    cat 226

    ok. i think i figured it out- the cat 226b came with the 2.2 3024c turbo engine and the cat 226a came with a 2.9 3034. i just assumed the 226a came with the same engine as the 226b just minus the turbo. but i was wrong.

    cat 226

    hello- was following the older post about perkins pukes in regards to the 2.2 perkins 3024c turbo engine problems. i recently bought a 2003 226a model. wasn,t over concerned since mine is the non turbo version and she runs like a champ. but this post made me go out and check the engine id tag...

    Cat throttle sticking

    mine was like that too when i bought my cat last year. lubing it did not help- bought a new pedal assembly from cat for 176.00 and spent roughly three hours replacing it. i lube it on a regular basis, so i dont have to go through this again. just a pain in the butt install.

    Who uses a skid steer only at home?

    i also use my 226 cat skid steer for personal use- just bought it 3 months ago- my first machine! i have a very long gravel driveway and a few acres of land- it definitely has made my life easier,clearing snow, moving/spreading dirt and stone. love my machine!
