    CAT 416c tach & hour meter

    Looks like one of the diodes is bad. All were in the .5 range except one. Anybody know where to get this part other than CAT? Yes, I have searched the web with the part number ;)

    CAT 416c tach & hour meter

    so I got the rectifier (top part in pic) and regulator off (bottom part in pic). Is there a way to check to see which one is bad? The connector that goes to the tach and hour meter plugs into the regulator. I can't find the rectifier anywhere online except for CAT, about $120. Haven't searched...

    CAT 416c tach & hour meter

    The yellow wire that runs straight to the hour meter and tach has nothing on it. I checked right at the connector on the alternator and nothing, even when reving up the engine. You say a bad diode trio? Where is that and is it replaceable or do I need a new alternator? Thanks

    CAT 416c tach & hour meter

    Thanks for the schematic. After a simple trace, the single wire has good continuity to both the tach and hour meter. It's one wire from the alternator that splits into a Y under instrument panel that then goes to tach and hour meter. What type of signal is coming from the alt? Is there some...

    CAT 416c tach & hour meter

    I have checked continuity to tach from alt and its good. If there is supposed to be some other type of signal, let me know how to check it please.

    CAT 416c tach & hour meter

    I have the parts manual but not any schematics, so yes I would love one. Any advice on where to start since the simple check of continuity checks out?

    CAT 416c tach & hour meter

    Hey, my tach and hour meter stopped working suddenly. I checked continuity from tach and hour meter to alternator and its good. Power and ground is good. Serial # 4ZN02115. What am I missing? Also, what year is this 416c? Thanks in advance

    Cat 416C Brake Locking Up

    Would that cause one side to gradually get tighter without pressing brakes until it locks up and then release after a few hours of sitting still? I can’t imagine this having anything to do with this issue but thanks for replying

    Cat 416C Brake Locking Up

    you ever figure out the issue? My 416c does the same thing. Usually happens about 15 min or so after using it. Starts getting tighter and tighter till locks up. I’ll leave it overnight then works fine until a little more use. I only use mine around the house also but really would like to get it...

    Cat 416C Brake Locking Up

    Did you guys figure out the issue causing this? I have a 416c that has started doing this on the right rear. I can leave it alone for a while and when I come back it has released and works fine till it decides to do it again. I’ve changed the diff fluid and it looked fine

    Weak front buck tilt and clam shell

    How about the o rings that are accessed by removing the right rear tire? I’ve never checked them. Would they cause this issue?

    Weak front buck tilt and clam shell

    My cat 416c front bucket clamshell/4in1/jaw or whatever it’s called, used to be real strong but has lately become real weak so I replaced the two resolver seals but no better. Now my front bucket tilt (both ways) has become super weak and won’t tilt at all unless I wiggle/use the clam lever at...

    cat 416c front bucket tilt

    Another problem has appeared. After machine warms up, the front bucket won't hardly tilt/curl up empty or loaded. Sometimes it will, but real slow, other times I have to drop bucket down and back up to get it started and then it may or may not curl up. Working other hyd at same time has no...

    cat 416c 4x4 steering rod removal

    Yay, I got it done, mostly. The inner compression ring is on the snap ring side. I used a pvc pipe big enough to go over the rod on the snap ring side and knocked the gland in a couple inches to expose the ring. Picked it out and then moved over to the spanner nut side and then used a wood...

    Is the internal ring on the spanner nut or snap ring side?

    cat 416c 4x4 steering rod removal

    I saw in another thread/post that there is also an internal snap ring on the snap ring side. Is that correct and if so, where in the world is it? I don't see it nor can I figure out where it would be or how to get to it
