Would anyone know if the brush screens on the G series Cat interchange between cab and open station machines? The dealer doesn't seem to know and new ones are too pricey. Thanks
I'm surprised that the dealer couldn't figure it out unless they were too lazy to try. Brush screen for a machine with an open ROPS cab is 184-1621 (rear) & 184-1623 (sides). Officially there is no front brush guard for an open ROPS as there is nothing to fix it to although I'm sure anyone ingenious with a welding machine could knock something up. For a machine with a cab the numbers are 190-1220 (rear) 190-1190 (sides), & 190-1195 (front). Above numbers are for any machine of WGB, RKG, FDH, & FDW prefix. From what I can see even down to the level of individual guards the numbers are different.
Thanks Nige, I have a rear screen but would like the side window screens but they are $800 each so I will have to make my own. I found a complete set of screens including door and front window which had been through a fire but it was for the open station D5.
Dave, All I'm saying is that the screens for the 2 types are not a DIRECT replacement. Not having seen them it's difficult to say if one could be adapted to fit the other, i.e. cab to open ROPS or vice versa. I get the impression looking at the Parts Manual that the ones for an open ROPS are shorter front-to-rear than the ones for a cab, because the cab ones have to wrap round the door hinge area. Although it could be nothing more than the relative scale of the 2 drawings. PM me with an e-mail address if you want the parts lists.
