Oil pressure, fuel pressure and temperature gauges identified. Caterpillar D4 4G9986 Episode #119

The amount of effort put into every detail is very admirable, and time consuming! As I type this you made the same comment about time consuming, 😂.

If only they laid cat yellow eggs…😂

You are so fortunate to have your parts store! I am surprised that someone has not reproduced that ring. It seems as though there could be a good demand for such a part .

Sure love going through the CAT parts store with you.😂

Parts tobacco? Oh yeah remembering how I had 3 gauges and only one of them was any good. Usually the capillary tube gauges tend to have issues with the line being kinked or broken internally. Or the face is just so faced there is nothing readable. I like how CAT still offers genuine gauges not some aftermarket hideouts contraptions. The old gauges are probably a long term project to be restored. Actually it wonders me how CAT changed the gauges designs almost mid production.

Great job ...

The eggs! That was awesome!

Hi Aaron, those gauge plates are available from cat part numbers as follows,
Adapter 5B9683 1 required
Screw 1793339 4 required
Nut 4b2043 4 required
Spring washer 3b4501 4 required
Seal 6v3507 1 required

Those Cats have awesome looking gauges old school or updated. You'd better float those sweethearts before you try to make an omelette lol!

Aaron I seem to remember something about repop gauges and or parts on one of Squatch 253 Cat rebuilds. Perhaps he might be able to help you out with info on sourcing parts.

Ha guys, yes always looking for what you put in a save place LOL it's called getting older!! Getting really close now. Aussie Peter✌✌

sweet progress

I get so frustrated with myself because I’ll put something in a “special” place so I’ll remember where it is. Nope. Keep up the good work!
