Buy A Cat 955H

I bought a crawler loader and knew nothing about them. I think its safe to say that I have learned a few things. The radiator was shot so that needed replaced and also a quick a dirty track fix.

Good job man ! You motivate me to fabricate/ get creative with this type of stuff.

[@PossumKing]

Sometimes there are no options. Ya just gotta get r done. Some of the simplest approaches are the best fixes.

[@michaellynskey7124]

If you have and small channel to fit over the two lift cylinder it will support the bucket in a raised position safely 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

just got one .. ad seized turbo , all the wires caught fire , still got her to fire ..big project but cant kick the smile off my face. good luck !

[@PossumKing]

Want another one? Mine is in the way

[@susanvaughn741]

Looks like a good parts machine!

[@Onemattressatatime]

And no one died during filming . Getting better every video

[@PossumKing]

No fatality is the goal. Thanks for watching

[@mikereynolds2653]

Not even a possum

[@rbmccloskey]

That was a brutal extraction. I suggest you invest in a Owners/Operators Manual, a Parts Manual and a Shop Manual for your 955-H track loader. These manuals make maintenance and repair much easier, you can find them on eBay.

[@PossumKing]

Yeah I have one. It's just big heavy parts. Not much I can do about that.

[@dannywyatt8741]

a little rough a round the edges but you wait on no man and get the job done.

[@PossumKing]

Total peice of junk

Nice vid I really liked this one

[@PossumKing]

Thanks. Getting better cameras really helps with filming.

[@CodyFazio]

@@PossumKing Ya the angles and editing were good. I gave up on vids for a bit, the editing eats up a lot of time

[@PossumKing]

@@CodyFazio I just edit when I'm bored sitting around at work. Editing is fun to me.

track adjusters at end of rails

Replacing the engine on our 955H as we speak, going through this same kind of stuff. Radiator rebuild, etc. Big project and all heavy stuff!

[@PossumKing]

You have a d330a in it? They are really simple motors. I'm currently down waiting on engine parts myself.

[@TheOldMachines]

@@PossumKing same engine! It ran very well but its worn. It's a good time for us to go through the machine and clean it up, etc. Do you have any hints on engine removal/where to get parts/contact for your radiator guy? Thanks 👍👍

[@PossumKing]

@@TheOldMachines I have nothing for engine removal. You need to find a manual on eBay. As for the radiator I used west side radiator in Denver PA. There is another company online that can make it for $1500. I paid S1200 though west side. I can get you a part number tomorrow if you want to look online.

[@TheOldMachines]

@@PossumKing thanks for the info....that would be great. I'm in NJ. Our radiator is probably shot too so sourcing a new one is going to be important. We took the entire front end and loader off so access isnt that bad...

[@PossumKing]

@@TheOldMachines The part number for your core should be the same (60a1 and up ser #) 7M9660

Lol a little sneaker slag boogie. Boots are much better choice for this line of work!!

[@PossumKing]

I usually always wear boots. Fire whatever reason I was wearing them cheap shoes that day. Being lazy I guess. Lesson learned

[@scposter1]

My Dad had a 955H and later traded it in on a 955K

I want one of these, badly.

Man,that looks like Niagara Falls!I wouldn't even try to fix that!It's time to peel that dough out of your butt!Sorry to see that! Good luck!

[@aislantezoe]

Good job, but you have to be safe by using some gloves and glass protection by working with oxidation metal and acid things. Safety first!

[@PossumKing]

I'll blame it on laziness and not wanting to walk down to the toolbox for gloves.

[@ballardstowingandoffroadre2367]

Just curious, What did you pay for that machine ??

[@PossumKing]

I think $5k. You want it? For sale.

Your rail are paper thin replace soon

[@digndurt6936]

So common to the traxcavator. Hard on the undercarriage.

[@150kendo2]

Could of at least bought a real dozer. That you push dirt with. That’s basically a big skid steer to me

[@PossumKing]

I mean it's a 30000lb machine. Crawler loaders and dozers each have their place. A loader works better for my project. Thanks for watching.

[@digndurt6936]

Too short on chain lifting radiator.

[@finallyitsed2191]

@@digndurt6936 ...actually, the short chain allows the operator to rotate the radiator anywhere from vertical to horizontal just by curling or dumping the bucket making it easier to align the bolts in the radiator housing with the chassis. This guy did a lot of very difficult work by himself. That alone is impressive.
