    Preferred engine oil for 3126b

    You will not find a better filter than what CAT makes. I also found the CAT dealer has cheaper filters than the local auto part store. Win win my my book!

    Preferred engine oil for 3126b

The reason for T4 as opposed to T5 or T6 is T4 is approved oil for the transmission. Rotella as opposed to Delo is...

    Roof drips water.

    For something simple like a gasket I am planing on using a a vector graphic editor like Inkscape. The cutter can use a DXF file but I have more (albeit little) experience making .SVG files. Something like a casket I really don't need a CAD program... As for size it is a small crafting machine...

    looking for picture of the data/warning plates

    Well the ones I have are unreadable and faded. Here is what I am looking for. Clips from the TM to show. The TM isn't working for what I want to try and that's why I am asking for pictures. If I make this work I could send the files or make some up for a nominal fee... Not looking to get rich...

    Roof drips water.

    I bought one of them decal/poster board cutters. One of the things I want to make is gaskets! I have installed LED lights on the cab with the foam rubber gaskets... and they leak... Maybe i'll try a thinker gasket as soon as I figure out the cutter.

    looking for picture of the data/warning plates

    One thing GovPlanet doesn't hire is anyone who knows how to take a good picture... I have looked at thousands of pics there and haven't found what I want. I know there are people here who have non faded plates on their trucks.... and most of the pictures I have seen here are way better. When I...
