Hi Again, I'm back unfortunately. Thanks to everyone that helped with my last post.
I recently took my machine to Cat to have them inspect everything and give me a list of things that need to be done (I purchased the machine used). There was a long list of things and I don't have the $ to do them all right away. But I need to start using this machine right away.
I'm hoping someone can tell me how important each one is, and if I can do any of this myself? I'm no mechanic, but maybe some of it isn't that complicated if I have the parts?
1) replace shuttle Valve
2) replace pilot control valve
3) replace throttle/accel linkage
4) repair loader frame (replace worn loader frame pins and bearing at coupler. Weld, bore and machine loader frame)
5) Replace glow plug switch
6) recommended a pm-4 service
Your help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks again
