    No down pressure on blade. Cat 303.5E.

    Finally, sort of, figured this out. Good enough, I guess. There is one LITTLE sweet spot that does push the blade down. The lever is real easy to just push it all the way and the blade floats down. If I push the lever forward slowly, I can get it to push the blade down. There is no feel of...

    I am not feeling any setting to float. All I am feeling is up or down.

    No down pressure on blade. Cat 303.5E.

    Got used machine. Haven't found owner manual yet. Pusher blade acts like it is in float mode or something. It will come up when I pull on the lever. Push down on the lever and it lowers to the ground but doesn't even try to push down or stabilize the machine. I see the sticker beside the lever...

    416C, Seat Rotate Stop

    I finally got schedule enough to take a stab at this. Took a couple of bolts out of the front of the slider track and the seat slides back far enough to get to this. Got the spring out. Yep, broke. Call CAT. Figure out what spring. Said looks like spring is available. Probably cost less...

    416C, Seat Rotate Stop

    Was using last week. Flipped the seat around. Won't latch to stop. Seat swivels back and forth. I looked under the seat and it looks like there is supposed to be a spring to flip a strap down with a pin that is supposed to go in a hole to keep the seat in position facing forward or back. I...

    Delicate Motor Gator can't plow snow without damage unless there is at LEAST 4 inches

    I didn't even see that driveway gate as being rubber. I thought it was probably steel. That is even worse to worry about damaging.

    Case Forklift 584, 580B? Transmission?

    This seems to be the dipstick for the transmission. The fluid level is fine. The fluid looks good. ------------------------------------------------- I did find the filter behind (ahead of) the grill by the radiator. Has 4 bolts that hold the top on and a big plug in the bottom...

    Case Forklift 584, 580B? Transmission?

    I have a Case Forklift that I am working on. I think that this might be basically a backhoe tractor with a forklift attached at the end with the big tires. There is a serial number sticker on the tractor part that says 580B CK. Serial #8774186. There is another serial number sticker on...

    Cat 416C. Return to dig switch.

    Cat 416C. Serial Number *5YN05###*. The electric switch on the center front bucket linkage has a roller on the end of a lever. When the bucket curls back to 'flat', the roller falls into a detent in a disc and bucket movement quits. My roller is worn off. The switch works, but not...

    tires

    Is there anything to put on rims or tire to help with sealing bead leaks? I have several machines that the tires seem to be dry and won't quit leaking.

    Cat 416c Backhoe Loader. Where to get front bucket cutting edge?

    The few places I found online were about $130 X 2 = $260 + s&h. I will get the part number of the bucket and find out for sure. Check the dealer. I wasn't sure if there were some better suppliers instead of dealer...
