Has anyone ever had a professional Machine shop make gear for a CAT? I figure with CNC machines they could make the shape exactly, but what about the materials used and then operating strength?
Really hoping to get this machine back in operating condition.
Yes there should be many places in the US that can make the gear for you. I have had a few made here in Australia with no problems. Just make sure you use a company that specialized in gear making as they have the equipment to heat treat the gear correctly. A machined gear that is not correctly heat treated will not last.
If Cat can't supply the part, they will provide you a copy of the blueprint of it, so get the correct part number and go to your local Cat Dealer and ask them to get you the blueprint, then find a reputable gear maker and spend some coin.
Ive Contacted Cat {Cleveland Brothers} and they cant get the blueprints. Im thinking when scrap was high alot of 933Hulks/transaxels got scrapped as nothing for this machine seems to be available by a majority of the parts dealers.
I check tomorrow if am still have these 2 pieces
Did you try dismantled machines on www.machinerytrader.com?
The 3K6414 gear and 3K6481 Pinion shaft was used on s/n 42A2106-up.
Google search the 3K6481, looks like CTP has a repo at $254.87 or Regal @ $158.08
Also there is an outfit called "Off Road Equipment" that's pretty good a finding obscure parts.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
