Wow! Chinese parts at CAT price

hello John ,i sure there would be a law against selling parts made in another country in a made in the usa box .made to caterpillar specification in the usa ?
i know there is in australia ,bruce oz

Bought a ring gear the other day for my D47U. CAT (CAT Classic not available). Made in India. The holes did not line up with the flywheel. They were off a few thousandths. I believe someone forgot a torch wrench is used during installation and that the gear expands accordingly. The holes should have been drilled closer to the center line of the gear so that they would line up with the holes in the flywheel after the gear expanded. If this happens again, I am going to buy aftermarket rather than pay an extra $200.00 for a CAT box.

Peterson stoped doing there have it to your drop box within 24-36 hrs:rain:

I like to try and buy USA products only:usa2: I buy only Snapon tools which I used to think they were strictly USA most of there stuff is but quite a bit of it is overseas.

That's pretty nervy of Cat to put that Chinese crap in their box and market it as American.
I guess the greed merchants just can't resist the buy it for a bag of rice and sell it targeted at top USA pricing.

Hi genuine castings made from old cast iron water pipes leave out in the weather to rust and harden will last longer

The quality might go down but you know the Caterpillar price will not. Sad to see and hear this.

I can hear the excuse from Cat now...."We are a global company so.................."

Hey ,surprised someone hasnt' brought up that we are now getting back our scrapped out old Cats in recycled form!!!!! John D
