    Cat 320 DLL

    Thanks for the help Bob. I forgot to mention that we had the swivel resealed. It has to be done from the top now, as opposed from underneath. What a pain he stood on his head for about a 6 hours working on it. Reduced flow makes sense, that might explain why the thumb circuit is so slow I will...

    Cat 320 DLL

    Good to know the pumps are normal. We just replaced the drive relief valves last week but it still struggles to move, nearly impossible to bench.

    Cat 320 DLL

    Okay KPA makes sense, My eyes aren't what they used to be. But my question Still remains, are these specs normal at full throttle 4000 unburdened 35000 full pull?? My Case CX130 has as much pull as this machine. This machine was also used to run a forestry cutterhead in its earlier life. So much...

    Cat 320 DLL

    I have a Cat 320 DLL that seems weak. The pressure on pumps1 and 2 are about 4200 psi running and spike to over 35,000 psi when operating. The machine as a whole seems weak. These pressures seem high but I do not have anything to reference it to. Thanks Gary \

    Case CX130 Security code

    So I guess its safe to say if I reverse this procedure it would be that easy to unactivate. I need a more sound solution.

    Case CX130 Security code

    I bought a Case CX130 from the Briggs Auction last year and the manual says it has a security code feature. Does anyone know how to set it up. I am assuming that the feature has not been programed before, if so am I stuck? If any one has any other security ideas, please chime in.

    Cat 980g fuel consumption?

    The rule of thumb in a marine application is horsepower times 5% = gallons per hour. This engines are ran at 80% throttle. Most equimpent operate under a more varied load so consumption is usually less. The formula for gas engines is horsepower times 10% = gallons per hour. So a 380 horsepower...

    Rectangular OEM work lights

    I was also unimpressed with the cost and availability of the 24volt lights. What I would up doing was repalcing both 24volt lights with 12volt and wiring them in series. Only problem is if one goes out the other will not work. Kind of light the old Christmas Tree lights. You can purchase two...

    943 Transmission Fluid

    I have had the machine for about 5 years and put about 3000 hours on it. I had not noticed any issues with the power. It is a strong machine for a 943. The transmission was serviced about a year ago. It pulls strong as ever.

    943 Transmission Fluid

    I have an 89 943LPG "Z" series Cat, and I have noticed the fluid on the stick looks like it is aeriated. I check the fluid with the machine warm and at dead idle as cat recomends. Any ideas as to the likely culprit, or an easy way to detect a vacuum leak? MAX

    Case CX130

    Hey guys, I have been visiting this site for a number of years and I find it to be an exceptional resource! I recently bought a cx130 case and have a couple of questions. How do you turn the "service due" reminder off? The second question I have is how do you keep an excavator from...

    Who would like to see the "C" version of the 943 Caterpillar Loader?

    I bought a n 89 943 LGP "Z" series three years ago and find it a very economical and a hard working machine. THe best part is no computers. I can repair almost everything on this machine and it only burns about 3 gallons an hour. I have both a 4n1 bucket and a dirt bucket. I cannot get the 4n1...
