Greetings all:

  We have had trouble finding the special wrench or socket to service/fill the final drives. The plug has about a 1 3/16" internal hex. Could not find it in the 1952 Cat service tools book. Not in the tool list for the fifteen or twenty two. How does one get these off? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Use a standard bolt, I believe about a 3/4" or whatever head fits in the hex and either double nut or weld a nut on the threaded portion of the bolt and use that. Not fancy but works fine.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
