    Cat 297D service monitor

    I changed my engine oil in my 297D loader and I can't get the service due too reset. I've tried the owners manual way and it shuts the monitor off while holding the far right button. I watched a YouTube video and it shows the same way I'm doing it. One video shows you need to be on the...

    Trk coupler

    I'm thinking of a manual coupler for a 315cat excavator. Really didn't want to spend the money for a hydraulic one as I'm not in love with the excavator and would like to update at some point. I don't want to buy a junk one so I thought I'd ask if these are good or is there a style to stay...

    I've got a 01 D7R that the gauge doesn't read when it's 3/4 full or more. Tried to change it out quick this morning but no go as it won't come up out of there. Do you have to lift the cab some or pull the tank out some?

    Places to get 315 cat muffler

    I need a muffler for my cat 315L excavator. I really didn't want to spend the $400 something for the cat one. Is there a cheaper aftermarket one that I can't find? I looked on eBay but didn't see the style I need.

    Cat bucket teeth

    My bucket teeth are coming loose every 20-30 hours. New pins and retainers, can I weld something on the retainer end to stop this or is the problem solved another way? I'm running the large cat spade teeth for rocks in dirt and ripping concrete up. I like them for more of a smoother finish.

    Best place to rebuild excavator hydraulic pump

    Where's the best place to have our get a main hydraulic pump rebuilt for a cat 315L. It works fine but it's leaking all over the pump itself. So far I've found $5500 from several places and $5200 from cat which surprised me. I had thought about trading machines but not sold on that yet.

    955k won't move

    I was using my 955 k today and a puff of smoke came out the fan and it quite moving. It's 102 out today and it was way too hot out to start investigating. If you speed the motor up past idle you can hear a squealing noise and smell of burning rubber. Looks like the fan and water pump belts...

    955k reverse

    I've got a 955k that I've had for 7 years or so and dad's been running it and says it slips or something in reverse. He plays with the gear shift and away it goes. I parked it for now, is there an adjustment or linkage that gives a problem?

    Deere vs cat wheel loader

    Getting to demo 544k loader against my 928g tomorrow. Sales man biggest selling point is dif lock. I bucked into a sand pile real quick and wasn't impressed as I couldn't lift a bucket full while pushing against it like the 10,000 hr cat. Anyone else run the same demo or run a deere?

    Got to play with my d7r yesterday

    Repaired some terraces, filled a washout and straightened a waterway yesterday. It's got more power then my old d7e military cat. Old one everything was first gear rolling dirt and second to feather it out. This monster boils dirt in second and likes it. I did like the cab with AC and heat...

    Con equip parts problem

    Has anyone had any problems getting parts from Con equip parts in New York? It's been 3 weeks since I paid for the parts with my credit card and out of a $1650 bill I've only received maybe $150 worth of it. I've been trying to give the benefit of doubt but I don't like this so far.
