    Grapple Bucket pops off 2013 299D

    5 months ago my grapple bucket was coming off. I took the rosebud to the bottom of the bucket and heated/hammered back to square. It hasn't come off until today. The work I did looks good. When I have the bucket tilted slightly down and push down on the front it pops right off the quick...

    299D No regen

    2013 CAT0299DLGTC00836 It started giving me the E1239-2 code (DPF #1 Conditions not met for Active regeneration). I parked it, put the parking brake on, made sure hydraulics were locked out and low idle. Left it for 20 minutes and came back. Now I am getting E1239-3. My question is what...

    Cat299D Right Joystick Problem

    2013 CAT0299DLGTC00836 I have a 2475-3 code. The bucket tilts up and down but won't raise or lower. If you try to pull back on the right joystick it makes a clunk sound and then won't do anything. If you shut the machine off and turn back on you can tilt it up and down but as soon as you pull...

    299D Hydraulic Connections for Tilt

    CAT0299DLGTC00836 I had to remove the hydraulic lines for the bucket tilt and didn't take good enough pictures. I cannot remember where the flow and return lines hook up to the manifold. Does anyone know?

    299D No Auxiliary Hydraulics

    CAT0299DLGTC00836 I have been running a CAT T9 trencher for a week with no problems. Today when I installed it back on the machine the trencher wouldn't turn. Sometimes it would turn it a quarter turn and just stop. I read there is an implement solenoid to check but I don't know where it is...

    Land Leveler

    Thinking about getting a land leveler for my 299D. Hydraulic scarifier teeth seem to be a necessity, but do these actually work? I have about 30 acres surrounding ponds I built that needs to be smoothed out. I'm tired of using my bucket. It works but it takes forever. The CL Fab one looks good.

    Sheared bolts on bore plate?

    CAT0299DLGTC00836 I went to grease up today and noticed the plate over the "bore?" (that's what the manual calls it) was missing. The grease zerts were sheared off and the bolts are broken off an inch inside the frame. Any suggestions?

    299D Track Roller Install

    CAT 299D. I am replacing the track rollers and one rear idler. When I removed them I noticed some had spacing washers attached through the bolt on the inside of the frame. What is the criteria for using the washers? The manual says something about +- 1, but 1 what?

    CAT 299D won't move

    I have a 2016 299D. It starts up fine and all the hydraulics work. I can move about 6 inches and then the parking light comes on and it won't move anymore. If I restart it, the same thing happens. Any ideas? It would be nice to be able to put it onto the trailer to haul to the dealer and...
