    Cat 120G Serial Number lookup, Blade questions

    Thank you Nige. It appears the inner left and well as inner right are missing on the antler rack, so probably never installed.

    Cat 120G Serial Number lookup, Blade questions

    He folks, I am looking at Cat 120G to purchase, Serial number 87v2892, 4432hrs with complete maintenance records and service/parts manuals. It has a 16' rubber bottom blade installed and a 12' blade included. It doesn't have the l/r slide cylinder on either blade. Was this an option and not...

    New Cat 977K owner with questions

    Your probably right to just cap the lines off to the loader. I could reconnect if I ever get a 4 in one or grapple bucket. I probably won’t get to that unless a project comes up that justifies them. Once it warms up a bit I’ll pull that side cover and get a game plan going. I’m having a hard...

Can I hook into those lines or should I add a fourth valve for the ripper? I would like to leave plumbing up to bucket in case I...

    New Cat 977K owner with questions

    I appreciate the comments and will definitely put hook on a weight, if I make one. I’m looking for a ripper and will make some calls tomorrow on some internet salvage 977k’s that show one. The only significant down side to the ripper I see would be the reduced clearance in back for maneuvering...

    Bad Bob, Thanks for your comments. We will be loading into trucks on occasion but not consistently. I think I will use without counter weight for now and try to find a ripper that would also serve as some weight on back. The groused bars are only about an inch high but appear to be made that...

    New Cat 977K owner with questions

    Just picked up Cat 977K (S# 46K608) from gsa auction in Yellowstone National Park. Greased and checked levels then did a little work around corrals at ranch. Appears to be nicely maintained and everything worked as it should. I am new to this tracked loader and was impressed with its size and...
