    Case 310G

    A long shot, but here goes: Have a Case 310 G with 148 Gas engine and backhoe attachment. The backhoe hasn't been attached in 20+ years but worked fine when I removed it. I'm sure the hoses are shot and rust spots are appearing on the extended cylinder rods. Definitely will need work to make...

    Cat 232D

    Bought a new 232D from Foley Equipment a month ago. Just discovered they want $800.00 to switch the ISO over to H pattern. Is this a simple fix or is it something an owner/operator should/could attempt. Nothing was said at time of purchase about control function and Foley apologizes but won't...

    Have a 310 Case loader for sale for $6,000.00. Undercarriage was completely replaced 300 hours ago. 148 gas engine uses a little oil. Have a 201 engine (overhauled) on a stand which I was going to install, but never did. Backhoe attachment included but I've not used or mounted it (backhoe)...

    Bobcat 553

    Have a 553 that I bought new about 2005 with a total of 332 hours on it. I used it this morning to shuttle concrete from the mixer to forms and no problems. Lit it up a few minutes ago, moved it about 100 yards, loaded a bucket of rubble and a racket came from behind. Within a few seconds...

    953 link removal

    I need to remove one link as I'm out of adjustment on my 20Z 953. Idlers are in the 'high wear' position already and adjusters are all the way out. Will the idlers need to be moved back rearward to the 'factory new' position after a link is removed? I don't want to break the track before...

    953 track adjustment

    1984 20Z: adjusters are all the way out and front idler is in the 'high wear' position. Tracks are not loose by any means but noticed last season metal shavings coming off outside of rails on left side. Sprockets are in good shape as are rollers and idler. Is it ever advisable to remove a...

    broken tap

    Someone in the past has broken off a 1/2-13 tap in the 'nut' that one of the belly pan bolts threads into. I'd like to remove the tap before I reinstall said pan. Have a stick welder and plasma and would hope not to set myself on fire working upside down under machine. Hydraulic lines...

    lift cylinder hoses

    Have an early 953 (20Z) with a bad hose on the left lift cylinder. Seems almost impossible to replace but I did manage to remove both hoses, but now need to replace both. The issue is how to tighten connections between the hard lines coming from the cylinder and the hose ends. The fuel tank...

    Case backhoe attachment

    I have a Case backhoe attachment (#33 I think) that fits my 310 track loader and also the 350 and 450 and possibly others. I'd like $750.00 for the outfit and it was in good working order when I last used it 10 years ago. The boom cylinder rod has started a little rust and I suspect the hoses...

    Seat cushions

    Oddly enough I can't seem to find replacement back rest and seat cushions except from Cat dealer. I can find seat covers and foam from the dealer at a reasonable cost, but I'm not sure if I have original pans on my 953. Anyone have links to replacement seat suppliers???

    953 track adjuster

    Went to adjust my tracks by first removing cover plates to reveal adjusters and... found both compartments nearly full of water and mud. WTF??? I would have supposed some provision for self draining (like a hole in the bottom of compartment) would have been incorporated into the design. The...

    ether assist

    My 953A has and ether starting assist which uses the throw away cylinders. On the assist assembly is a metal cap with a chain stay that screws on to a small cylindrical compartment on the side. Looks like an old time match holder except way too shallow. What's it for???

    953 tilt cylinder

    Cylinder is starting to seep. Reading up on removal procedures I run into 1 possible obstacle: do I need a hydraulic pusher/puller to remove the front and rear pins? I think I can manage the rest and would 'farm out' the actual overhaul of cylinder to the local Cat dealer as I am too old to...

    Glass removal from Kenco cab

    One of the door frames on my Kenco Cab (953 Cat) needs welded back together and I need to remove the glass from the rubber molding to effect the repair. A call to Kenco resulted in helpful info, but I still don't see how to "unlock' the rubber gasketing. The rubber is pushing 20 years old and...

    Batteries

    Need to replace the batteries in my '80's vintage 953 this year. The old ones were Cat batteries and went 10 years. Would like the next set to last that long and am wondering if anything out there is that good. New batteries from local Cat dealer are about 50% higher that aftermarket...

    953 electrical

    My service manual and parts manual for this machine leave a lot to be desired. My 953 alternator light flashes continuously with engine running. Batteries stay charged and the alternator tested ok at a trusted shop. This problem developed 4 or 5 years ago, but now it's time to buy new...
