    951C / D4D / ??? Recoil Spring Covers

    Hello all. Actually have the machine working! (951C 86J3065) Now to keep it that way I'd like to find a set of covers for the recoil springs. I have one of the rear covers, but missing everything else. Be nice to limit rocks and all manner of skull duggery from breaking those springs...

    951C Radiator ID

    I don't have any pics right now it is still at the radiator shop. I'm getting it back probably Monday, going to do it ourselves. Dave yes, the cooler is just mounted between the tans next to the core. Very similar to the pics that Skynight had in his post I referenced earlier. Thanks Nige...

    951C Radiator Removal

    Hello all. (951C 86J3065) My neighbor is borrowing my 951C and is sorting out a few on the things that I'd not gotten to yet. It is overheating a bit (The oil cooler has been out and cleaned up. It wasn't too bad, but definitely wasn't clean...) and the radiator looks like it is pretty gunked...

    CAT 951C Year and Bucket Teeth

    Thanks gents. For simplicity I'd thought about just getting a new set. I'm assuming that it will take a bit of welding to use the existing holders (now that you mention it, not smart enough to have thought that on my own...) as it is pretty clear that it was used a bit without teeth. Nige...

    CAT 951C Year and Bucket Teeth

    Finally have the machine back and pictures of the teeth. The holders are not the same, assume I have more than one type. Appreciate if you all can identify what type of teeth I have, at least what I need to replace? I still am trying to learn the difference and benefit between the type of...

    Labor Sanity Check - 951C Control Valve

    Appreciate the replies. Was hoping maybe there is some kind of book rate for the more common tasks. Being a 1970 something (best guess is 76 or 77) I doubt they even have any if that anymore, they have told me that they tossed almost all of the manuals when they upgraded their system a few...

    Labor Sanity Check - 951C Control Valve

    Hello everyone! Machine is still at the shop (951C 86J3065) and could use a bit of a sanity check on labors charges. They have me at 24 hours to R&R the control valve. I know that the tank had to be split to get it out, but have a very hard time understanding where 24 hours goes. Half that...

    A 951C I have, A Clue I Do Not...

    I have 8 or 10 7K9222 "washers" that are listed in the parts book (pg. 118A #18), which I had assumed were the shims. Boyd said there was no spec, they didn't use any of them, so they gave them all back to me... Snow and ice hit so didn't get the measurements yet...

    Thank you! They didn't give me any info, just told me there was no spec on it. (That didn't sit well as everything has a spec) I'll get the measurements. And yes just as posdible rhe bucket bosses are worn, but the lined and bored those too... They are picking the machine back up next week...

    A 951C I have, A Clue I Do Not...

    I finally broke down and let CAT do the line boring work, as well as swapping what turned out to be both broken idler springs. Came back from CAT giving me some questions I'm hoping one of you can answer. There is a large amount of space between the pin bosses. I cannot find a spec on what...

    951c Tilt Won't Hold

    It falls a bit slower than I thought take a couple mins to go from full reurn to about flat. Does not hold at all when it is tilted all the way back. It does hold in the other direction. Inset the bucket flat on the ground and tilted it down, dump, until I got the front end off the ground...

    951c Tilt Won't Hold

    951C 86J3065 I'm sure this question has to have been answered a 100 different ways, but have not found quite what I am looking for. Apologies in advance. I just got the unit back from the cat dealer. They rebuilt both tilt and tilt cylinders, the bores did have some scouring, but thought it...

    CAT 951C Year and Bucket Teeth

    Hello all. I'm getting the machine in order, at least partly (in the most painful way possible, but that is an embarrassing admission). Couple of questions. S/N is 86J3065. No one has been able to tell me the year of this unit yet. Dealer can't seem to find it. Guessing a 1976? Dealer...

    Line boring buy it or pay for it? (Or... Walking or tumbling down the rabbit hole?)

    I've also never been able to find the recoil spring guads for this thing. I have the rear half of the left side, but am missing the rest. Any ideas? I had found some at Starr Parts a few years ago and them my tow vehicle broke down (for most of a year) a couple of days before I was going to...
