One more question, by reading the manual, i found on the left side of the engine, the tube have been removed and caped on top of the valve, would it be a problem?

thanks. Can not find the filter housing part number that I have, hopefully I will buy the right air filter when I need to change.

Pull the element(s) out and get some Part Nuimbers from them. We can then probably cross-reference them to Cat Part Numbers or "will-fits".

Only if you ever need to lower the lift arms for whatever reason and can''t start the engine.
EDIT: I wonder why it was removed in the first place.? No reason that I can think of off the top of my head.

I have the twin to that machine, the engine is a 3034T. I replaced the engine in mine bought it as a basket case.

Found the number for filter. Suppose have two filters in it？small one inside a bigger one？
Usd 2 buckets of 32 hydraulic oil from walmart to test hydraulic when I first got the machine. so far hydraulic is running Ok except some small leak from control valve. Do I need to drain it to get some new hydraulic oil？

Rather than a P/N in the air filter housing, what was the P/N on the element you removed..?

TBH the inside of that air filter housing doesn’t look like any Cat one I’ve ever seen.

I used a pvc 90 to connect the air filter housing， and all other parts to the engine intake ordered from cat.
Air filter number is 300043023.
when I got the machine，The air filter housing was in cab.

I think that air filter housing is off a reefer engine. It should be OK but my personal choice would be to buy the genuine parts and put it back to original.

 

[norman123]

Thanks for the information. put it back original is already at my list

You might find used parts a bit hard to come by. The most common reason for parting out this type of machine seems to be engine compartment fires. Also a good reason to get yours clean and keep it that way.

heard about grapple bucket welded to quick connect? Any idea to cut it back to normal quick connect?

Yes. Keep it clean. That's what I did a few days ago. Got a pile of dirt /grease/trash Out of it.

Have you been under the cab floor (where the electreonic control lives) yet..?

 

[norman123]

Yes. I got floor panel pulled and changed throttle cable. Got all dirty stuff out under seat and floor. I am double the former owner ever cleaned this a 15+ years old machine.
