    CAT 988B Brake/Steering Issue

    One thing popped up.. we had a leak in the oilsupply to the brake in the front axle. We were losing hydraulic oil and no leak, we unscrewed the oilfill and level bolt and there was a gusher.. wow. But I can't remember we had steering issues then..

    CAT 988B Brake/Steering Issue

    Ah you are right ofcourse .. been awhile I ve seen one , and even longer I operated one  I remeber the leverage of the parking brake behind the cab was sticky. We did lots of load carry and the brakes were always noisy , even after a oil change.. so we got a tip from a old mechanic, throw in...

    CAT 988B Brake/Steering Issue

    When nitrogen pressure is low and you apply the brake , the warning light and audio comes on? The parking brake is prone to get sticky , and does not release fully.. than the brakes overheat and you get burned oil from the final drives (and a lot of screeking) I remember from the b model.

    My top 5 best wheel loader!

    put the new 115 and the hit 550 next to each other... they both have the Isuzu engine to. Only Hitachi does not have the equivalent of the zv135 in the range But KCMA builds and sells the kawi's , but are separated from Kawasaki heavy industries.. Wasn't Kawi the first loader with articulated...

    My top 5 best wheel loader!

    Hitachi Kawasaki and Tcm have a joint venture for the 330 , 370 and zw550. The models are basicly Kawi's , but maybe there is a Hitachi motor in it?

    988H Very intermittent hyd. Control Problem

    We have had this problem too, I must ask what it was exactly ,but if I remember correctly it was something with the kickout. Do you guys have the H type with the new controls (knobs on top of the control levers) or the old (g) style? And when it hicks up , the control is dead? I mean you cant...

    Cat 992g engine smothers under load.. kind off

    Hey thanks Nige for this input. :) Have to try the dig trigger. My point exactly with the smoke.. is the variabele pump steered bij the ecm to or only the controls?

    Cat 992g engine smothers under load.. kind off

    Thanks for the replies guys. The engine won't stay on 1400 rpm.. wish it was true. It drops all the way to 700 or sometimes if you hold the controls it parishes. Don't know about the serial.. I'll have a look.

    Cat 992g engine smothers under load.. kind off

    We have a 992 g that sometimes runs fine ,and sometimes the engine smothers under load. This usually happens when the machine is getting warmer , and when riding and hoisting , but mostly hoisting is killing the engine. Now the local dealer wants to pull the engine , but I have the feeling...

    1988 Cat 988B

    Keep an eye on keeping the handbrake lever under the transmission hatch smooth. If it is getting sticky then the brake does not come off completely.

    New 988H Its here!

    Hi Coalburner, Is the machine still in one piece, or did they had to pull the pumps allready? I did see from the pics you have a kind of series 2 988h (the frontend controllevers are different) so those maybe are better machines. We have 2 988h's with the G-style controls and they have given us...
