Re: 990 cat loader (Earl Shiebbed)
Really Steve? Running without a filtration system? the 990 is a tough machine but, not that tough
How long did it run before big trouble? Scale it up and probably as long as the real thing would last with no filters Thanks for posting pics from the meet...by the way....looks like I need to send ya a new CAT hat for Xmas. Mario |

Re: 990 cat loader (Earl Shiebbed)
well it turns out the valves are the culprit I knew it would happen steel wearing on aluminum with piss poor tolerances . at least the filter will catch the particles till I get my valves finished . I also turned the pump around so the belt is at the back of the machine as opposed to between the main motor and pump motor . should be easier to change the belt now . No , no maple leaf on our hats here .

Re: 990 cat loader (Earl Shiebbed)
Glad to hear she's back up and running. You must have brought it to a CAT dealer to get such a quick repair time

Re: 990 cat loader
I was in the possible future 1300 SQ ft quarry cleaning up broken block this morning . I'm getting ready to build a rather large dbl fireplace with bread oven base . When we built the house in 97 we went with a craw space doo to not quite enough green and were not gonna live with in-laws what-so-ever . So the shop was added later with a small basement area for a furnuas room to have some real heat (coal) nuff history got some pics no vid batts dead on cam
lookin through the 2nd opening not sure I'm going to do it but it would be a nice place for a few hrs of after hr operating time

Re: 990 cat loader
yea but very rough , when we poured it had to be 1 of the hottest days the load came hot to begin with coupled with dry hot stones at 2 " rat slab it was all my dad and I could do to get it raked out . the ledge in the pic is half the base for the fireplace + a cap on the buttress wall. the ground here is tight close to your clays but put sand stone rocks in it . in the dry spell , it takes some time to scratch through with the 307 cat excavator I had . We hit ledge in the north east corner (straight back under the pumbing ) I'm just not sure I want to knowing whats under there . It'll sure be some model engineering fun

Re: 990 cat loader
I'm gonna have to build low pro mining equipment for my crawl space. At best, 18" is all I have at the high end. It would be a great project though. How heavy is the loader IHBuilder?

Re: 990 cat loader
OK official weight 46.6 lbs without the cab finished . I guessed about 40-50 lbs awhile back not to far off ( I think I pulled somethin ) I used to throw 50 lb seed, fertilizer, and lime bags up on a hydro seeder for years so I guess I got a feel for it
I decided to go through with the basement dig can't think of any logical place to store my coal unless I start another building I can just see the township beside , I got some new machines coming on line this year I need a good proving ground .

Re: 990 cat loader
started fixing another weak link today . I kept having issues with my valves sticking open and leaking The culprit p---- poor tolerances in the valve heads . The leaking was coming from a 6mm ID oring on a 5.8mm OD shaft So Made new 1's out of brass . 3-4 hours setup and tweaking and 1hr run time tops between the lathe and mill .
old new thanks for lookin

Re: 990 cat loader

all nice and tucked under the hood

Re: 990 cat loader
What a beast! Are those standard sized servos in the cab, running the valves? Gives a really good feel for the size of this loader!
