Cat 416C. Return to dig switch.

ddiiggy ยท 2014-11-08 10:08

Cat 416C. Serial Number *5YN05###*. The electric switch on the center front bucket linkage has a roller on the end of a lever. When the bucket curls back to 'flat', the roller falls into a detent in a disc and bucket movement quits. My roller is worn off. The switch works , but not properly without the roller. Is there any way to find a parts list without making a trip to the dealer?

    Here is one way to get the numbers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAT-Caterpi...388-1998-/200677951700?_trksid=p2054897.l4275

    Is this it..? #6 in the diagram. Part # is 206-1486, price around $50.

    Wrong book for the OP's machine. The eBay offering is SEBP2388 for Serial Numbers 4ZN1-16000. He needs Parts Manual SEBP2389 for 5YN1-15000 Serial Number range.

    I don't have the clamshell bucket. The switch might be the same.

    Don't get too hung up on the ilustration - it's generic. 206-1486 is the only switch listed for that function, both in the Parts Manual and in the electrical wiring schematic for machines in the Serial Number range 5YN1-15000. If you want 100% confirmation then PM me your exact Serial Number and I'll look it up on that basis, however I'm 99.9% certain the number is right.
