    What oil for D4H around track tensioner

    We just replaced track tensioner seals on our D4H series II. The housing around the tensioner was filled with oil, what oil does CAT call for? It's not gear oil, maybe 50 or 30?

    You sent me engine removal and install instructions for my D4H a while back. I ran it the other day and remembered I forgot to thank you. New injectors, turbo, bearings, upgraded pistons, runs great. :)

    Michigan Excavation Licensing

    I'm doing more dirt work these days and might have a big job for a property managment company as soon as it thaws up. I'm thinking I should get properly licensed to excavate with the larger risk exposure. Michigan guys, where and how do I get right with LARA before a lawsuit comes knocking?
