D10R Track-Type Tractors
Description
Elevated sprocket tractors used for dozing, pushing, or ripping
or winch. Also used with special guards and equipment for
work in waste disposal. Tractor is standard with power shift
transmission and differential steer and wet multiple disc brakes.
Electronic Fingertip Control (FTC) combines steering clutch
disengagement and braking for each track. Pull back slightly to
disengage steering clutches, fully back to brake track.
3. If the machine is under “close follow” to monitor wear
levels to ascertain whether a failure mode is in
progress.
4. If an oil change interval has been altered from the
interval recommended in the Operation & Maintenance
Guide.

Serial Number Range: 3KR

Lubrication Recommendations
For complete information concerning lubrication
recommendations, refer to Caterpillar Machine Lubricant
Recommendations. Form SEBU6250.

Oil Sampling Procedures

Oil Sampling Valves are factory installed for engine,
transmission and hydraulics. Final drive and winch (if
equipped) must be samples using a vacuum pump.

Recommended Oil Sampling Intervals

Engine: 250 hours - Oil Sampling Valve
Transmission: 500 hours - Oil Sampling Valve
Hydraulics: 500 hours - Oil Sampling Valve
Final Drive: 500 hours - Oil Sampling Valve

Filter Inspection
Recommend that filters be saved for inspection. Plastic bags
are convenient for retaining the filters until they can be cut open
for inspection. The 4C5084 Filter Cutting Tool is available for
this purpose. Be alert for visible pieces of synthetic friction
material or metal which may indicate a problem.

Recommended Oil Sampling Intervals

The recommended oil sampling intervals for this machine model
is 250 hours for the engine and 500 hours for all other systems.
Caterpillar dealers or users may wish to consider a 250 hour
sampling interval for all systems, particularly under the following
circumstances:
1. If the machine is under a Customer Support
Agreement (CSA).
2. If the machine applications is more severe than
normal.
