Cat MM55SR excavator

G'day all
A local contractor in town has purchased a MM55SR painted up in Cat colours, but I think it may be a Mitsubishi, either way it is a grey import as E1G00xx prefix doesn’t come up as a good serial # with Cat dealer. My mate needs to find a few parts, his biggest problem is that the hyd don’t work when levers are used, but if you move control valve direct they with work. The electronic hand control system seems to be the problem, anyone had any experience with these machines or this...

Class A license med cert and eye test

I posted this here since most in this forum probably have to maintain a medical certificate to drive their trucks.
When I do my medical cert, I either go to my regular doc who typically wants lab urine and blood tests, or I go to a industrial medical clinic for more expedient processing. The regular doc is no longer enrolled in the "submittal system" anymore so it looks like the 'approved clinic' is the new norm.
But I typically requested my eyedoc do the vision portion since I have...

CAT 3114T Engine 80 HP year 1989 wants to stall after engine starts

Wondering if anyone here has ideas of what would cause the CAT 3114T engine to want to stall .
Engine is in CAT wheel loader.
I start the engine let it warm up a few minutes then put transmission into forward 1st gear, with in 50 feet the engine bogs down as if it was going to stall.
The engine can run for one hour and some times it will do this again in either 1st or 2nd gear.
Oil samples show nothing wrong with engine, just turned over to 7,000 hours.
Transmission fluid sample shows no...

CAT 963 VS Deere 755

I would appreciate anyone's opinion that has run these machines. I am looking to buy my first track loader. I have ran a few 963B's and a 963C ( and that is probably what I will buy ), but have not tried out a Deere 755. What are the pro's and con's of each machine? Which one is the least expensive to own?
