    New to me 2008 Cat 287C- warning/ beeping when moving

    Thanks- I am not to upset about it. I would have bought it either way.

    New to me 2008 Cat 287C- warning/ beeping when moving

    Hello all. I recently purchased a Cat 287C for home/ camp personal use. It has a flashing light and beeps only when moving. I am guessing it is a speed sensor. I want to fix this 1st then get into some of the smaller stuff like pins/ bushings and maintenance. I do not have the optional screen...
