    Can anyone identify this drill?

    I bought this thing a couple years ago knowing the sonic head was not working right. That being said I am now trying to find parts and it's very hard without knowing who made this thing. The side of the drill head has model 500248 stamped in it but I can't find anything else on this thing.

    Cat 365C MSC0493 problem lagging

    Cat 365C MSC0493 problem lagging

    The machine also sat for two years before we bought it last year. It ran really good for a couple months before it started acting up. It definitely could have loosened some rust in the tank.

    Yes it sits all winter in interior Alaska the power hunting issue started last fall. Yes pressure readings are KPA not PSI. I haven't changed fuel filters yet I'll do them and air filter and see what happens sounds logical to me.

    The speed sensor code cleared up on its own, now I have a code for system Pressure solenoid. I can find it on the electrical schematic but I can't find it in the machine, and no where in the books other than the troubleshooting section for it. Is there possibly another name for this.

    Cat 365C MSC0493 problem lagging

    Hi guys having trouble figuring out an issue with my 365C. When it's booming up with a full bucket and swinging it's losing rpm and pump pressure then it will run back up and drop again until it gets moving. Dropping to 1600 rpm then back to 1800 repeatedly also from 30,000 to 20,000 psi on both...

    D8N final drive removal

    Got it changed it was alot easier than I thought it was going to be. I made an adjustable lifting bracket worked that worked pretty good. Looks like all the extra stuff the manual says to take off is if your pulling all the internals as well.
