Thou- sands of satisfying, economical working hours are built into each machine. Whether or not the owner derives the maximum service from his machine depends largely on the care exercised in its operation and maintenance. This book is written to give the operator essential information regarding the day-to-day operation, lubrication and adjustment of the machine. Care- ful adherence to these instructions will result in assured economy. More and more Caterpillar owners are depend- ing upon their dealer for service other than the care and adjustments described in this book. This practice is recommended because Caterpillar dealers have stocks of genuine Caterpillar parts and are equipped with tools designed and built by Caterpillar. Their servicemen are factory- trained and are kept closely informed by the fac- tory regarding advanced methods of servicing Caterpillar products — thus, in all ways they are equipped to render the best of service. ‘ro0e4nAvoid Accidents Most accidents, whether they occur in the air, in industry, on the farm, at home, on the highways, or at sec, are caused by someone's failure to follow simple and fundamental safety rules or precau- tions. For this reason most accidents can be pre- vented by recognizing the real cause and doing something about it before the accident occurs. Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of any type of equipment, there are many conditions that cannot be completely safe- guarded against without interfering with reason- able accessibility and efficient operation. A careful operator is the best insurance against an accident. The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many thousands of serious injuries each year. That rule is: “Never attempt to clean, oil or adjust a machine wi it is in motion.” 72646CAPACITIES Table of Contents LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS Service Meter — General Lubricating Information — Description of Lubricants — Lubrication Chart OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS, Preparing The Tractor For Use—Starting The Engines— Driving The Tracior—Steering The Tractor—Operating Over An Obstruction — Operating In Deep Mud Or Water—Drawbar Adjustment—Stopping The Tractor— Continuous Operation On Stationary Work—Stopping ‘The Diesel Engine — Daily Care — Starting In Cold Weather — Storage MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Air Cleaners — Crankcase Lubricating Oil System — Fuels — Care Of The Fuel Supply — Care Of The Diesel Fuel Tank — Fuel System — Care Of The Fuel Filter — Priming The Fuel System — Fuel Injection Equipment — Starling Engine Fuel System — Cooling System — Radiator Sealed Pressure Overflow Unit — Fan Belt Ad- jusiment — Diesel Engine Valve Clearance Adjustment — Valve Rotators — Starting Engine Valve Clearance Adjustment — Starting Engine Magneto — Spark Plug Adjustment — Starting Engine Clutch —~ Flywheel Clutch — Steering Clutches And Brakes — Track Ad- justment — Final Drive Sprocket Hub Bearings — Washing Gear Compartments ATTACHMENT INSTRUCTIONS Rear Mounted Equipment — Electrical System — Wiring Diagrams — Lighting Systems INDEX 6-21 23-42 43-86 87-94 95-96 ....

