    Cat 289D demand fan issues

    SN: TAW02381 I’ve noticed over the last year of owning my unit, the demand fan has slowed down. It used to spin really fast about 10-15 seconds after starting and now you can nearly hear it when it does. The machine is running fine and it’s always puffs a cloud of dust out of the radiator...

    289D Fuel Sending Unit Issues

    SN TAW02381 This evening I went out to swap the bucket for the new Jenkins super duty tree puller and had (2) issues. 1st - The electric actuator went out on the coupler. Not uncommon and still determining next steps. 2nd - The fuel sending unit now will start with a full tank (which it...

    Cat Hyd. Coupler Rebuild/Upgrade

    SN: TAW02381 2014 289D I have a 289D that the work tool couplers are starting to get sticky on. I don't mind rebuilding them but have seen comments on others upgrading them to 3/4" from 1/2" to help with high flow applications. Is this something someone has data on? I don't use high flow...

    Replacement tracks

    My 289D is starting to toss the tracks randomly and I’ve got the adjuster maxed out on tension to get the tracks close to spec on sag. Knowing that there are only 2-4 places actually manufacturing tracks, who do you like to get them from? My current setup is 450x86x56 block style and I’d...

    289D Side Window Removal

    SN: TAW02381 2015 289D I'm looking to remove the windows/window frame from my machine to clean things as well as get the windows tinted. Do I need to remove the arm assemblies on either side of the seat or can I get the whole thing out without doing that step? Thanks, Brian

    CAT 289d charging issues

    SN TAW02381 2015 cat 289d So the last few days I’ve had some odd charging issues pop up. At idle, I’m getting 14.2V but under use (constant flow, creep, float..etc) the gauge cluster shows as low as 12.2v. I’m assuming it’s the alternator, but open to suggestions. I can put a battery in...

    Cat 289D tail lights

    SN: TAW02381 2015 Cat 289D So the wife noticed the other evening when I was playing around in the machine that I had the front overhead lights on but the red tail lights in the back weren’t on. When should those come on and if it’s with the front lights, suggestions on the normal culprit on...

    Re-clocking A/C compressor - Cat 289D

    SN: TAW02381 2015 Cat 289D I’ve been going through the new-to-me 289D I recently bought. It’s currently got 2760 hours on it, 30-ish hours by me. I pulled the engine cover to check belts in detail and look at some relays back by the fuel tank that aren’t probably mounted. During the...
