    Cat 977 Mayday (Blueox/Nige-help please!)

    Thanks for all the help sir, much appreciated. I’m thinking along the same lines. I plan to jerk the covers over the weekend and hope to see both adjustment bolts intact. Looking good so far, we got the trans stripped down to the drums today and everything looks good except the transfer gear...

    Nailed it Nige!! I can definitively say that’s it. Now I just need to determine where the other 4 inches is and if it’s been riding in there a while, or the root cause of the current tragedy. Thanks all, you’ve been a huge help!

    Does anyone recognize this bolt as being from the internals of a 3s2706 transmission or otherwise? 7/8” NCT with a 7/8” head. Thanks!

    New HE Owner - 1991 CAT 963 21Z

    Welcome to the forum, it’s certainly a great tool in the arsenal. Good luck with your projects! For the HVAC system it sounds like you need to start with the blower motor. Does it run at any speed? Voltage/current present if not?

    Cat 963 Question

    Can anyone tell me what model Cat 963 was the first counter-rotating track model? I’m assuming any pedal steer model is not?

    Cat 977 Mayday (Blueox/Nige-help please!)

    Thanks so much, sorry I got side tracked for a few days. The 2-110 manual did not go into that detail, but at a glance this looks to be exactly what I need you if I rip into that machine.

    Cat 977 Mayday (Blueox/Nige-help please!)

    I’m thinking seriously about pulling the transmission and purchasing a refurb or repairing myself, however the service manual I posted didn’t include an overhaul manual for the 3S2706 transmission, just a generic diagram of all the different range components. Does anyone have info on the...

    Are you doing only the torque converter, or the range assembly as well?

    Thanks much, Nige was kind enough to give me a heads up too. That’s something I certainly may have done.
