CAT CT660 in the shop today....
A local customer purchased one of the new CAT trucks about a year ago and to be honest, this is the first time its been in the shop! Im not sure how well they are doing as a whole but looks like this one isn't a lemon or " built on Friday" kinda truck.
In for a leaking air bag on the drop axle. wish I got a picture of the look on the truck mechanics face when he was told what he had to do! The guy has done nothing but work on CAT engines only for 15yrs! now, with this truck he has to do chassis repairs enough rambling!....lots of brushed aluminum all over and the cab is quite nice. this is my favorite detail in the cab, the aluminum toe kick plate with stamped cat logo Check out the mix of trucks , a pete , a CAT dump truck and a cat service truck which is a international with a maxforce IH engine??? go figure thanks for looking mario |

Looks nice Mario. There are a handful of them around here a few dumps (4 axle) and a boom truck. Can you get a shot if that service truck. Looks really good from what I can see.

Re: CAT CT660 in the shop today....
The "cat" truck is really just an international with a cat diesel. I wonder how much longer cat will continue with this truck as international has recently switched back to cummins. I hear the joint venture between cat and IH failed to meet emissions pushing IH back to cummins for power. I also hear that IH had a shake up in upper management to make the company profitable again.
Personally I think the truck looks like a 9400 with a hood off a kw.....kinda weird looking. But I'm a Mack man so what does that say lol... |

Re: CAT CT660 in the shop today....
So its a CAT tractor without a cat motor???? What moron in upper management thought this to be a good idea? That's like buying a cat loader with a komatsu or Hitachi motor in it....stupid as **** if you ask me. And when was the official change over for international to start using Cummins motors instead of there own ? 2013 or 2014?

Re: CAT CT660 in the shop today....
Whoa, sorry guys, my error. The tandem dump truck is cat and so is the engine, a CT13.
The irony is the service truck our company bought. A IH chassis and engine dressed with CAT logos??. Strange to represent a brand and yet run a service truck with someone else's engine eh? I'm just a mechanic.....what do I know? Lol Last edited by Supermario; 10-29-2013 at 10:36 PM. |

A, B, and C series skid loaders, and mini excavators can have a Perkins or Mitsubishi engine. Backhoes and smaller excavators have Perkins engines. D series skid loaders have a tier 4 Kubota engine The CAT farm tractors are made by AGCO CAT tellahandlers are made by JLG. CAT forklifts are made by Mitsubishi and can have engines from Mitsubishi, Nisan, GM 4.3v6 and a few others. At least they put a CAT logo on the perkapillar. So now what do you think?

Re: CAT CT660 in the shop today....
It's a mixed bag of brands out there. Perkins is no longer a "will fit" to CAT; Perkins is owned by CAT, along with a whole list of common equipment brand names. The diverse world of brands and products continues to shrink and vendors sharing products is one way to compete.
It is interesting about the IH service truck at a CAT dealer..... Ken

Re: CAT CT660 in the shop today....
As per request by Ben, heres the CAT, IH service truck. I call it " the Beast" or when you drive it in the bush its called, " The Tank " cuz it sure rides like one!
what this picture means is, once the truck arrives at the job, the engine is shut off. All power for the crane, air compressor and electricity is provided by a EnerPack. A little 3 cyl diesel which runs all that. They call it fuel saving BS but we all know the real reason....NEVER let this truck idle or it wont re gen properly and run like $#%^. the price tag is a beast too! 265K for the truck, tools to fill it not included Mario |

What I recal hearing is that cat " was out of the truck engine buisness". IH teamed up with cat to try and save costs on the EPA regulated emission systems on new diesels. The thought was both would put in half the cost to build a better engine suppied in ih trucks. Around that same time cat trucks were in the came with the same engines found in ih trucks. Sadly the emission issues dod not get sorted out as planned. I think the maxxforce engine may have had some development done by cat as well. All I know is that IH was having lots of trouble with engines and recently went back to offering cummins in their otr trucks. Not sure where cat stands today with their ct trucks or their relationship with IH? |

As for the modern diesel engine's, They were reliable until all this "emission's crap" came out in 2004! Cheer's, Neil. |
