    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    I can’t remember right off hand. Sounds like that was in range for cranking.

    CAT 299D Fuel leakage code...

    I acquired the CAT ET software and ran the diagnostics. It showed low cranking fuel pressure. I made sure fuel was getting to the HP pump by cleaning fuel tank, changing all filters and installing a new priming pump and filter. That narrowed it down until I had high confidence it was the HP...

    CAT 299D3 cranks but no start

    Once I got my fuel system cleaned out I run only fuel that I pump into dedicated containers. I drain my fuel filter EVERY time I use the machine. I keep the fuel tank topped off. I treat my fuel with Clear Diesel. I clean the filter ahead of the lift pump every 8 hours. After replacing an HP...

    CAT 299D3 cranks but no start

    When, not if, you get it running my suggestion would be to start at the tank and clean/replace everything between tank outlet and HP pump. I have gone through this. Unbelievable how much trash ends up in the fuel. Good luck.

    2021 cat 299d3 idle issues

    I started to buy 2-3 when I bought mine but really didn’t think I would use them. I am going to install in the pump I took off and put it back on my machine.

    299D2 not used through winter

    Everywhere I turn I read more horror stories about DEF system failure. My understanding is that this 2018 299D2 purges the DEF lines when engine is shut down. Is there anything else I should do across 3 months of non use? Kind of related topic. Any news or observations about relaxing regs on...

    299d2 losing coolant

    Got a chance to dig in today. Raised the cab and found the leak. One of the fittings to what am assuming is a well heater for the DEF reservoir had popped off. Kind of a lightweight arrangement at best. The entire sending unit arrangement was also loose. I pushed the fitting for the coolant back...

    299d2 losing coolant

    Haven’t popped the cab yet but I am losing significant amounts of coolant. No blown head gasket. Nothing in the oil. I suspect something in lines to and from heater. Before I dive in just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue? Fittings? Hoses? No real puddle under it so I suspect...

    Hyd. Steering cylinder leak

    My Farmtrac 60 steering cylinder is leaking. I have rebuilt it once before. It was leaking at the rod end at that time. This issue is on the barrel at the opposite end. There is a small vent and it is puking fluid. I have a rebuild kit but was just trying to visualize why there would be a vent...
