    Rock drill grease - special?

    Hi. We bought it in 20L buckets. And this was exactly the same as CAT YPG55. We purchased at the beginning couple buckets from CAT (at very high price) - and they were same winzer buckets with little CAT sticker on the top.

    Rock drill grease - special?

    Hi! No, we didn't find any replacement, but we were lucky to locate it in US and purchased directly from Winzer. The price was pretty reasonable (5 times cheaper than from local CAT dealer).

    CAT 777E trucks (KDP serial prefix)

    Hi all. We have new fleet coming of 777E trucks. I have never had any experience (we always had 777Ds). Can anybody advise on what are minuses and known failures of this model? Any particular parts we should stock for the beginning? Any information will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Komatsu Backhoes?

    I worked for Komatsu in Russia, now I'm in West Africa at the mine and all our fleet is CAT here. There is no really a difference if you compare which brand is better - both yellow, both have advantages and weak points. What is really important - what kind of support you have (parts and...

    745C Electronics -- Monitor dump cycle

    If you have a fleet of few CAT 745C dump trucks (serial ## LFK...) - just an advice: better get your local dealer to have new transmission in their warehouse. I wouldn't purchase it yourself, because CAT haven't found solution yet, but out of 3 brand new water trucks we have - 2 failed (one in...

    777D A/C belts problem (FKR prefix)

    Yes, Cmark, machines originally were shipped with previous style pulleys and CAT changed them while assembling the trucks. We don't have any other options yet. local CAT dealer is slower than smoke of the sh..t. Actually like any other company here - the word "urgency" doesn't mean anything...

    777D A/C belts problem (FKR prefix)

    Thanks Kshansen! I was thinking about making groove in that pulley... We just started here, so it is temporary shop, no lathe or anything like that. The disk might be a solution if we find piece like that. We'll try. Thanks anyway! Regards, Dima

    777D A/C belts problem (FKR prefix)

    Hi Cmark. Thanks for advice. Part of the problem is that these 2 pulleys (where they are running the back of the belt around) are flat. And the one just close to A/C compressor - is the one where belts slides off. There is nothing that holds the belt on the pulley. I just found that 777D (AGC...

    777D A/C belts problem (FKR prefix)

    Hi All. Did anybody has had troubles with A/C belts on 777D (serial number prefix - FKR)? We had struggled with this in Namibia since 2014, and the belt part number we were using was 213-6558. CAT made couple updates - none of them helped. We are now in Mali with same problems. Recent CAT...

    We had Tier 4 on CAT 725C truck and we have 2 service trucks with Tier 4 (Cummins and Detroit).

We were importing it from Europe (we are in West Africa now), but...

    Komastu diagnostic software

    Big excavators should have VHMS port in them, but you need cable and VHMS diagnostic software. When I worked in Komatsu dealership, they wouldn't sell it to the customers (maybe different now?) Small machines can be equipped with KOMTRAX, which send all the data through Orbcomm and customer...

    Komatsu Dozer D155AX-3 Problem

    Mahammad, I just sent you email with explanation - you have all the troubleshooting procedures described in your manual. I would recommend first to check all the connectors anyway - I seen a lot of fault codes on Komatsu dozers (especially 375-6R) that were leading to failed controller, but...

    Fleet management software

    That Vinitysoft application will only work for you if you have contractors doing services for your equipment. There is no way to create templates of all PMs for each type of equipment. Master Service tab should contain all the job description for all types and no way to separate them by...
