Hello , I don’t know this issue has been addressed . My husband bought an old skid steer In hard shape. He thinks he needs an idler replaced and he want to replace the tracks . We down loaded a manual that I found online and doesn’t explain either activities . My question is where can I get a manual that explains repairs like we need.
First the correct manual has to be identified. That needs the machine Serial Number.
Thank you for the reply ! Serial number is CAT287BVZSA01741.
The appropriate Service Manual for that Serial Number is Caterpilar Publication reference RENR4880. None of the sellers of g enuine manuals make them available for download from the internet. They are available either in paper form (all 15 pounds of it @ $760) or as pdf files on a CD ($540). Numbers in parentheses are new prices. You may find used versions available cheaper online.
Thank you
