Hi All, I'm looking for a root rake for my CAT 314, and it seems I can find lots of root rakes for CAT 312 and CAT 315, -- but none (at least no used ones) for CAT 314 excavaotors. Does anyone know if attachments for any other excavators will fit my CAT 314? -- it has 65mm pins on the quick couple and stick. Thanks in advance, Bob
People are going to want to know whether it is an A, B, C, D or E model machine. There are differences between some if not all of them.
Sorry about that-- I should add, I'm a farmer-- not a professional heavy equipment operator- My machine is a CAT 314C LCR, with the short stick (about 8' 5") and a quick couple. Also it is plumbed for an accessory at the end of the stick-- but I'm only using the mechanical thumb that came with the machine right now. Thanks
I've shared buckets between a 312B and a 314C, both had quick hitch with cat dimensions to fit original buckets. 315 is step up in size, won't fit. If you measure your current bucket, think its 65mm pin, ~221mm between bosses, 407mm pin centres.
Hi John, Thanks for the info-very helpful. I get the pin diameter measurement and the distance between pins-- but what is the "221mm between bosses-- and why does that matter? thanks again, Bob
John, Sorry about that last question-- I just wasn't thinking== you are spot on with all 3 dimensions. Does anyone else know of other models of CAT that have buckets/attachments that will fit the quick couple on a 314C/ Thanks in advance. Bob
Bob, I went and bumped up a thread you can look at called "pin-on bucket mounting specs" by Stumpwally (now somewhere near top of excavator forum), page 4 post 60 gives pdf link to what you're asking. Looks like 311, 312, 313 and your 314 all share buckets. John
Thanks John! This is exactly what I've been looking for! This will broaden the available root rakes I can look at. --Much appreciated! Bob
