Yeah! I have stepped in it!YIKES!! Good luck with that! I'm glad it's not me having to deal with it. I got enough crap as it is.
I use this phrase a lot lately: “ on the construction machines there is no unimportant leaks”.It could be cooking, oil contamination, or a combination of both causing this type of effect on harnesses, but I've also heard of harness insulation flaking (mostly on excavators) around a similar time frame to the manufacture of this machine which was down to a change of insulation material.
On the excavators there was factory support to replace harnesses where the insulation had cracked or flaked off but the programs expired long ago. The Problem Statement read- "The existing wiring harness insulation can crumble and flake apart. This may cause short or open circuits, generate Fault Codes, or other electrical issues."
All goes to show that there is nothing to beat keeping machines clean...!!
Yeeeap!!!You have you’re work cut out here!
All of that ( besides steam cleaning) is already done by me.I think that before I had anyone working for me lay a wrench on that POS I'd tell the owner to rent a steam cleaner if he doesn't have one already and let one of his minions loose with it for at least a week. Drop the belly guards, lift the floor, & get the operator seat out of the way first obviously.
Then once it's halfway clean you might be able to see what you're doing.
If you talking about one that leaks - I think it is implement system test port, it is at the end of the P gallery of control valve.From the picture that quick disconnect port looks like an SOS sample port because of the hole in the middle for a needle and because of the green dust cover. If it is it will probably be a 7/16 orb instead of 9/16 “
But I think you’re right - it is also a sample port.From the picture that quick disconnect port looks like an SOS sample port because of the hole in the middle for a needle and because of the green dust cover. If it is it will probably be a 7/16 orb instead of 9/16 “
OK. Thanks.It won’t be both. Cat has 2 different valves for that. The one with a hole in the middle won’t allow the gauge to attach.
