel efficient as hell. The cat is a nice rig. I'd like to see that pull for sure. JD hired the engineer responsible for the pony motor design at Cat to design the pony motors that were used to start the 720/820 diesel engines...I'm told they are strikingly similar in design as a result.

68-f-model Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Flipped on an I phone 6. Just open the photo in the base photos folder, click edit (top right), then there is a rotate symbol (mid screen left side). Rotate till it is right side up. 😀 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43090-caterpillar-dw10-pictures/#findComment-317312 Share on other sites More sharing options...

m16ty Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 A local guy still rums a couple of DW10s with scrapers behind them.He roads them almost everywhere. Doesn't have any brakes, when he's on the road he clamps a old tire in the bowl and just lowers the bowl to stop.I have seen him haul them on a old Phelan trailer. The tractor will be on the trailer and he just lets the scraper hang off the back and follow along. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43090-caterpillar-dw10-pictures/#findComment-317613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963B81sx Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 When I bought mine the air compressor was worn out. Came across a company in Chicago that had a lot of NOS parts for obsolete compressors. They rebuilt it for $300, return freight included. It has worked well ever since.

Charlie Hatfield Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 That's a deal on a compressor rebuild. What is the name of the company, might need the information some time.

eddeere Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Sharp looking 830. I like the attention to detail three ribbed front and especially 45 degree rear tires.

1963B81sx Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Thanks for the nice comments. The front rims are 11 x 15, same size that a lot of jd4020s used. Like the wider three rib tire and the belt from our club's sawmill will still clear the inside of the tire. The original front tires were 7.50 x 18. Took a while to locate the rear tires, they are old and the rubber is very hard. The shoulders of the short cleats bite hard when pulling a sled.
