SW MN | I concur with your comments regarding the pinion gear. Seem to remember that Cat did some type of exotic heat treatment and polishing to the pinion gear teeth to stretch the life as much as they could without having to redesign the final drives for the 95E. On the other hand, if your engine is making power (ie: no bad injectors, etc.), you really shouldn't need to crank it up, since it is supposed to produce about 435 HP (with power growth), and max ballast is 41000 lbs., calculating to 94 lb/hp, which is about perfect. In reality, these machines were barely able to hit max ballast unless it was equipped with PTO and all the ballast weight packages. If it seems like it needs more power, I suspect the engine has some type of issue. | |
