    982 M burning oil

    It’s currently still a rental machine, we are doing a rental purchase on it, so we’re hoping to get this fixed before we own it. We are providing oil samples, and documenting all fuel and oil usage, as our local Cat dealer is hoping that corporate will pay for repairs. The machine is currently...

    Installed new Hyd. Pump, hydraulics have been drifting ever since...?

    The only part we have changed out was the Hyd. Pump. We haven't calibrated it yet, might have to try that. Will also check those valves, at this point we will try anything.

    Installed new Hyd. Pump, hydraulics have been drifting ever since...?

    The hydraulic pump on our 980G recently went bad, so we replaced it with a new pump straight from our Cat dealer. As soon as it was installed both the tilt and lift have been drifting quite noticeably. Before the old pump went bad, this loader had no cylinder drift at all. We have looked into...

    Need input-- using conveyor system to move material on reclaim jobs

    Not sure what your price range is but for a completely portable operation capable of moving material 600', buying new could be upwards of $1,000,000. With that being said you will save on fuel and also labor, and most likely cut down your down times. Also the moves wouldn't take much longer...

    Need input-- using conveyor system to move material on reclaim jobs

    How fast are you looking to move material? You can easily find a conveying system that will move 500-1000 ton per hour of material.

    980G Steering Problem

    I'm looking for wood to knock, because so far none. From all the ones we have had we don't see any tranny problems til 35-40,000 hours. We have had much more engine trouble then transmission.

    980G Steering Problem

    Sorry, the reply made it seem as I was referring to the wiper motor, but I meant we had to take out the steering shaft a few times to get the timing right.

    980G Steering Problem

    Yeah we ended up having to take it out a few times to get the timing right. 18,000 hours shes just a baby, ours is pushing 29,000. Just sold our 980F with 72,000 hours on her.

    980G Steering Problem

    It ended up being exactly this! Originally they tried moving it and thought it was good, but they ended up taking it a part and the grease inside mixed with dirt was causing it to stick, they ended up cleaning and removing the guard. Works perfect now, thanks Mark!

    980G Steering Problem

    The serial is 2KR01856 it has the command steering in it. We were thinking maybe the centering valve? We last used a few months ago and worked fine when we shut it down and when we fired it back up yesterday it started happening.

    980G Steering Problem

    We have a 980G Series I that is having a problem steering to the right. All other hydraulic functions works like normal including steering to the left. When you try to steer right it becomes very stiff and you need two hands to get it to move, once it gets past a certain spot it works fine...

    Looking for a backup strobe light

    Awhile back one of the loaders we had purchased came with a strobe light that kicked on along with the back up alarm, when the machine was put into reverse. I've looked high and low for these, as I want to add them on all of our equipment, but can't find them. They really help out when you...
