Have you ever experienced a final drive that won’t accept the entire volume of gear oil specified by the manufacturer? I have a 259 that has one final drive that will overflow at about 5/8 -3/4 of a quart despite being completely drained.
@@rossh1152 i can’t answer that but I was a tech at a cat dealer for 6 years I changed a lot of final drive oil and I never had one take more than a little more than half a bottle. Cat says .6 quarts per side. I usually just put .5 quarts in each side so I didn’t have to charge the customer for 2 bottles of oil
The access plate is way to small to get to the drain plug,,,,,,cat needs the owner operator at the plant to show what we need ,,,,,,not the collage boys fresh out of school first job,,,,,,R and D at caterpillar😁
My sister's father-in-law pulled into the yard and said he had an oil leak after changing his oil. I pulled off the oil filter and found two sealing gaskets. Removed one and put the filter back on and the leak went away.
What I was told by my dealer all cats skid steer have the same engines they are just tuned differently I could be wrong but this was the info told by my dealer
Just curious if you know off the top of your head if the first 250 hour maintenance on a 2019 T595 requires a final drive oil change. That’s crazy that oil looks so dark after 500 hours. Are there clutches in there? Parking brake?
Great video as always. 2 questions, my e42r2 says 750 hours for oil change. That just seems way too long. Would you recommend sooner? Also mine didn’t come with a rear camera but I would like one. Is the wiring already there? Can I just buy the camera and cable and put it in? If so do you know the part number?
@@Zerokey789750hrs is insane for a little 2.4L engine that holds just 2.5 gallons of oil. 750hrs is approaching the interval used in big 15L engines in road tractors and big heavy equipment that holds 10 gallons of oil or more. I personally still think 500 is excessive in these small engines. I think 750hrs is prescribed based on the 2000hr warranty period which is all Bobcat cares about. If you only keep your machine 2000hrs then 750 is fine. 99% chance it makes it there. But if you bought used and want it to last longer, or you still sell it by 2000 but want to help the next owner out, do it at half that. 350, or 500 max. The EGR system is not conducive to long oil change intervals.
