    Cat had a ton of problems with the hand controll's for a few years. but, are you saying that even the bucket and boom controll quite? Does your machine have a cab on it?? Pj

    The bucket stopped first and everything else worked, now nothing on the right hand controller works,Machine has 6000hrs and there are slight leaks from that controller so hopefully this sorts the whole lot out! Thanks Case

    does the machine have or had a cab on it? Pj

    Got it fixed was the right hand computer had got wet thru to much junk,Should have cleaned it out when i brought it.

    Be aware that cat will supply a non programmed computer,You then have to take the machine to them to plug in,I avoided this by getting computer from a wrecker.
