    Cummins NTC855 Service Manuals/ Literature

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has a copy of the service/ repair manual for the big cam IV engines (NTC855) they could send me a copy of? Got one I’m working on at the moment and nobody seems to really know much about the older gear anymore. Sadly it’s too old for Quickserve too. Thanks in...

    Ratchet Breaker Bars and Snap On tools

    G'day ladies and gents, I'll be honest- I need to eat my words a bit here. I'm an apprentice diesel fitter and although I have a lot of the tools I need I've been stocking up on new bits for the stuff I don't already have. I have avoided Snap On so far for two reasons. The first is the crazy...

    Pipe Plug Sockets

    G'day all, I'm currently servicing a lot of equipment and I know that the Caterpillar machines use "Pipe Plug" sockets. Just wondering if anyone other than Snap On make them of decent quality? What do you guys use? Cheers

    Excavator Power Line/ Live Wire alarm system

    G'day all, I saw a machine recently which had a "live wire alarm system" installed in the cab. From what I can tell it detects the 50Hz electrical field around power lines using a small aerial mounted on top of the stick. Has anyone had experience with these devices? Are they actually of...

    Small lapses in concentration

    Hey all, I've been nosing around this part of the forum for a while debating whether I should post or not but I have decided that I should for I feel like I can contribute. Although what I'm posting can be considered "little" things I think it's more than worthwhile to share them. I've...

    Wheeled Excavators- Bucket Trailer

    Hello everyone, Ok so I saw a thread before that mentioned wheeled excavators and quick hitches. So I thought what would happen if you had 4 or 5 (maybe more) buckets and the excavator operator wanted to move around with them easily? Then I though, why not make a trailer to carry them, and...

    Mining Shovel Dust Suppression

    Hello everyone, I was watching a documentary yesterday and I saw a short sequence involving a Terex RH340 face shovel loading a Cat 793 Dump:D and I noticed that the shovel had little (probably not actually little) hoses spraying what looked to be water (it was like a mist) out around the boom...

    Posing Large Models

    So I have my NZG Liebherr 9350 backhoe and I have been posing it but putting my hand over the track frames and lifting the boom worries me, as I don't want to break it off the track frame (as that would suck so much). So how do all you guys do it? Or don't you pose them at all:tong (Solutions...

    Why are track loaders not massive like wheel loaders can be?

    I was looking at my 994F model the other day and wondered why no track loader was anywhere near as big? Just wondering. Thanks, D11RCD

    My trip to the local Caterpillar Dealership

    Well yesterday my dad and I went to my local Cat dealer so I could see their current used stock. I have heard of U.S. Cat dealers being arrogant but even though I am only 12 years old they treat me like gold! I will post some pics tomorrow:bouncegri
