CAT 3116s
Anyone have a digital version of the 3116 series?

I have the tapes somewhere at the office, but I don't have a VHS anymore...I know I can hunt them down and have them converted. But, before I do I thought I'd ask.... Just thought I'd take a look at them again as a refresher....
 
That’s be a nice resource. Didn’t know videos were available.

Hmmm, I didn't know they existed either, I'd be interested in hearing more about them (topics covered, how in depth they are, etc). I would also be willing to chip in on the cost to get them converted to digital if you go that route.

It was a series of VHS tapes.... I have them somewhere...

I can't speak to how great they are, because I honestly don't remember. I do know I watched all of them (I think I have a CD somewhere too) and it was nice to see...I didn't have much experience at the time, and not much more now.
 
The videos have not been available from Caterpillar since the lat 90's and were never offered in a DVD format. They are specifically for marine versions of the 3100 series Cat engines and are very well done. They cover the basics of general engine maintenance, but don't expect a work shop manual.

I have them converted into a digital DVD format that can be played on a computer or can be burned to a DVD and played on a set top box. it covers

Marine Engine Parts and Programs
Lubrication System
Air Intake & Exhaust
The Cooling System
Fuel System Orientation
Fuel Injection System
Fuel Injector Testing
Injector Timing & Syncronization
Fuel Setting

I also have PDF's of the scanned manuals for 3116/3126 maintenance, CAT engines, marine application, and marine propulsion. It took me a long time to put this together. If you'd like to share in the cost (donation), I can dig them up and make it available. It's about 5gigs in size. PM me if interested.

Do you also have the CAT parts manual?
Come to think of it...Didn't I buy them from you? Do you want an additional donation or was my original sufficient? :D

USB drive would be great... I think an 8GB USB is like $2...
 
I should also note that a portion of the donations will go to buy Frank Webster a gift for helping all of us CAT guys over the years. Something really Yankee, because he likes the northeast so much.
 
Count me in...following.

I would like the video also.
Let me know donation amount and where to send it.
Thank You.
 
Ok, getting the video uploaded. Shoot me a PM if interested if you haven't already done so.
