It just so happened CAT Melbourne had an early delivery from CAT Morton yesterday so I was able to buy genuine. Now I can get stuck into it...
Hi All Thanks for the replies. Just found out there is nil stock of main bearings in Australia, CAT are waiting on back order from USA. There are...
I’m about to roll in new big end and main bearings on my CAT 3408 at the 8,000 hour interval which is a little over from last time. Do you guys...
No! One of life’s mysteries. I used a special sensitive foam leak detector and sprayed everywhere. Isolated several systems, but it wasn’t enough...
That’s what I’m doing, putting a cylinder head maintenance kit in it which includes unloader valves. Just curious as to why one discharge valve...

Yes, that’s the mileage to service I was more or less thinking. With 2 trailers at 79 tonnes about the same fuel mileage as a modern truck as...
Problem is my brakes last forever. The dolly has done 330,000 kms (205,000 miles) and the brakes are barely worn. I just took a little play out of...
How often should you re-pack grease hubs? I run oil hubs on all my trailers, but I fitted new K-Hitch axles on my converter dolly and they have...
Just bought 4 x locking fuel caps for my KW. Genuine Kenworth items, the round screw-on ones. Only problem is, I just found out you can’t take the...
I put new ones in yesterday. Took about two hours of work time. Much easier if you take the wheels off. Only the front axle needed doing. When all...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Being dual pedestal and this is the front pedestal where the wear is, you have to drag the front axle back, compressing the...
Thanks. That’s going to be very useful. I’ll get the parts this morning. Probably use my portapower instead of a jack, interesting they don’t show...
