    Buy a military auction new/old Case mc1150e bulldozer viable? Economics, parts availability and cost, reliability, potential , return on investment?

    I actually did get accustomed to the Case mc1150e after a few hours. The throttle pedal made me a little tired. The double lever forward and backwards made me wonder why there isn't just one forward and one reverse and if I could make a bridge plate adapter and make the linkage be one lever! I...

    320c ANB series replacing back of cab glass with safety zipper gasket

    I feel defeated. Why can't I seem to replace the back of cab window? The original turned milky. I ordered a new glass from ITR. It is real glass. Exactly same dimensions as original. I also ordered a brand new gasket from Caterpillar. Looks just like original but more soft and pliable...

    Fill—Rite Tuthill 15gpm 1200 model. Rebuild the electrical motor. Magnets broke.

    My pump got to where it with or blow the huge fuse between pump and battery. I’d end up using a nail and stand by closely in case something happened. This final time.....it almost melted the nail and luckily I was able to burn my fingers as I yanked the nail out when I saw smoke!! GPI pumps are...

    Caterpillar 268b fuel sending unit or gauge? Not the fuse. Location and tips on replacement?

    Thank you so much for posting this technical info. I assume that the plug is down the sending unit? Tilt the cab back first to access correct? Maybe I have a bad ground or other wiring issue. I have noticed there my cigarette lighter plug quit working. When I check the fuse for the...

    Fill—Rite Tuthill 15gpm 1200 model. Rebuild the electrical motor. Magnets broke.

    Thanks for the post. I see that in that parts kit comes the outer tube or case for the armature etc... it’s very strange that the magnets would not be available yet the magnets glue inside the tube!!!! Thanks so much

    Fill—Rite Tuthill 15gpm 1200 model. Rebuild the electrical motor. Magnets broke.

    I ordered a full-rite pump repair kit for this 15gpm unit. Turns out, the pump side was fine. the armature electrical motor side was corroded, heated up, and the magnets from the case were cracked and broken . So, this is like a lawn mower starter. The magnets are glued in. is there an...

    Caterpillar 268b fuel sending unit or gauge? Not the fuse. Location and tips on replacement?

    I have a caterpillar 268b skid steer. The fuel gauge initially seemed to work and then not work. Now it just stay empty. I checked the fuse. Fuse is good. Gauge lights up for dark. Would this basically indicated a bad sending unit? Machine has 1500 hours plus or minus a few (had to replace...

    Caterpillar 12e clutch removal

    Hi. I have the engine out of my old Cat 12e grader. I am going to scrap it for parts. Part it out. A guy with an old d6 wants the D333 engine. I don't think he probably needs the bellhousing and clutch. Surely an old d6 dozer would use a different clutch and bellhousing? I have removed the...
