Anyone out there have the instruction for the above tool. I need to check the rack setting on a 3U grader with a D315 engine. Unfortunately, it`s been about 50 years I since last used one and have forgotten how-old age you know. I know that you have to pull an injector out and place the gauge in the injection pump hole but don`t know what measurements to use. I have a rack chart but it`s for the old system. This may be a question for Old Magnet. Thanks in advance, Larry.

Rack setting for the 3U using the 3H1690 tool is 0.330".

Many thanks, Old Magnet, I knew that I could count on you. Have not been doing too many repairs lately. Old age taking it's toll. Got my sawmill running last year. The old D315 handles the 48" blade very well. Had to convert friction drive to full hydraulic. What a difference. I used Cat parts wherever I could- hoses, hydraulic fittings, hardware, etc. I hope in the next month that the weather dries up so I can get sawing. The old D315 sounds very good under load, music to my ears. It got a full overhaul and sat indoors for about 30 years before I got it mounted in a frame above the husk frame for the saw. Old girl fired right up ready to do battle with the logs. Sorry I can't post pictures, don't know about the posting. Have necessary cameras though. Cheers, and thanks again, Larry.

Pictures would be great if you can figure out the posting.

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."
