I once worked for a construction company that ran a landfill. They had 836 caterpillar compactors there. I was called out on a service call to figure out why the blade wouldn't go up or down anymore. Well the crew shut the machine down for daily cleaning ,then afterward the blade refused to work at all. I plugged in the Cat laptop and went about diagnosing the problem. I accidently pressed the wrong key and the complete history of the machine came up on the screen. Some 460,000 gallons of diesel was burned up in it's lifetime , as were 4 engines and 2 transmissions and was started up with dry oil filters some 2 dozen times. I see why, they were heavy filled with oil and super heavy with arm fully extended to attempt to screw the filter in place. It was also super slick with oil spilled all over it as it had to be tipped to get into position. Now , with that said. I found the diagnostics and found the blade control had no power going to it. All the rocker switches were worn , not legible labels. Someone switched off the rocker switch for the blade control system when cleaning the cab. Why would CAT put such a switch right on the right armrest. Found out that it goes thru the ECM circuit for engine controls... Sure , Why Not ??
