    Cat 330 GC Feed back

    We bought the 330 , they had 4 in a row, 1 GC and 3 reg 330s that had all the extras on it. The GC sat lower, tracks didn't look as tall and they looked a little shorter. Its a lighter duty machine when u look at the 2 SxS..We also bought a 323. That looks more like the 330gc, which i think the...

    Caterpillar 268b no crank after bad fuel pump and or filter. Now power to engine start relay with switch turn. Can jumper wire at relay.

    We had a 287c i think it was, and it would blow a fuse when we'd get a heavy rain and it wouldn't crank and it wouldn't run the fuel pump. I can't remember exactly what the cause was but for some reason I think the fuel cut off selonid was going bad and that's what was causing it to blow the...

    Brake issues on trailer

    Make sure valve at back of trailer didn't spiders nest, bees, mud wasps from hoses when u hooked up to the truck and aired it up. Seems everytime our tag hung brakes up it was the valve at rear of trailer full of junk. Cleaned out and everything worked good, till it sat for a month or 2...

    CAT 403F IT RGS00497

    Oh I know, but sometimes it'll sit for a yr in the shop lot. I have a loader that sat on the job for almost a yr now because of project changes, it has probably 150hr on oil. Im gonna sample it just to see what it come back as. It will be something to show boss also since he doesn't understand...

    CAT 403F IT RGS00497

    Last summer they were using it on a job and that's when I found the breather pipe that goes to CCV filter housing was rubbed thru by wiring harness, who knows how long it was rubbed thru? I really dont think dirt/dust would get into engine since its blowing CC pressure out that hose to CCV...

    CAT 403F IT RGS00497

    Depends if we have a 5th job going on then it gets used as a loader since we onlyhave 4 loaders.. And usually will get the hrs on it where it gets changed sooner. Our JD backhoe samething sits 75% of time at shop. 2012 and it only has 3k hr

    CAT 403F IT RGS00497

    Yes more samples should've happened, but they didn't. Sometimes u think when machine is giving no issues and when taking samples on other equipment that shows everything is well we kinda let it go. Important lesson here, should atleast engine sample every oil change or atleast every other if u...

    JD 50D JAO275246

    Idk how it dies, its always running when I'm there. It shut off on them once or twice in last couple weeks, but as soon as it does they open rear hood and it fires right back up and they run it rest of day. At this point I'm waiting for something to fail or when it gets warmer out to pinpoint...

    CAT 403F IT RGS00497

    Oil sample came back ok. Iron was kinda high, it was at 60ppm but wasn't flagged. Pretty sure i found where leak is coming from. Seems like there is a lot of crankcase psi, there is a blow off valve on back side of CCV canister that whistles when u rev it up. If I block blow by tube with my...

    JD 50D JAO275246

    Something still getting warm under rear hood and making it stall out. Open rear hood and it runs all day no issues. Idk if fuel pump is getting hot and it stops working, but it fires up once u open hood and runs rest of day. I did change fuel pump back in 2020, 7700hr, it has 11k hr now ...

    CAT 403F IT RGS00497

    I had something else to do last couple days. Monday I'm going to put back together and run it to see where the leak is coming from. Im almost wondering if it was blowing out of the pipe on backside of ccv because it was so full? I will check lower boot. Yes oil out of turbo, but nothing in the...

    CAT 403F IT RGS00497

    It was really oily on this side of intake where that banjo bolt is, I cleaned it off. The plastic breather hose that runs thru that area is not worn through. I replaced it 1k hr ago from being worn thru from rubbing that line that has banjo bolt. Seems like a little to much oil in cac pipe for...
