    Cat 297D service monitor

    I don't have that little red dot show up on my screen and I don't have anywhere where it says different operators. If I hold the button where the red dot would be for a few seconds it shuts off and restarts.

    Cat 297D service monitor

    I changed my engine oil in my 297D loader and I can't get the service due too reset. I've tried the owners manual way and it shuts the monitor off while holding the far right button. I watched a YouTube video and it shows the same way I'm doing it. One video shows you need to be on the...

    Getting into the biz... maybe.

    I'm kinda in the same boat. I work a full time job, farm a little and my dirt work started off with just a track loader. I'm busy enough now and have enough equipment that it could be a full time job. It's a viscous cycle as I turn down larger jobs that I know would pay excellent but I can't...

    Trk coupler

    I'm thinking of a manual coupler for a 315cat excavator. Really didn't want to spend the money for a hydraulic one as I'm not in love with the excavator and would like to update at some point. I don't want to buy a junk one so I thought I'd ask if these are good or is there a style to stay...

    D7R fuel sending uni R&R

    I've got a 01 D7R that the gauge doesn't read when it's 3/4 full or more. Tried to change it out quick this morning but no go as it won't come up out of there. Do you have to lift the cab some or pull the tank out some?

    Got a muffler off Amazon for $249 including shipping. Set it in today everything lines up real nice. I'm waiting on a clamp between turbo and muffler and I'll be done.

    Places to get 315 cat muffler

    I could put up a small one but I need to get the semi and trailer in there to work on and the brakes always seem to freeze when I need to haul corn in the winter. Nothing ever goes right when it's 0 out and you have only so much time to do something. The worst is when it rains and then freeses...

    Places to get 315 cat muffler

    I've worked in an unheated shop all my life except for my full time job and at 44 it's time for a heated shop. I own 2 businesses and farm along with a full time job. Iowa winter's make it so I don't want to work at night in the winter anymore. I started out as a mechanic and now run...

    Places to get 315 cat muffler

    I thought about patching it but it's so rusted the top elbow fell off and it's been leaking on the bottom for a year. Without taking it off I don't think there's enough to weld to.
