Caterpillar 225blc hydraulic oil cooler next to radiator leaking pin hole

jeudi 16 octobre 2014

Hello.

My 2zd00666 serial number caterpillar 225blc has been sitting for a year or so.

I go to crank it....works great.

I blow out the fins on the radiator and hydraulic cooler with air and purple stuff suction air line.

Get to using it....I blew a hose.

Wasted lots of new aw/32 fluid.

I look around...I see the hydraulic oil cooler leaking a little. Damnit. Right behind the battery in front of the radiator.



So, what is the experience on these coolers. This machine is pretty nice..but it's sat a few years due to economy and most operators want to run newer quicker machines.

I have never replaced the cooler since I bought it in 1997. Never had a problem with anything much except basic leaks and general maintenance.



Who fixes these?

How? Do they "braze" it?

What determines a good fixable cooler and a bad one? Rusty flutes?

What kind of shop should I go to?

Price to expect for repair vs. replace?



Tips or tricks? Pointers? Advice? Thoughts?



I really appreciate it. Love this forum!
