I bought a d9t s/n Rex 00379 wood chip dozer
Real nice tractor its had Cat certified rebuild came off lease and the owner-bank put it up for sale. Its just sat around doing nothing for 2 years it last pushed wood chips around March 2020 and parked up until it was moved to a storage facility.
They hired the Cat Dealer to see why it was having emission codes and alarms going off this was August 2020 in which it had dead batteries, Cat report say they had to jump start it back in August 2020 in order to check out what was wrong.
Under a lease and getting close to the end of the lease I'm guessing they let the emissions system Def and diesel particulate filter system run out of service the Ard was changed actually the whole emission system was removed rebuilt and new reman particulate filter installed Cat says every 5000 hrs change filter. Also in the report it says they had a rusty spliced barbed connection on the Def line from the tank to the injector where the line must broke. They changed that drained the Def tank installed new Def got everything working correctly according to the report and tractor was running well with no faults or alarms cost $13,000 for the total repair
I went ahead and bought tractor with faith in all the Cat records on it so I did not drive 1000 miles to go see it. They had to get it started in order for me to buy it, but they could not get it to jump start this time (batteries they did not want to spend any more).
It had to run and work/drive so I agreed to buy batteries, it also got a new starter they paid for that.
Probably they burnt starter up from jumping it or rusted up from sitting. They hired Cat Dealer to install batteries and starter and it started right up sent me a Video of it driving and going thru the gears moving around a bit ect. But it had a code showing they would not pay Cat to dig deeper into it. funny its never been used since the whole system was rebuilt and all codes and fault/Buzzers were gone tractor running great according to the Cat report
I received the tractor this past week its got the alarm exclamation point light buzzer sounding off and a code
here is what I see on the computer screen.
3 stars Def %
Emission Fault 1/5
e1389 v
2348-9 (2)
2466-9
Engine is in derate pretty sure now has no high rpm from de'accelerator
Is this something I can correct myself or ? the D9T has maybe 6 hrs on it since Cat repaired emission system Aug 2020
