Cat 255 vs 259D3 tracks
We have a whole fleet of 259D3 skid loaders. We just bought some 255's and i'm going through its consumables and saw the 255's take 400x86x52 tracks while the 259D3's take 400x86x53 tracks. I have stock of the 53 tracks at my yard. Can I use the 53 link tracks on the 255's? Is the extra 86mm...- Hunter013

D8N Engine Seized
D8N 9TC03863 Was pushing piles with it no problem, machine sat for a day or two, now the starter clunks and won’t spin, like something is holding the engine back.

Non-greaseable u-joints on new trucks

Hydraulic tank pressurizing problem
We tested the pump pressure with a load on. Had about 1200 psi, should be around 2250psi. We changed the pump out and checked inside the tank. The suction line had a plastic tube that extended half way up the tank. Someone years ago must have put that in for some odd reason. We took that tube... -
High Air Filter Restriction
A few days later the truck came back with a def light on the dash. Ran a forced regen and that seemed to fix everything. -
High Air Filter Restriction
I'm sorry, I thought it was H20, but it is %. Why/how is it normal to have 30% restriction? Is it just because of the high vacuum being pulled from acceleration? I drove both the problem truck and its sister truck unloaded down the interstate and they read the exact same numbers; boost, air... -

High Air Filter Restriction
2025 T880 X15 Driver said inlet air restriction was at 30 when loaded. We changed the filter (Filter was barely dirty and was changed 1 month before that). Driver said restriction was better, but still high around 17. We took apart whole inlet side and didn't see anything abnormal. What else... -

Lubricating Wheel Studs and Lug Nuts
Since my start in the industry everyone has always told me 500 ft/lbs, and the lug nuts themselves have 450-500 ft/lbs stamped on them. -
Lubricating Wheel Studs and Lug Nuts
We have some 33mm lug nuts, on M22 studs, starting to loosen up. We used to put lug nuts on dry, and we always torqued everything to 500 ft/lbs. Hearing others opinions online and locally, I'm going to implement the following procedure in the shop: Clean studs before taking off lug nuts Clean... -
