Hi, Around the Farm. Good video. Thanks for sharing. Comments: Not all of that D8 is 1951. The back end and the transmission appear to be at least post-1950 when the D8 changed from the old 'slide-bar' gear shift to the 2-stick transmission that your machine has. I would guess too that the engine is at least post 1950 because it has the twin exhaust stacks that were characteristic of the what is called the 'Hi-Output D8' a conversion that was done by a Cat dealer named Sheperd - now long gone - to boost the power to make them better suited to push-loading scrapers. That said, the frame rails and the radiator and its support braces come from a VERY early 2U series D8, circa 1945, or the even earlier 8R series from 1941 to 1945. Thanks again for sharing. Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, Around the Farm. On second look, your D8 appears like it could be even more of a 'bitza' than I originally thought. The twin exhaust stacks indicate that at least some parts of the current engine may have come from a Hi--Output D8 which was a dealer modification done by Sheperd Caterpillar to increase power for better push loading of scrapers. How-wevver, the Hi-Output tractors also had a double head on the air cleaner for better air intake, which yours doesn't have, although it may have had at one time if that extended air intake is any indication - like it ain't original.. Just more of my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Thank you for this video. I kept finding vidoes for the 96-02 Rams, and the 08-current Rams, but nothing for this time frame. This video was incredibly helpful!
Thank you for this video. I have a 2007 mercury grand marquis with the same problem. I got the part but wasn't sure if I had to remove the airbag, steering wheel and spiral cable to get to it. I don't have the 2 prong ear puller, so I have to get one. It's been intermittent. So for now I'll just keep using a Phillips screw driver to shift out of park. But thank you for making this video. I liked and subscribed! ❤
Did you have to use your c clips from your old drive axles? Or did the ends to your original axle flange hold it in place and the drive axle spines slide in and hold?
I had a mechanic tell me I could get by without this thing by just removing it? I find it hard to believe there won't be any side effects persay. Basically as long as u put your foot on the brake before putting it in gear I should be OK....? or no?
@AroundtheFarm hey man this happening with my car but only when it's a little chilly like it was 63° yesterday when it happened. But when its hot out it never happens. My question is, that when it happens to me none of the windows will roll down either. When it's warmer all the windows work fine and same with the shifter. When these two issues with the windows and the interlock happen the only happen at the same time. Is there any reason behind that you might know?
@@cjsnidlio9409 no idea on the windows. But the solenoid I took of seamed to have some grease like substance in it that would thicken and cause it to stick in cooler weather
