Caterpillar 22 Repair Manual?

Having just acquired a 22 I too am interested in knowing what manual would be most suitable to help with understanding the twenty two. From searching this forum and others I understand there is not one specifically for the twenty two. Leon

It is my understanding that the repair manual for the small 20 is the best one for us 22 owners

I agree that there appears to be no Specific Manual for the 22 , I use PV15 or small 20 and have most 22 engine specs . I am yet to come across Manual for an R2 .I use D2 but dosen't fully cover Engine of Course . LJ

Lance,

I too would like to thank you for your response. Another site (ssbtractor) offers manuals but I have no idea really if these are for what you are calling the small 20. Please tell me if one of the below manuals would be the appropriate manual.

20 Crawler (L1,PL1) Service Manual, 118 pages $43.95
20 Crawler (PL6320 & Up) Service Manual, 77 pages $43.95
20 Crawler (All s/n's Tools) Service Manual, 62 pages $42.95

Hello Ron
The first 2 Books are for the Big Twenty [L and PL ] and I can only assume the 3rd is for Tools for same . The Small Twenty is the 8C Series , it is the upgrade of the PV15 , which I understand they only made 652 off. The 22 followed with few changes except for the Motor . Hope this is off some help . I actually had a 22 That had been fitted with a PV15 motor !!. LJ

I have a Caterpillar Model 22. The tractor number is 2F8366 SP. Would someone know what would be the best manual to repair the steering clutches and brakes?
I see there are different manuals for the model 20, perhaps according to tractor number.

Thanks,

Ken

Read Lance Jones post just above yours. There is a PV15 reprint on Ebay quite often, best thing to do is use the search function to find all the threads on here about guys working on their 22's. You'll pick up a lot of good information! Then the R2 threads for more info on the overhead valve gas engine, then on to some of the D2 threads for undercarriage, steering clutch and brake info. There is a site dedicated to the 22 by a guy who has been kind enough to post sections of the Operator/Owner manual which is a big help too!

I have a CAT 22 operators manual and parts manual in digital format. If anybody wants a copy I can email them to you. Just PM me. Is there a way those could be posted on here?

Good Luck
