    953C BBX won't start

    finally got the problem fixed , although I'm not sure what it was because I took all the connections apart and cleaned the with contact cleaner and put them back together and it fired up. So which one of the seven or eight it was I can't answer that.

    953C BBX won't start

    Working on a 953C BBX serial number prefix. I had to remove the cab in order to replace the head because of injector cups leaking and valves were also leaking. I got that work done, put the cab back on the machine, hooked up all wiring harness and now the starter won't engage. There is a...

    In search of a CAT 215B Excavator Engine (Model 3304)

    I did some checking and the machine build date was March 12 1979, So here is what I know about that era of cat engines. Cat was trying to get their equipment to better conform to EPA, so they were trying different things. The combustion chamber engines have the capsule nozzles in them and a...

    3304 Engine question

    Another question is do you own both engines and what is the main concern? This may be out of the box thinking but if the front and rear mounts are the same I would use it. If not then change the rear bell housing and front support. I have seen quite a bit of swapping in my day. 45 years ago...

    Wabco scrapers at work

    Just curious to on how your scrapers worked for you you on the production side of things. By the looks of the soil you are working with they should have done a good job. My dad had a C-Pull with a handcock scraper with a CPA6A serial number that he bought in 1964. It orginaly had the six teeth...

    Terex TC75 hydraulics

    I have a Terex TC-75 that has a hydraulic engaging problem. I can start the machine and all the hydraulics will work fine. Then jar the machine and they kick out, then I have to shut off the engine and start all over. Sometimes it will have to be restarted several times to get the hydraulic...

    Wabco scrapers at work

    Yes, I read the book and couldn't stop laughing at most of RG antics. It also explains and shows how brilliant his mind was. On a side note somewhere I read that he is number two to Thomas Eddison in the number of patents held. What I would have liked to have seen were his 210 Yard scrapers...

    Wabco scrapers at work

    Sometime before the 111A there was the D-Pull with a Hancock scraper. My Dad had two of them one with an Allison automatic transmission, and the other was with a Fuller 5 speed. The Hancock manual calls it a Hancock 10E2 Elevating Scraper With L-W "D-Pull" according to the Installation...

    955H turbo replacement

    I use Blaylock Turbo in Baxter Spring, Kansas. The problem with the turbo on the 955H was it was an expensive turbo to repair. You have a machine that is 4.5 bore. When Cat came out with the 3306 engine they went to a 4.75 bore engine. I know several farmer/mechanics that took the 3406...

    Bucket pins

    First as bad as that looks the repair isn't going to be inexpensive. From what I see in the photo the one arm looks bent, (that might be the way the picture was taken). So you will have to straighten that first. Then since you will have to have new pins I would find some Cat pins that would...

    Dumb farmer needs some pull scraper operation pointers

    Hi Dirt Poor, Part of the problem is the cat 90 scraper. The old Cat pull scrapers are extremely hard mouthed, meaning that the cutting edge is blunt. When you talked about your dad and LeTourneau scrapers they could be loaded with a smaller dozer, comparing size for size. The main thing to...

    Wabco scrapers at work

    Very good looking!!!! by the way what is the serial number of that good lucking girl? I don't know if you checked the brushes in the alternator but they liked to corrode and cause weak amperage and voltage. Here in the US they were made out of aluminum and would make it difficult for the...
