    Thank you! I purchased this skid steer for my son, but he started driving a truck and abandoned his plans to use the machine. Now, I'm going to use it at my house before I sell it. You've helped me tremendously.

    Great video. Here's a heads up on the inline fuel filter. Find your transfer pump, located just behind the high pressure fuel pump. There's a small screw in the middle of the pump. Remove it and "CAREFULLY" lift the top off. This will expose a screen inside. Remove and clean. Note the screen has 3 fingers that allow it to go in one way. Also the cover has a star pattern in order to align. Also not this is a not serviced part by CAT. Meaning if you screw something up, you need a new pump. I just did one yesterday for a customer that replaced the OEM water sep./filter and couldn't figure out why his machine ran like crap. Wish I could show you the pictures! Hope this helps.

    How long have you had your CAT? What are the main issues you've had with it? I had to change out the entire undercarriage with the bear products. All the axels went to heck and just went out. Id be interested to see what other problems people have had with this machine and try to catch them before they get too far gone. CAT 257B 2006 3000 hours.

      @@golfwrench Thanks for the reply! I think our unit doesn’t have it after looking. I figured that’s where it had to be. I may install one in there. There is a screen in the fuel lift pump on the top. One 8mm bolt and it’s under the round cover. Ours was filthy. I dunno how diesel flowed through it. After cleaning it Runs best it ever has since we have owned it. Also way easier to prime with the plunger now. Hope this helps someone!

      If you have diesel in hydraulic tank I’d drain and refill take with new fluid. The over heating is a different problem. Could be bad fan motor, bad temp switch, messed up wire, or check fusible links on driver side rear.

      It’s a cloudy liquid like engine oil, if you lift bucket up into the air then you can see the lax line easier, but don’t take that as your reading, once you locate the max line then drop bucket back down and look at tank again
