Rebuilds for J.P. Carlton Apache drum chippers

Carlton's Apache drum chippers run on Ford gas and John Deere diesel power, and the catalytic converter is a common wear point — it loads up with carbon over the years and starts choking the engine. Instead of paying full OEM, D&S rebuilds your existing converter with a fresh substrate in the original housing, built to meet EPA emissions standards and backed by a warranty against manufacturing defects.

We rebuild every Carlton model

Gas or diesel, any Apache size, any year — if it's a Carlton with a catalytic converter, we rebuild it. Models we handle include:

Apache 1712Apache 2015Apache 2518drum chippers

Don't see yours? We still build it — we rebuild every Carlton converter, any model. Send a photo of your converter →

Tip: before you replace a cat, rule out fuel and air filters. If power returns with the exhaust cracked loose at the converter, it's the cat. Full symptom guide →
Thinking of deleting it instead? On Tier 4 machines that usually just triggers a derate — and running without the cat can stress the engine. A rebuild is the reliable fix. Why delete doesn't work →
