    Moving non-running 333D

    I have thought about making skis to put under the tracks in case it has to be winched out of the woods. Think this would work or just a waste to time (and lumber)?

    Cat 257B3 throttle cable to Inj pump coming loose

    Problem solved... Circlip was not properly seated in the groove on the cable. Now that it is, it is secure and does not pop out of the bracket. Machine even runs a little faster now that it is properly installed.

    Cat 257B3 throttle cable to Inj pump coming loose

    Thanks Nige - much appreciated. The ring I have isn't flat like the Cat part. I have some on order but will futz around with the ring I have not to see if it can be seated correctly.

    Cat 257B3 throttle cable to Inj pump coming loose

    The link above has the cable very similar to what I have. There are no nuts at the bracket. The end with the spring is at the pump. The way I have it assembled is the bracket on the machine is between the gold washer and the circlip, not sure if this is correct, seems to be. The problem I...

    Cat 257B3 throttle cable to Inj pump coming loose

    Thank you Nige for pointing that out. Yes it could very well have been done incorrectly as part of the deal was to put in a new cable before it was sold. I will go check the cable nuts to see if they are tight, although if I recall correctly there was a retainer clip that if spun in a certain...

    Homestead Machine Recommendations Needed

    Homestead Machine Recommendations Needed

    This is a great thread to read... thanks for all of the insights. I am just a few hours away in Minnesota, just down I35 near Pine City and (was) also in almost the same situation as the OP although I don't really have inclines to deal with... I do have substantial low areas that are frequently...