There are some applications that will result in either at lower or higher than normal average engine speed. Under this condition, the advance in the Service Meter reading will differ from the number of clock hours of operation. ‘The purpose of the Service Meter is to indicate when to perform the recommended maintenance and lubrication operations. The established intervals in the lubrication chart and maintenance instructions are given in service hours, so daily readings will tell when to service the tractor. Rely on the Service Meter and not on the clock to measure service inter- vals. COVER ON SERVICE METER RAISED TO OBSERVE DIAL READING e 130187 GENERAL LUBRICATING INFORMATION Naturally, any precautions taken during cold weather to house the tractor, cover it with a tarpaulin, or warm it before storting, will cause more rapid oil distribution, Lubricate all miscellaneous points, not equipped with fittings, with crankcase lubricating oil every 50 service hours. It is extremely important in handling the oil to keep it clean. Every precaution should be taken to use only clean filler cans and to be sure that all dirt is removed from the filler cap before it is taken off for filling. The operator should take every precaution to prevent dirt from getting into any system to extend the life of the tractor.LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS 7 Careful attention to the following information on lubricants and their proper selection will add much to performance, economy and long life of your tractor, The lubrication chart specifies the lubricants to be used, the points to be serviced and the intervals of servicing according to service hours. DESCRIPTION OF LUBRICANTS The lubricants recommended for use in this tractor can be identified by the sub-headings preceding their descriptions that follow: The proper selection of one of these types of crankcase lubricating oils, transmission lubricemts, and SAE grade of oils can be made from the information in the topic, TYPE OF LUBRICANTS AND SAE GRADES TO USE. Crankcase Lubricating Oils Superior Lubricants (Series 8): These are additive-type oils that have been identified os meeting a rigid, high quality standard and certified for use in all Caterpillar diesel engines, See your Caterpillar dealer for brand names of producis conforming to this specification, MIL-L-2104A Specification Oils: These oils are additive-type but are milder thon Superior Lubricants (Series 3) Oils, They com be used as specified for various compartments satisfactorily. Your oil supplier is familiar with those oils meeting the MIL-L-2104A Specification, Straight Mineral Crankcase Lubricating Oil: Most of these oils will contain a very small concentration of engine oil additives. Oils with- out additives can also be used only in compartments as specified, ‘Transmission Lubricants Straight Mineral Transmission Oil: Some of this type may contain oxi- dation and corrosion inhibitors. However, only high quality products with good temperature stability should be used. Lubricating Grease Ball and Roller Bearing Lubricant: This lubricant is a mixture of mineral oil and metallic soaps, Use No, 2 grade for most temperatures. For ex- tremely low temperatures use No. 0 or No. 1 grade. This grease can be applied to all bearing points — plain bearings, ball bearings and roller bearings — where equipped with hydraulic pres- sure fittings or when bearings are hand packed. Use only a high grade short fiber grease. This grease must be satis- factory in anti-friction bearings at speeds up to 3000 RPM at ct maximum, temperature of 300° F. It is a grease with sullicient adhesive qualities to cling to the bearings in all extremes of high and low operating tempera tures.8 LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS Track Roller Lubricant: This is a stringy, tacky lubricant of a semi- fluid consistency at the prevailing atmospheric temperature. This lubri- cant developed for track rollers is recommended for use at points pro- vided with button head fittings. It con be hondled readily in the stahdard volume compressor. In sub-zero weather, crankcase lubricating oils may be used when track roller lubricant is too heavy to be handled in the compressor. Seasonal changes must be anticipated to be sure the proper grade of lubricant is introduced prior to temperature changes. A light grade lubri- cant used in the winter may leak excessively in warmer weather and a heavy grade lubricant, normally used during warm weather will not pro- vide adequate lubrication during colder temperatures. Thus roller bush- ing type bearings and shafts can be damaged, unless the correct grades of lubricant are used. Type of Lubricants and S.A.E. Grades to Use The grade of oil is classified in terms of viscosity (fluidity or flow abil- ity) and is identified with numbers called SAE numbers.

Second, the illustration and identification of points of lubrication som be used with the detailed illustrations and information on the pages following the chart as a reference for lubrication and service information. 9ALUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS 8 numbers are more fluid and flow more readily than do those with the higher numbers. To determine if the oil in the compartments will flow in cold weather, remove the oil level gauge or dip a finger into the oil before starting and if the oil will flow off, the oil is fluid enough to circulate properly. The oil that has been diluted for cold weather starting, should be drained and replaced with undiluted oil at the end of the cold season when dilution is no longer required. The oil specification chart will cid in the selection of the proper SAE grade of oil to be used in the various compartments at starting atmos- pheric temperatures. The atmospheric temperature at which the machine is started governs the SAE grade of oil to use. Diesel Engine Crankcase Lubricating Oil Change Periods ‘The crankcase lubricating oil change periods for these engines have been carefully established for the purpose of protecting the service life of the engine as economically as possible. Change the oil and filter elements after the first 10 service hours of operation of a reconditioned engine.
