cat 287b electrical system dead? This has happened before. I pushed the machine about 6 in, that fixed it. Don't have any idea what is going on!! thanks DM
Your post is extremely vague but first thing I would suggest is to remove, clean, and reinstall all the ground connections, including the one between the cab and the machine frame. If you want more help post a clearer description of what is happening with the machine and what led up to it.
Nige, thanks for the reply, I just got the machine a few weeks ago. I don't know what to say about the problem I'm having. I will try looking at the ground connections.
Dennis, Start with a Serial Number. It's always good to know exactly what you have and on top of that I have a feeling that you may be in need of an electrical schematic to go tracing power. Has it had the problem (intermittent by the sounds of it) ever since you bought it.? Remember you're there with it, no one else is. How about something like "It can be working fine then suddenly out of the blue the engine stops" or "I can be using it one day with no problems then come to it the next and when I turn the key on the warning lights don't light up and everything is dead".
