Cat 225 manual

[j.urian]

Hi

Just picked up a Cat 225 with a 3304DI engine. Looking to see if anyone has a PDF service manual for it? Serial number 76U3447.

Much appreciated just trying to go through and freshen up all fluids and filters and figure out why the swing break seems to be not working

My email is jjurianconstruction@yahoo.com

Maybe the attached file will help on the swing brake, seems to be a rather simple mechanical drum brake worked by a hand lever like an old time emergency brake. If shoes and drum are good and not oil soaked and cable and lever with adjuster are good it should work. Also including the adjustment procedure although it is pretty simple, "tighten knob and test".

Thank you!

It's not likely a used manual will be available in pdf format. That machine dates from the paper book era.
The Cat Publication reference is REG01578.
These guys have them in both papaer and CD format. https://www.servicemanualpro.com/?page=Products&searchbox=76U03447

I had a 225 years ago and still have the books for it, but if memory serves me it was s/n 51U1065.

I believe the 51u had the v8 motor.

I’m struggling to find the right air filter. I took out an inner fleetguard af338. Napa crosses to the same structure filter with a welded on studded flange. I believe the cat number is 2s1286 which crosses to the same Napa number with a studded flange at the end of the filter. Does anyone have the right numbers?

 

[kshansen]

Well best I can tell the original inner filter was the 2S1286. That said there were change over parts that used a different filter with a soft rubber ring that fit over an adapter that bolted in to replace the original inner air filter. I'll do some checking on that but for now I'm attaching the original break down for the filter assembly.

kshansen,

you're absolutely right! I just got off the phone with Milton CAT in Massachusetts and the parts rep. Craig told me of the ring upgrade kit which is why ive been having trouble sourcing a filter without the studs

original numbers:
2sw1286
7w5317
upgraded:
6I 2501
6I 2502

hope this helps everyone

Not sure why but for a few hours this morning I lost access to NPR on SIS. Now that it's back I can pass along some more information on the new filter se up "New Radial Seal Air Filter Elements"

What do you recommend for fluid in the pump and final drives? Cat said To-4. Wondering if there’s a generic for this

Just do a search for your favorite brand and in clude TO-4 in it and it should come up with something, like this for Mobil:

Or just Google "TO-4"

And here is the instructions on the "Installation of the Radial Seal Air Filters"

TO-4 is an industry spec, not a Cat spec.
The Cat guys should have referred you to TDTO (Transmission & Drive Train Oil) if they were talking about their own product. TDTO meets TO-4 spec.

Actually TO-4 is a Cat spec for transmission oil in Cat machines.
Any oil that meets Cat TO-4 spec will work.
