can't find doors

[skidrowe]

I have a 1996 cat 426B backhoe ,the window frames that fit in the doors are so rusty that the windows are going to break if I don't do something very soon. I contacted every equip. salvage yard listed and no luck, tried Ebay for the last 6 months and came up with nothing. 1992-1996 cat backhoes 416-446 doors should fit , anybody have any info ? Thanks

PM or email the the Caterpillar Part Numbers for the items you are seeking and we'll research the availability of these items.

The Part Number of the radiator for a 5YJ machine is 4P-3379. You may be able to find a used one in working condition, or an aftermarket replacement, by searching for that number. A quick look online seems to show plenty of options.

That Part Number of radiator is used on 416B/426B/428B/436B/438B machines.

My 426 had rusty doors too. I could not find used ones and I did find one NOS one somewhere but the person wanted like $1500 for it and I could not bring myself to pay that. I ended up repairing them.

Here are some pictures of the process.
