Just received a new/old parts manual for a Cat D4D 83J and it does not contain any of the hydraulics? Anyone know why or where i can get this? HR
For machines of that vintage the Hydraulic Control (as it was called) was an attachment and had its own parts manual. I'm not sure what the type number of the hydraulic control that is installed on that machine but if you look on the side of the hydraulic tank there ought to be a plate titled Cat xxx Hydraulic Control along with a Serial Number. That ought to give you a guide.
Thanks for the info. Hollyrock
Well this is not a very clear picture but shows one place to look for the tag. This was out of the D4D operators manual on SIS. Appears to be on front side of the tank off to the right side of machine. Tag should show the Model as maybe 141 or 143 and then the S/N probably two digits followed by a letter then four of five more digits. Once you find the numbers maybe check out this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Caterpillar-CAT-141-143-161-181-191-Hydraulic-Control-Parts-Catalog-Manual-/361199608507 Don't know anything about the person posting it but from the cover it looks like it covers a few different Hydraulic Contorls, just make sure your's is on of the ones listed. Maybe do some more searching on Ebay as it looks like a few different ones there!
right on thank, Hollyrock
