catmastertech :

Is this equipped with the Electro-Hydraulic controls with the short finger-tip controls?

catmastertech :

Do you have the serial number?

Customer :

yes i dont have the number with me

catmastertech :

Is this an open cab machine?

Customer :

no closed

catmastertech :

How many hours are on the unit?

Customer :

about 8100

catmastertech :

Have you ever had the finger tip contols rebuilt?

Customer :

no and some times it wont me i shout the machine off and back on it works

Customer :

the bucket curl works fine

catmastertech :

The lever and the guide blocks are worn out.

catmastertech :

The problem is when your lever is not in the center when you start using the lever, it will lock out the control untill it sees the center point again.

catmastertech :

It must return to center or it locks out the control.

catmastertech :

I have repaired many 980G and 988G machines for this same issue.

Customer :

in the cab in the hand control it self and is there a rebild kit is it hard to fix

catmastertech :

No kit, all separate parts.

catmastertech :

It is not hard but, lots of small parts and springs.

catmastertech :

Then it must be calibrated to the sensors.

Customer :

do i have to take apart both curl and lift

catmastertech :

Yes.

Customer :

cat dealer fix

catmastertech :

They can but, them them to bring the part to rebuild the ccontrol levers and to be able to calibrate it when they finish. Make it a one day, one trip job.

catmastertech :

OOPS-- make them bring the parts---

Customer :

yes i can tell to do both 1 trip

catmastertech :

It will take at least two hours and could run into four if they have trouble.

Customer :

ok thanks you were a big help

catmastertech :

Your welcome.
