Will it start?? Huge machine pulled from the Boneyard!



This Cat 16H grader was owned by a large mining company when a little over a decade ago it was pulled from service, drained of all its fluids, and abandoned in their boneyard for unknown reasons. But recently my buddy Quinton with Iron King Inc bought to use as a parts machine and had it hauled back to his shop. Before dismantling it we thought it would be fun to see if we could get the Caterpillar 3406C engine to fire up. We disconnected all the drivetrain and hydraulic components, went through the fluids, connected enough wiring to run the engine, end sent some power to the starter to see what would happen!

  1. Ole2stroker YouTube would love that 12v92. He is a Detroit King or one of them. Check the rack to make sure nothing is stuck and she will run like it was turned off yesterday. They are known for tough reliable service.

  3. Just a couple of little notes, not all of caterpillars were made in the US. I've hauled i can't remember how many parts that were made in Mexico to plants throughout the US. Caterpillar has a huge plant in Mexico where they make parts & equipment that's distributed throughout the US, mainly into Illinois, Kansas, & North Carolina.

    Also caterpillar hasn't made a truck engine for years. If you see a truck with a a caterpillar engine, its going to be an old truck. It was back in the 90's when caterpillar quit making truck engines, when the federal government started putting so many regulations on truck emissions.
