When did the caterpillar Challenger 65 come out?
Our family farm have around 10+ Caterpillars on our ranch, from D-3’s to D-8s, so we have worked on Caterpillars quite a bit. Until a week ago all of out Cat’s have all had metal tracks but we recently purchased a 1988 Caterpillar Challenger 65 from a neighbor.
What happens if you blow a tire on a cat Challenger 65?
A blowout on that tire will normally run the track off and against the frame and that will end up ruining the track. That vintage tractor also had a seperate reservoir for the steering and remote hydraulics. Both those reservoirs used fluid that was incompatable with the transmission fluid.

Why is my cat Challenger 65 leaking oil?
It is very common for the valves to leak a bit internally, and given a long enough time (2000 hrs) of operation, the transmission will be overfilled with steering oil and you’ll be low on fluid in the steering reservoir. Doesn’t hurt the steering if you keep that tank topped up.

What kind of oil does a cat Challenger use?
Does anyone know at what year, model or serial number Cat changed from the separate oil for tranny and hydraulics and the flip flop valve to the same oil for both. Farmer Joe, All the flat track Challengers up to the C models had an oil reservoir for the steering and another for the hydraulics. The transmission reservoir was the transmission sump.
What should the pressure be on a cat Challenger 65?
This may not help your particular problem but if the air bags are low in pressure that also can hinder the machine from turning. On a 95E we had it turned best at about 85 psi. Anyway I hope you are fixed up already. Cheers.

What happens if the left tire blows out on a cat Challenger?
If the fronts haven’t been foamed, check the inside left tire. They seem to have a tendency to crack there on the sidewall first. A blowout on that tire will normally run the track off and against the frame and that will end up ruining the track. That vintage tractor also had a seperate reservoir for the steering and remote hydraulics.
