    Cat 725 wont dump

    I have a cat 725 serial number AFX00494. Yesterday we had a leak from a test port line. I disconnected the line and capped it. Topped off the fluid and the body was going up-and-down perfect. We had to add about 10 gallons to the hydraulic tank this morning to finish topping it off. We went to...

    Cat D3G wont move

    Yes, thanks for everyone's help. Checked pressure at PB switch, zero pressure anywhere on pumps. Almost positive it's the coupling. Gonna put it on the trailer and send to the shop. Thanks for the tips.

    Cat D3G wont move

    So I checked the brake solenoid under the floor access panel, with the parking brake switch on or off, the solenoid is magnetized accordingly. I checked for any access the the bell housing to see if the coupling is gone but there is no way to see anything. The speed sensor hole showed me the...

    Cat D3G wont move

    I will check in the morning, is there anyway to check besides removing engine? I can start the machine and put blade up and park brake off. It doesn't move, I could try and push it and see if it rolls at all. I have plenty of other equipment to help work on this.

    Cat D3G wont move

    Changed the switch, no different. Is the light on the switch supposed to light up? I still have hydraulics to the blade.

    cat cs-533e wont move

    I have a Cat CS-533e roller that will not move. Ser. # ASL00645 . It was intermittent before but now it will do nothing. I thought it was the parking brake not releasing. The light turns off when the parking brake is released. All fuses and relays are good. I have power coming out of the brake...

    Cat AP-655C help

    On the cat 655 paver we had the left propel hydraulic line blow. We have it disconnected at the top end, but the end that connects to the drive motor is impossible to get to. Anyone have any ideas of how to get back there? We can reach over the track but only so far. The line goes down quite a...

    D5C LGP having steering issues

    I have a D5C that wont turn right. I think it might be the valve that comes from the pedal but not sure what lines go where? Does anyone know where I could get a hydraulic schematic without having to buy the service manual...I know there are $600+. Thanks.

Tested it in the yard and was all good for about 10 minutes. And its back. This time with the 2687-8 code. All points to faulty sensor. Which is a big...

    Cat 277C yellow exclamation warning and beeper.

    I tested all the wires for continuity, all check good. Just fired it up again and tested it, it ran without the warning or alarm and then it came back on. Im also feeling a pull to the left...if the left drive motor was not turning at the same speed as the right, it could throw the code for the...

    Cat 289C wont move / moves slowly

    Cat 289c skid steer, 2010. Everything works fine on it except it has serious trouble moving forward and reverse. It will start out fine for the first second and then it slows down to barely a crawl. Same in reverse, throttling up seems to help, which makes me think it is a brake problem?? It...

    Fontaine lowbed no parking brakes

    Update: The parking brake sets and holds, if we turn the truck off they bleed off immediately. If we disconnect the trailer with the truck on, they bleed off slowly. We are still at a loss. Dont hear any major leaks, something that would make them bleed off so fast. Only thing i can think of is...
