    cat 225 excavator 51u725 boom up speed adjust knob question

    to the right of the operator seat is a boom up speed increase boom down speed decrease adjustment. How does it work and what does it connect to? It looks like a throttle adjust cable but it's seized. My boom up is pretty slow. I'm hoping my speed can be adjusted faster,

    cat 225 51u725 will not tram

    I got the tram motors to turn briefly by turning out the screw on the brake valve,I put the cover back on the tram motors and now it won’t do anything. Does that screw have anything to do with the pressure to the brakes?

    cat 225 51u725 will not tram

    no one has worked on it that i'm aware of. I loaded a load of dirt and backed the machine up.delivered that load of dirt and went to move it again and it got to moving real slow and then stopped and won't budge now.

    cat 225 51u725 will not tram

    neither side will turn.when i step on the pedal the motor loads and the tram motor hoses flex. i checked the oil in the final drives and there's no metal. How and where do i check the prssure to the drive motors? I also think the lift cylinder is slow,is the boom lift and tram motors controlled...

    Cat 225 excavator part number 8k2183

    I’m not 100 percent sure it’s leaking at that joint ,it’s either leaking where I’m pointing at or at the oring mating surface. It’s leaking too bad to tell for sure. I just don’t wanna put it back together and it leak from that pipe. It’s definitely not welded because it’ll spin

    Cat 225 excavator part number 8k2183

    I’m pointing to the area with a screwdriver that it’s apparently leaking from. The top section that has the o/ring boss swivels on that tube that is one assembly with the bottom square block.
