    CAT 277B skid steer cranks but won't start

    Just wanted to give an update on this... I got the machine running this weekend. Still seems a bit sluggish, but I only drove it around for about 5 minutes. Plus, it was about 35 degrees out, so I'll chalk it up to the cold for now. Apparently the new fuel pump isn't strong enough to draw in...

    CAT 277B skid steer cranks but won't start

    No it didn't. I forgot to ask about that. I wasn't sure if the new filter was supposed to show fuel in the bowl after it primed or if the bowl is just for the water that is removed over time. It's my understanding that the fuel filter also serves as a water separator and that the water collects...

    CAT 277B skid steer cranks but won't start

    I believe I did that. I tried turing the key to the on position both with the bar up and down and let the fuel pump run for 30 seconds or so before switching then ignition back to off and then cranking.

    CAT 277B Panel Lights Not Working

    A few months ago I was having some electrical issues (I was melting batteries and the machine wouldn't start). Long story short, it was a bad alternator. However, during the process of trying to diagnose that issue, my panel lights also kept blowing their fuse. So like an idiot I tried putting...
