Clearing Trees and Brush with Cat 941 Traxcavator

Cool job man, pretty nice cat :-)

I am sure that by now you have found out hydraulic lines do not have o rings ! My boss had the track cylinders double sealed , but I never understood how that could be.

how has the cat 941 been running now that you have owned it for a while?

I am very pleased with the machine. I use it for mostly residential jobs. I've done a few driveways and some clearing with it. I am having problems with the right track. I know I need to replace the seal on the tension cylinder, but the spring may be busted/weak too. When I get some time, I am going tear it down and see what I need to do to fix it. The right track keeps jumping off. Also, one of the hydraulic lines on the lift arms is leaking. I am sure it is just an o-ring, but it is hard to get to. Other than that, I have no issues with it. I am going to hold on to it and continue to work it! It's a beast. It can sit for weeks at a time (even through the winter) and fires up every time. Once I get the track fixed, I will use it on larger jobs as a secondary machine.
