Caterpiller Parts and Equipment

[RidgeRunner]

UPDATE - I am not sure anyone here could give a Fat Cats rearend. BUT I think CAT is a joke and putting it up here is thereputic.. If anyone OBJECTS Please let me know and I will cease and desist.
The parts I got were some aftermarket "CHEAP" parts according to my Caterpillar rep. They rolled the dice and ordered the "cheap" import parts that are "inferior to the real mccoy" (CAT OEM parts are also imported for the most part). The cost for CAT's version of the sleeve nut is over $25 each plus shipping and handling. NO BUENO! Still cross checking other manufacturers brands first. These are going back for a refund and credit. Meanwhile the equipment was down for about a week to get it this far along. CAT really doesn't even make this machine. It is a Mitsubishi Lift Truck with a Mitsubishi everything. ONE tough machine mind you, but you pay extra for the Yellow paint and the CAT logos when you purchase and every time you buy replacement parts.
