    Cat 615c ejector weak

    Hey guy, I’ve got a 615 that doesn’t want to push a load out the bowl. Ejection circuit is the only weak circuit. Lift and paddle circuits are fine. Ejection cylinders have been rebuilt, along with new hoses and it operates fine with no load. The one thing I have noticed is it doesn’t open...

    D8H 46A crank bolt direction

    I have a 46a that I’m doing a front main seal on and the crank bolt won’t budge. Book says left hand thread as would common sense but I’ve got some conflicting info from a cat tech saying it’s right hand. Wanted to check with the pros here because it hasn’t been the first time a the book or a...

    980g service codes

    Thanks for all your help Nige. Sorry I haven’t replied sooner. I found sensor in location you provided. I was looking in another location due to some bad info from an ex cat service guy. Found pigtail coming out of sensor with wire coating coming apart. Wires were bare all the way down into...

    980g service codes

    Thanks Nige. I have checked wiring and connections with no luck so decided to replace sensor. Cat sent me a three wire part # 131-0427 sensor when machine has a 2 wire. Is there another sender I’m missing somewhere?

    980g service codes

    Good information Nige. Thanks. Code 177.08 is active and the rest are logged codes. I have also been informed that codes that have SERV CODE lit while displaying code are active, if SERV CODE is not lit it’s a logged code. Any truth to this?

    D8H oil leak

    Thanks for the reply. It is a large enough leak that it’s running down front cover into belly pan and when it’s drips off front cover it’s being pulled into lower right corner of radiator. This is where it appears to be coming from but machine will need to be washed well to confirm. It’s coming...

    D8H oil leak

    Thank you very much. Exactly the info I was looking for. I assumed I would have to disassemble fan assembly and/or pulley but the leak has to be fixed. Oil is making its way to radiator and slowly plugging it. Thanks again

    D8H oil leak

    My D8H 46A has an oil leak on front cover. I noticed it when I was replacing water pump. I have never been into the front of a 342 and my manual is missing a couple pages. Is this cover directly removable on its own. What’s behind it? Just don’t want to go in blind without manual to check.

Have replaced sensor, and all connections and so far no luck. Engine started to run rough like a miss when code showed up. He tried to clear codes and somehow...

    Case cx330 engine tick confusion

    Have a 2007 case cx 330 (same machine as link-belt) with an Isuzu 7.8L ( 6HK1X ) that has a heavy ticking sound from #1 or # 2 cylinder. At idle it is very faint but once off idle it gets somewhat louder and follows engine rpm. It also grows as engine warms up. I have a hard time believing it’s...
