cat 262 skid steer project Coolant drainage plug

[norman123]

Hi, Everyone, got a cat 262 skid steer, trying to drain the coolant from system. but can not find the drainage plug, any idea about it? I am sure it is cat 3304 engine.

Also seems the air filter housing is not the original one. But I put Some pvc fitting to put it together. Will it be a problem？

When in doubt, pull the lower hose off the water pump, you'll get most of it. I would replace the other hose, it looks a bit ragged.

Air filter setup is probably fine as long as there are no places air can leak into the connections.

It won’t be a 3304. It could be a cat 3.4 depending on serial number.

The radiator doesn't have a drain plug. The coolant drain is on the side of the block. You will see a small valve with a black hose, or not. The hose might be gone. The valve might be gone, too. Might just have a pipe plug.

Thanks Lantraxco and Coaldust. Got coolant out from lower hose of water pump and refilled. Running good now.

Oneside of water pump i found a plug with bare wire， what is that for？kind of heater or tempresure sensor？

 

[Coaldust]

Not 100% sure. Obviously it must be the engine temperature sending unit. Does the temp gauge work?

Negative. Attched is the Left and right side control panels. parking and seat belt light work good. Never see light on others. Fuel guage is Working for sure.

Norman123,

Must be for the engine temperature indicator lamp. Does the engine temperature indicator light come on when all the other lights do, during the self test when the key is first turned on?

Nevertheless, I bet if you dig around, you will find the other end of the broken wiring harness.

Norman, maybe your best investment in this project would be an Operation & Maintenance Manual.
Post a Serial Number and I can walk you through the process to download one from Cat. It will be priced around $50.

 

[norman123]

I bought both parts manual and sevice manual. Got lots of help for what I want but still have some problems to find some answers. Like can not get info for coolant drainage. But will dig into the manual to find answers. Thanks

Does your serivce manual have electrical and hydraulic schematics included.?
If it is genuine, in paper form, & complete it should also have an O&M Manual that I mentioned above as one of the sections. In view of your question about draining coolant I'm assuming that it doesn't because the O&MM has the procedure - copy attached.

Looks like I dont have the right manual. LOL.
PDF CATERPILLAR 262 SKID STEER LOADER SERVICE REPAIR MANUAL CED.pdf is what I got. Guess I need to go ahead to get the O&MM manual.
Thank, that help me a lot.

Got a Serial Number, or are the last 8 digits of your S/N CEDxxxxx..? If yes, you are looking for SEBU7468. It costs $49 to download a genuine pdf of that manual from Cat.

Do you have the schematics I asked about above..?

The link is a genuine Service Manual for your machine. RENR4830 is the publication reference number. The same thing is available on CD for $365.

For an O&MM, go to - https://catpublications.com/
When the popup appears click on "Continue as Guest"
Type SEBU7468 in the box and click search. You should see the illustration below. Paper or CD versions will attract S&H charges on top of the price.

It looks to me like your air filter is out of a D series. This is what it should look like.
If you have no air leaks, I don't see why your setup won't work OK.
