1957 955 clutch

Sounds like one or both of the thrust washers out of the sliding collar. Can you determine if it has four radial oil grooves?

If it is the thrush washers how do I replace them? I looked over at cat for these on the parts diagram and did not see thrush washers.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Team,
scan below should get you there.

NOTE the oil pump must be removed before lifting the clutch assembly out. If the clutch centre bearings are worn the pump drive shaft will be bent, If the pump shaft has been bent the shaft will suffer fatigue failure in service.
Check shaft/gear for running true any time the pump is removed. Have fixxed several clutches with pump fatigue failed pump shafts. Gear falls into clutch mechanism--not usually a pretty sight, some were lucky and the gear got flicked out.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Sorry for out of order load. Were loaded in order individually this time---sigh

Items #8 and #10.

When removing the clutch. don't forget to remove the bolt on the bottom that attaches the pump suction bell and line....the one they don't tell you about in the manual.

Hi edb,
It's a Mickey Mouse solution to a Mickey Mouse BB but try dinking around with the drag and drop images after you upload your list. Put them in the order you want for final posting and that seems to work sometimes, maybe.
Direct list upload only seems to work on the Heavy Equipment Forums but historically it has had problems also.

Hi OM,
Mmm, just added some attachments to an Email with Outlook Express and I tried to load in order using the Ctrl button --all went well until they loaded with the biggest file size first--not intended order--so maybe the problem is in the Windows XP -- Outlook Express or what ever transfers images within our 'puters-- do you want to know about Cat Machines ? I can maybe help, I am not any help with 'Puters though.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

PS. OM, I did read of that drop and drag in a post Megan did somewhere --but--I had tried something like it with out success. I guess I will keep at it next post with pix.

Thanks

If the rain will stop going to have a try at it tonight. Looks like I'm going to be standing on my head for a while. Also if you don't mind me asking where are you'll getting your pictures from. The books I got show hardly any of this.

Any suggestions on where to get parts at?
