- 2007 Cat Caterpillar 257B fluid and filter locations. How to lift cab, drain hydraulic fluid, change and drain engine oil, oil filter, hydraulic filter, fuel filter, cabin air filters, engine air filters
Thank you for posting these videos. I feel more comfortable now.
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.
Tha KS foe the video man. I just got a 2004 247b two days ago and have been cleaning it up and fixing little things. Gonna do all fluids next.
This video helps me a lot!! Thank you so much!
No problem, I made this video because dealer couldn’t tell me much and what they could didn’t apply to mine. And not much online about this model
Ok so,the valve on the thermostat housing is to shut the water supply off to the heater core for using the machine in the summer to get the most out of the ac,the in line fiel filter is behind the air cleaner housing between the fuel tank sending unit and the mechanical fuel pump
Thank you, hard time educating myself on this machine.
Looking to flush hydraulic fluid!!
Any videos will be helpful, thanks again!
Very helpful
How did you manage to loosen the nut/bolt for cabin release? I tried but no luck
What did you use to break the cab nuts loose? I see they are 15/16ths but can’t get them to budge on a 287b we are borrowing that has a bad leak under the cab.
Does the cat 257b 2005 have the 2 speed rabbit mode? If it does how do you turn on rabbit mode.
Your online fuel filter location... behind air filter housing, at rear engine mount, look for the rubber fuel line and you will see it about the same height as the hydraulic filter housing.
How do you recharge the air conditioner I can't find it
I have a 246b cat machine would you happen to know where the fuse box panel is??? my 12v power outlet on front is not working I think it’s a fuse.
I just got one...yours have high flow...?
Hey how do you check the hydronic fluid level
What does the petcock value next to the thermostat and coolant sensor do? Thanks in advance
Should be a bleeder for coolant system
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.

Do you spray the engine with water? I'm afraid to short something.
hillary clinton I sprayed mine with water and engine clear just stayed away from spraying directly on electric connections
Back left behind the rest of the filters for inline. Little red one on ours. Where is the fuse panel located?
In cab under seat little door right behind your legs
My cat 257b starting bucket moves up and down but will not move track wheels seems locked what should be done to get it moving
Does parking brake release on tracks?
Hello there where is the fuel pump located
What size are the cab nuts holding down the cab Brandon?
Steven Richards 15/16”
Where is the dentent coil loacted
My cat 257b starting bucket moves up and down but will not move track wheels seems to be locked what is the problem what to do to get the wheels rolling
Check the electrical connection to the door
Fyi ..Fuel filter is at back of motor on injector side inside low pressure pump
15/16 is socket size to take the nuts off for the cab
Is there a latch you have to pull to get the cab up? I got the nuts off and tried my hardest to lift the cab..
Marshall Eng sorry for late reply I had no latch on mine but did have to take pry bar to pop it loose from sitting so long
Brandon Koester yeah that one I was working on had been sitting for years. I used a pry bar to get the cab bolts out of the holes. But that’s as far as that went.
I noticed on the left side of the cab there is a small red lever. I tried to mess with that but no success. I guess I’ll try to pry on it more..
Marshall Eng there’s a red lever that locks into place after cab is open
@@brandonkoester9031 is the red lever a safety lab so cab doesn't fall closed?
@@galehess6676 yes
Have you found the in-line fuel filter yet because I can’t find mine I have been looking
I have not, but I have cab up on mine changing hydraulic lines and track parts so I’ll double check
@@brandonkoester9031 Have you ever found the inline fuel filter? I am looking on mine but don't want to lift the cab unless it is necessary.
@@tombrown352 behind air filter between fuel tank sending unit and the mechanical fuel pump
Open back door up to find
How do you check the transmission fluid
Kim Murphy it’s part of the hydraulic system for whole skid. But to check that fluid right above the fuel filler behind the right arm you will see another filler and a sight glass on the side that’s the hydraulic fluid for entire machine. I’ll post a video on it

How do you jack up the cab
Once the 2 nuts are off just lift up, sometimes have to get a pry bar u see to break loose
where heater location?and how to fix heater system not work?
I will post a video of it, sorry for late response
Hello. Do you know where you can charge the a/c on the 257b model???? Thanks
where do u refuel?

Ever have any luck locating in line fuel filter??
Its hidden behind the air filter housing between the fuel tank and the mechanical fuel pump
@@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!
I have a 216b skid steer hydraulic pump will not operate bucket will not lift wheels will not turn
Check fluid level first then if change fluid and filter
How often we should change hydraulic oil.
2000hrs, but I’d start testing it after a few years. $17 from the cat dealer gives you everything you need to take the sample and send it in.
