Shot in the dark just looking for some input. Bought a used 277B from a cat dealer and less than 100 hours since I bought (right at 2600 and if I remember right I’m somewhere around 65 hours) and I’ve already had to replace one final drive. Found the crank breather disconnected and pissing oil from dirt getting sucked into the intake. Dealer is offering no support whatsoever. At all.
So now I’m stuck with a dead in the water machine again. So what’s the suggestions of the interwebs.. Cat wants $15k for a new unit.. looks like there’s some new/rebuilds out there for $8500. Or do I try and DIY rebuild.
I’m not a business, I bought this machine for my property. It doesn’t make me any money, and now I’m going to be out the cost of the machine in repairs it seems. And I didn’t even get to the tracks and bogie wheels..
