    CAT J450 and J460 teeth will interchange, right?

    Have a CAT bucket calling for J460 teeth but I can get a killer deal on a stack of surplus J450 teeth a few hours away. From what I can see all places list these as the same size but is there an difference and why did they have 2 series?

    Slew bearing oil recommendation Volvo EC390

    I need to change the oil bath on the slew ring and Volvo gives no spec for it in the service manuals. They tell me 5 gallons but no viscosity. Dealer has the same book and is scratching his head. I’m using, per Volvo spec, 85w-140 GL-5 in the swing reduction unit and final drives. Anybody think...

    277B tracks OEM vs Camso Vs ?

    I need to find a set of tracks to fit a 277b that I can put on my ASV MD70. Since nobody sells the 55 lug ASV tracks the conversion is the Cat 277b/ASV 4500 track with 56 lugs. No problem, but OEM or Camso? Not going to get some really cheap aftermarket track with 6 month warranty. $2k per track...

    Anyone in Oz deal with Denco Diesel?

    Wondering if anyone has dealings with Denco Diesel? They have a part I need and nobody in the USA has i stock. Shippong to the States would be bloody expensive but their price seems good so may give it a shot.

    Sometimes you just need to make the parts...even little ones

    Locking throttle cable on the irrigation pump went bad this weekend. Couldn’t find a good one locally. Took it apart and the hex on the inside of the collet was shot. Figured I’d just make one or have to use VGOS. Got piece of brass in the lathe, turned the OD and bored the center, cut the...

    D4D hydraulic tank holding pressure?

    Cat D4D, 83J2406, hydraulic tank is holding pressure. Is this correct? Service manual doesn’t mention anything about it and parts book doesn’t show the cap missing any parts. The cap has a drilled hole for vent that goes around the threads but is still outside the gasket seal on the filler...

    FOD in Garrett GT4288 need parts distributor help

    Pulled the air inlet line to get at the servo pump, stuck my nose in turbo and found that some FOD had gotten in there and ruined the compressor. Pulled it apart and could get away with a new compressor wheel, bearing kit and balance but it appears that price comes to 1/2 that of a new CHRA...

    Scrap solder

    I have about 400 lbs of 50/50 lead/tin solder from a wave soldering machine that I want to scrap/sell and don't think my local guy is doing me any favors. I am seeing close to $4 a pound online and he is barely offering $3. Stuff is in 20lb ingots as molded from the machine. Am I getting taken...

    New CAT paint is DTM - no primer??

    Just went to the local Cat dealer to get paint and they no longer have primer and top coat - just a one shot direct to metal paint. Now, this would be easier and faster - but my experience with industrial DTM paints from other vendors has not been great. Despite intensive prep they didn't stick...

    Bosch RSV governor question

    I have a question on a Bosch RSV governor on a P series pump. The engine is a Volvo TD103KAE. The entire throttle control system has been rigged by a previous owner and I am trying to straighten things out. Throttle is controlled by a linear actuator and fuel shutoff is done by an electric fuel...

    Blumaq parts

    Does anybody have experience with parts from Blumaq? They appear to be pretty large and based in Spain but I don't see many opinions on their quality. They do supposedly have parts that Volvo can't get for me so I'll probably have to try them. Just wondering what to expect. Thanks.

    Volvo ec390

    Just picked up a decent 1998 Volvo ec390 (45ton). Engine is Volvo TD103 KAE. Always have had mostly Cat equipment but needed a bigger machine on the farm and this fit my budget. Couldn't find a usable Cat for close to the money so here I am with a few questions. Does anybody have any...
