    CAT 320C burst hose and fire

    The one I had was dry powder. The two I just picked up are also dry powder. I like CO2 but I don't even know how to get those. Is there a preference as far as you're concerned? Do I need to be concerned about the powder that they put out? Are they caustic when mixed with water? I plan to get...

    CAT 320C burst hose and fire

    Thanks. I was hoping for some feedback on mounting location ideas. On that door might be a good idea. It would swing right out and be available. Near the hinges should put less stress on the hinge than out near the latch. When I get to that mounting point I may holler back at you guys to see...

    CAT 320C burst hose and fire

    10.4 on having a fire extinguisher. I'm pretty sure it would have completely burned up if I had not jumped on that fire. I'm going into Lowe's on the way back to the pond and pick up two fire extinguishers. I will put one back in the compartment at the stairs, and mount another one in the...

    330c swing drift

    You seem to be describing EXACTLY what my CAT 320CL was doing when we first got it...I thought I had a slew motor problem. The switch Nige just posted was the problem...I never noticed it until folks here made me take notice. See this thread...

    CAT 320 CL AC error message 43

    Thanks, again, Lachau. I took the covers off the AC system (behind the seat), cleaned it all best I could and sprayed servo linkages with WD40 to free them up. They were not moving well. There seem to be 3 "modes" for the airflow...defrost, blow mid-level or blow at feet...a mix of these 3...

    Bobcat e20 blade dropping

    This may not apoply to your Bobcat. My Takeuchi 370B has a blade with a "float" function. When "float" is engaged the blade will not stay up...it floats with the contour of the land being traversed. When "float" is not selected, the blade stays where you put it. Maybe you unknowingly hit a...
