Thanks for the reply I will get new filters. Just couldn't justify spending $100 on four socks until I knew it would run.

its not a bad idea to fit a delphi (lucas/cav) type 796 water trap filter in the line from the fuel tank this will help prolong the life of the main filters and show if you have gotten a batch of bad fuel due to the clear bowl and allows you to drain off any moisture collected there. just make sure its mounted in a protected spot.

search online and at swap meet etc for a owners maintenance book, servicemans reference, and parts book to suit your machine there is also a separate parts book for the hydraulics control system and books for the engine itself.
if you have part numbers the dealers can help as some parts are still available. but they need a part number first. some of the older numbers have to be "converted" by adding a zero or 2 after the first 2 characters to make them six characters. i have found the local dealer helpful if i was patient enough to find the pn myself first.

I have seen some of the parts books on eBay and knowing that the 9U is pretty much the same should help trying to find parts. My wife laughed about the water separator for the fuel she said Wyoming is like a giant desiccant pad and no chance of that happening. The hurricane force winds would soak it up in no time just filling the tank.

This is the water separator I installed. Looks very similar to the Delphi you suggested. We put these on all of the equipment just in case. We rarely get any water out of them but you never know what could happen.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
