    any caterpillar techs on here?

    Uncle wieners is where I got mine. That’s what this one is, is a diesel air heater. I mounted the EGR cooler off my duramax to act as a coolant heater. The version I got has the 4 smaller outputs that I’ll be routing the hot air to be blowing on the hydrostatic pumps since they both turn when...

    Back surgery

    In my opinion, try to hang upside down completely. Let the table max out so your body or anything isn't touching any of the table just your ankles. the hardest part is relaxing if you're really hurting. When i get really bad its almost impossible to relax. But I distract myself I get my phone...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    The traditional block heater port is right beside the lower hose for the circulatory one. Threads into the oil cooler. Which is still almost impossible to get to due to the ROPS support and hydrostatic tank. I had thought about running a genset but the hour of clearing I could get done extra...

    Back surgery

    I had back surgery when I was 28 on December 24 2019, just before Covid hit. So I wasn’t able to get any physiotherapy. So my recovery took quite a bit longer then it should’ve. Especially since insurance didn’t cover anything. I have a stage 1 slip L5 on the S1, and had a severe herniation...

    No fault insurance

    No fault is a joke, that’s how Saskatchewan and SGI Insurance operates. Back in 2016 I was involved in a car accident on my way to work on the morning. The other vehicle was stolen, the driver was drunk, his license was suspended. After the accident all the occupants fled the scene, the driver...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    3RZ00297 I was able to SEE the second lower plug from between the ROPS support and the hydrostatic tank, but there’s no way I can get anything in there to remove the plug let alone install a fitting with a hose/clamp.

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    You’re right it does look like a summer job, but I have a bunch of land clearing to do until mid December probably and the machine sits in the bush for weeks at a time. Miles away from power for the oil pan heater. In the mean time I may be able to get away with just using the air part of the...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    Can see the top plug in the head in the second picture. Not much access to get to that one even. Then the lower further back plug that the suction line would be. I have zero access to, the ROPS is in the way and then the hydrostatic tank as well. The other side compartments are frozen shut so...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    That would be awesome thanks. I'll get a few pictures of my limited access tomorrow. The engines half under the cab, and behind side panels. The engine doors open up but only to the first two cylinders, and you're working over the batteries. at the head level. Pictures someone taking a 3306 and...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    I didn't know that the aftercooler could have its own circuit. That definitely wouldn't help the block then if all i heated was the cooler circuit. I did see two 1/2" plugs but they were my hands length away from the thermostat, i'd hate to have the coolant come back and just be warming the rad...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    Access is an issue, hard to even get in there to see what plugs are around, if i had an idea what i was going for it would make my life easier. Trying to do this outside in the rain and snow sucks wearing winter gear cant slip my head into the panels very far. I see a bunch of 1/4" plugs, But...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    Any cat techs on here? I'm installing a diesel coolant heater on a 3306 and am wondering where the best place is to get the coolant from and where to return it back to the engine would be. I was hoping to return the coolant to the aftercooler so it would both heat the air in the intake and then...

    The big 5

    Riding with Pontus this spring after Andreas left back to Sweden, he told us a little bit about the stunts Andreas was doing. And he did mention that everything was big, he was not wrong.

    2023 Sled Show in Edmonton

    I really wanted to see that, someone should ask the Arctic cat reps if the Garmin gauge can communicate with the Polaris ride command. And the trail tech GPS units. That would be great. I hear Polaris offered the tracking technology to skidoo and they turned it down, not sure how much...

    2023 Sled Show in Edmonton

    Did you happen to see if the 858 was there? Curious to see what that thing looks like. I was hoping to make it to edmonton for the show this year but my back doesn't want to make the 8 hour drive, and the last reasonable flight sold out. I'm not paying $1,200 for a 1.5 hour flight. Side note...
