    I'm now working on replacing all the rollers, and not to far down the road the track pins and bushings. I'm looking at importing them myself just to see how it all goes, and maybe even save a dollar or two. If anyone has some free advise to give i'll read it. In the meantime I've been dreaming...

    Yes, that has been my experience also. If you talk to the right parts guy, suddenly parts are not hard to find at all... other guys, not so much.

    Yes you are right thanks. I bought the repair manual (CAT E120 1LF) for this machine and have been reading over it and learning tons about the operation, design, and everything I've done wrong so far. Cheers Van

    Hello, I desperately need two things. 1. Help identifying the track and carrier rollers on my machine. I can't even identify what the possibilities for this machine are. I searched the body of the rollers and can't find a number or even manufacturer stamp. I tried contacting a bunch of...

    Replaced the teeth.. maybe someone here could explain this to me, why do so many people ruin the adapters on a good bucket by not changing out the worn teeth. Seems digging would get kinda hard after a while, plus what the hell?

    Well.... I finally got around to getting some work done on this thing. I did rebuild the water pump and fixed a few of the small things. Then I tackled the hydraulics. It took some effort to break these guys loose.
