Power Train

Caterpillar® 3034 Engine

Caterpillar® 3034 engine provides high engine horsepower and robust flywheel torque.

Closed Loop, High-Output Hydrostatic System

Closed loop, high-output hydrostatic system and exclusive anti-stall system deliver maximum torque to the wheels.

High Strength Pre-Stressed Chains

High strength, pre-stressed chains are continuously lubricated.

Drive Axle

Each drive axle is forged, induction-hardened and sealed for life.

Drive Motors

Left and right drive motors convert hydraulic flow (provided by the hystat pumps) to torque to the four drive wheels. Torque from the motors transfers mechanical power to the wheels through a chain reduction drive.

Parking Brake

Parking brake is spring-applied and hydraulically released.

Variable Displacement, Engine-Mounted Pumps

Two variable displacement hydrostatic pumps are mounted to the engine via a flexible coupling and provides oil to the drive motors.

Anti-Stall Device

Anti-stall device maximizes power train and hydraulic performance.

Cooling System

Cooling is accomplished via a tilt-up assembly consisting of a hydraulically driven fan, steel fan guard, shroud, radiator/hydraulic oil cooler and grill.

Reliability

Reliability is built in and factory tested to ensure years of trouble-free operation.

Integral Quick Coupler

Opposing Wedges

Opposing wedge pins keep the work tool secure, even after years of use.

Rugged Design

Rugged design with a large contact area absorbs loads and minimizes stress.

Tool Engagement

Tool engagement and release are quick and easy.

Coupler Design

Allows an excellent view of work tools and unobstructed entry and exit to the cab.

Breakout Force

Two hydraulic cylinders per coupler for high breakout force. Tilt of the coupler is accomplished using two hydraulic cylinders that also provide high breakout force.

Serviceability

Rear Engine Compartment Door

Rear engine compartment door opens 90 degrees for easy access to both sides of the in-line mounted engine.

Maintenance Points

Maintenance points are grouped in easily accessible locations.

All Filters

All filters are vertically mounted spin-on type, reducing fluid spills.

Radiator, Hydraulic Oil Cooler, and Grill

Radiator, hydraulic oil cooler, and grill tilt up, providing more room for maintenance and allowing easy cleaning.

Battery, Air Filter, and Single Engine Belt

Battery, air filter, and single engine belt are conveniently located.

Cab

Cab tilts to the rear with a pneumatically assisted strut, exposing all pumps, motors, valves, and lines. Cab is held in the raised position by a self-latching mechanism.

Hydraulic Tank and Radiator Sight Glass

Hydraulic tank and radiator each have a sight glass for fast daily fluid-level checks.

Ecology Drains

Ecology drains simplify the task of changing engine oil and hydraulic system oil.

All Grease Fittings

All grease fittings are countersunk in the pin ends to prevent damage.

Extended Life Coolant

Extended life coolant and 500-hour oil change intervals for lower maintenance costs.

S-O-S(SM) Oil Analysis Ports

S-O-S(SM) Oil Analysis Ports are installed to allow regular monitoring of the oil quality for preventive maintenance.

Chassis

Main Frames

Fully welded box section main frames provide rigidity for long life.

Side Plates
