Rebuilding my CAT 226b skid steer engine

[@langdons2848]

Great to see your rebuild, thank you for sharing. I’m hoping I never have to do an engine rebuild in mine, but it’s interesting to see the process and know that it’s achievable.

muito bom seu video como regulou as valvulas ??

Good job, that hard work has payed off, ten times better than a new machine made out of Chinesium 👍.

[@gordonagent7037]

Bloke can I ask how much you paid for it and also the machining work, pistons etc. You did a great job putting the motor back together, be nice if you didn’t edit so much of the assembly work out, us old buggers have more time to watch this shit than you young guys so spare a thought for us old farmers living vicariously through your efforts. Bloody good work, well done

Hi mate, I paid 10k for the machine and the engine machine work and parts cost me a little over 4K from memory. Cheers I’ll keep that in mind when I get around to editing my next video on my Kubota posi track

When you rebuild an engine, like this, you should replace the conrod bolts and nuts with new ones. They are a “torque to yield” bolt, meaning they are designed to only be torqued the once. They stretch when torqued the first time & when loosened off they don’t shrink back to their original length, they remain stretched a little. When you use them again, the second time, they stretch beyond their yield limit to achieve the factory torque specification. This means they are prone to failure, and if / when that happens you will put a rod through the block.

they will be fine for reuse, torque angle bolts would be a different story as they are intentionally stretched to achieve result, done up to spec then twisted to spec angle feels wrong using them as you feel the bolt stretch, very common for torque to yield bolts to be re-used, manufactures like Cummins even make a bolt stretch measuring tool for this to ensure they are still in spec

Nice work mate. Keep the videos coming. However, I do feel like this video is missing an important moment in this skid-steers life.!

[@sheoakshenanigans4943]

Haha yeah that might be in the next video

[@meshalalotaibi2663]

I have the same model 226 and I had nothing but problems with it

[@sheoakshenanigans4943]

Engine issues? The rest of this machine seems to be pretty good

[@langdons2848]

@@sheoakshenanigans4943I have a 226B3 and it’s been very good. That said I currently have a fuel system problem (I think it’s a clogged screen on the fuel lift pump). No problems with any thing else though. It’s sad to hear but perhaps Mesh just got a lemon.
