    Cat 920 accelerator detent

    My 920 loader won’t idle. As soon as I let off on the accelerator it dies. If I’m understanding correctly, there should be a detent that holds the throttle “open” just a bit so it idles- then pull “up” on the accelerator ( past the detent) to kill the engine. How do I go about correcting...

    Cat 920 that has been sitting

    I am purchasing a '78 Cat 920 loader that has been sitting for 7-8 years. Its a 62K 9xxx serial number. It has a 3304PC engine in it. It comes with the famous story of "ran good when parked". The engine is now seized up. I'm sure there are no miracle cures, and it should just be bought with...

    1845c- HTO or not?

    I bought a used, early 1845c. PIN number is JAF0042XXX. I am hoping to service it. In the manual I notice that the HTO additive for the hydraulics is not needed for PIN numbers prior to JAF0067438. I don't know the history of this machine and what has/has not been replaced. Should I just...

    brown cab vs. grey cab 1845c

    I'm looking at Case 1845c skidsteers. I have read that the grey cab machine is favorable to the older brown cab machines. What is/are the differences? In my price range 8-10k I can find both. Is it a deal breaker to find a brown cab machine as opposed to a grey cab? I understand the grey...
