Hello guys, This looks to be a good and informative forum. With that said, I have a pretty broad question. A friend of mine has a cat 312 track hoe and he said he has been having problems with the auto throttle system. Well and also it was not shutting off. But I fixed that problem with a new shut off solenoid. And while I fixed the latter problem, that's when he asked me about the auto throttle. I didn't have time to look at it that day. But I said I would later. So, my question is does anyone have a schematic of the wiring for the controller, switches, etc for the system? I was wanting to educate myself before going back out there. Btw, I am an electrician by trade. So I understand wiring etc. But on any equipment, it's a battle sometimes to track down wires and the understanding of how it works normally. Oh and just a bit of info on it. It will run just fine in the manual/back up mode. So I guess the little servo motor and wiring is fine. Any info would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

I'll make the same comment that has been made over and over again when asked for information ......... WHAT'S THE F*****G SERIAL NUMBER ....??
With that titbit of information I can find the schematic you're looking for in about 10 seconds......I can also probably track down some info on how the auto throttle is supposed to work
To give you an idea there are no less than 53 different models of 312 listed in the system. A full Serial Number, or even the 3-character prefix, will help to narrow the odds down a bit.

I'll echo Nige here, the serial number is so important to have. I tell my customers it's like going into the Ford dealer and saying you need parts for a blue Ford...

Nige obviously got up on the wrong side of the ocean today.
