I myself am currently changing the filter on my 259D and this has to be the dumbest thing I have ever encountered with a Cat product! Good job Cat design team!

[@davidwalker8359]

It's a tad better in the 249D3, I feel you guys tho. This was insane.

For the oil filter:
Take the positive ( red ) cable off the battery and push it to the side. Makes a world of difference taking the filter off.

Very helpful ,thank you

[@lsatq]

Maybe they made the filter removal/install difficult so people will just take their machines to the dealer.

They need to make a kit to relocate the engine oil filter to a more accessible location. I would buy it! I have a 289 D and I usually pull the battery which is also not easy to remove!

[@TaxinGigs]

Take the positive (red) cable off the battery and push it to the side. Makes it 10× easier.

Thanks

I always have to remove my battery since there’s no space where the filter goes.

[@melodymann8715]

Oil filter should be in an easier location, serviceability is easier than most except bobcat seems

[@russ8001]

my used skidsteer cat 272d2 came without an access plate and after getting rid of a ton of dirt that had gotten into the compartment and cleaning it all out, I can't seem to find the right size for the two bolts that mount the new plate I cut. Do you know what size bolts these are? I assume they are metric as the two types of SAE bolts I have with right diameter don't seem to thread on. Thanks in advance!

[@bigbobsha]

@@catconstructiontrade So you are implying there is a kit available now?

[@syclone73]

a better video would be showing the engineer and his boss that approved putting a oil filter in a location so hard to get to doing this oil change . the machine is almost perfect A+ . the oil filter placement could have been made better C- .

[@Inprocessalways]

syclone73 you are too kind with C grade...... I thought I was going to have to remove the battery! Disappointed with CAT.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

In_process I always remove the battery for more space

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

And his boss with a big thumb up while engineer refils engine oil with no funnel, and the little oil spill that went with it. All good and proper.

[@windzer]

geez they make it difficult enough to get the filter off

[@fahadrajpoot8576]

Nice
