CAT D4H WON'T MOVE

Hi, I recently purchased an 89 cat d4h and am new to heavy equipment besides farm tractors. The guy that I bought it from said that the transmission had been rebuild about 3 yrs ago/less than 100hrs ago. S/N 8PB03682. He wasn't a believer in maintenance and it sat for about a year, so i changed oil and all filters on the machine and pb blasted all linkages. I had worked it 1 day, and the next day I was cutting in a driveway when i heard a pop, not real loud, just sounded like it popped...

Bobcat Skidsteer 953 Bucket Won't Lower

We bought a used Bobcat Skidsteer 953 that was leaking hydraulic fluid and the tilt wasn't holding. Took to a mechanic, who said the tilt valve was bad. Replaced the tilt valve, and the leak stopped but the tilt still didn't work. Rebuilt the hydraulic cylinders and everything worked on the drive around. Went to pick it up the next day and the bucket went up but would not lower, and there it sits.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Engine speed/governor handle tension set D4H

Ok more questions guys. How can i tighten up the engine speed/governor handle tension? it seems loose and will not stay put. Its like you have three speeds... idle, a little higher idle then all the way back for wot? No tension on it to keep it like half way....or is it designed like that?? Decelerator peddle works to slow RPS down...but you have to push quite a bit. The handle just seems to have alot of slop in it. Yes its tight on the shaft.

I'd love to be able to climb on &...

Rolling cutter for excavator - 1/2 thick steel

Have 100 ft. long sheets of 1/4 to 3/8 possibly up to 1/2 inch thick galvanized steel material to cut. Is there some sort of rolling sheer with cutter wheels or nibler that is made to put on a 30,000 to 70,000 lbs machine that could cut this into 40 ft. lengths for semi trailer to haul?

Auger attachment for 68,000 lb. excavator - 2 ft. hole by 20 deep

Need to dig some 2 ft. wide by 20 ft. deep piling holes. Would like to use my 290G Deere. Who makes augers to clip on the excavator. Or do I have to use a drill when going that deep? Guessing I have to take the arm off to run this attachment and lift the bit out when full of dirt every 3-5 deep deep? Digga is the only one I'm finding. Like to rent it for 2-3 days kinda deal.

How to flush engine that has milked the oil (headgasket) Cat 262B

Hi everyone just working on a 262B that has a blown head gasket. Any thoughts on restoring the engine oil back to normal other than just flushing with fresh oil. Eng has about 7000hrs and I'm having the head checked/ rebuilt. Crankcase is a mess of goop. Had thought to do an oil sample to confirm bearings aren't on a road to rapid failure after doing a couple flushes at least.

Thanks!

Cat 322L Hydraulic oil showing up in coolant

A relative of mine picked up a Cat 322 L knowing that hydraulic oil was turning up in his cooling system. He figured it was the oil cooler and replaced it.. Now he's still losing oil and it still seems to be turning up in his cooling system.. Not sure if anyone here has seen this before.. Any help would be appreciated!!!

D5mxl blade lift issues

I had a new pump put on my D5mxl as the blade was not wanting to lift unless you messed with angle and tilt. When blade did come up and you set it back on ground for a minute it would do the same exact thing. We put new cat pump on and all worked well ,ran it about 3 hours then shut down for three days .Started it up on Monday and blade would not raise? Angle and tilt were slow to respond then pretty much quit working? Not sure were to start checking? Oil is up ,filters are new, no leaks?

Take me to school.......

A customer has contacted me about brakes dragging on a D6T S#WHF00364. I know NOTHING about these. From the sounds of what they are saying it may be leakage or a flow problem. Works great for a hour or 2 in the morning, then they start dragging the machine down. SO...…..Ive got my thinking cap on and ready to learn.
No active codes that Im aware of. I wont be seeing this machine for a few days so I have a bit of time to study.

CAT 320C low hydraulic power, engine stalling

Hi, Guys!

I have been having a lot of trouble with a CAT 320C Excavator (S/N BDE00683) with 16 000 hours on the clock, which my boss just bought. The excavator is well serviced, engine looks and works well, but when under load, the engine revs go down very fast, it stalls and there is no hydraulic power. I can excavate only with the tip of the bucket. If I try deeper, it stalls. It also happens with every other movement.

So with the help of some topics in this forum and a lot of reading...

Low Hydraulic Power John Deere 160LC

Machine is a 2004 John Deere 160LC. Was operating the machine when I lost 90% of my hydraulic power. Then when I traveled it to a spot to work on it I ended up losing 100% of the power. This is for all functions. Pulled main filter and replaced it. Old filter was still perfectly clean.

Let machine sit for 24 hours went back and had 50% power for about 3 minutes then lost it all again. No visible hydraulic leaks. Fluid level is still good. Any ideas?

Caterpillar SIS. Tricks and tips, questions and answers.

OK, just to get the ball rolling;

Q. What is SIS.
A. Caterpillar's online Service Information System.

Q. Can I see it?
A. Yes, if you have an account with a Cat dealer.

Q. What information can I see?

Just bought a Deere 333E

After testing several out, mostly Takeuchi's (really wanted a TL10 cab, just too much money), I just pulled the trigger on a JD 333E ROPS with 2600 hours. First CTL. Traded in a 20 year old Ford backhoe that was just too awkward for most of what I do. Anyway, the only real issue I could find, was the sprockets look worn to me. Tracks look good, and since I assume you usually go through a couple sets of tracks before changing the sprockets, that I can replace the sprockets alone. They...

Takeuchi TL26 questions

I just bought a Takeuchi TL26. Its got about 3300 hours on it. I bought it sight unseen and had it shipped from Georgia to PA. I paid $5000 for it. It runs great and I love having a track machine. I had a Case 1845c prior to this. I do have a few questions. Where can I find a repair manaul at? I want to change the oil and filter. Is there a filter for the hydraulic fluid? Does it actually take hydraulic fluid or does it use motor oil? Where is the fuel filter and how do you change it? Any...
