Component Shipped In
All components are
shipped into the CRC
using a return
authorization form called
a CRA (Component
Return Authorization).
This form provides us
with all proper
information to open our
work order and proceed
with the appropriate
repair option.
Steamed & Drained
All components should
be drained prior to
leaving the customers
site.
In the event that fluids
are still present, they will
be drained and the
component will be
cleaned before it is
brought into our facility.
Disassembly
Each type of
component has a
designated area for
overhaul. The
component is placed in
it’s area and
disassembled. All
parts are quickly
inspected for obvious
problems during the
disassembly process.
Thoroughly Cleaned Parts
After the component is
fully disassembled all the
parts are sent to the
cleaning area where they
are placed in a large wash
cabinet. The cabinet uses
180 deg. cleaning solution
at high pressure to clean
the parts. Once the parts
are removed they are
steam cleaned, dried and
sprayed with a light rust
inhibitor to protect the part
until assembly.
Recondition/Inspect Parts
All clean parts are
then hand inspected
for reusability,
gaskets are removed
and all sealing/mating
surfaces are
reconditioned for
reuse.
Lining Out Parts
The parts are then
delivered back to
components designated
area of recondition. All the
new and reusable parts
are then prepped and
staged (lined out) with new
gaskets, seals and
bearings. A complete line
out helps prevent last
minute delays in the
assembly process.
Assemble Sub Components
Sub components are
assembled prior to the
main component. This
aids in an accurate and
efficient final assembly
process.
Main Component Assembly
The main component
assembly process has
many check points that
must be checked off by a
Lead Technician before
the assembly process
can continue. This
process helps ensure a
quality product as well as
preventing delays in
shipment caused by
repairs being made at
test time.
Fuel System Testing
Small engine fuel
systems are tested
and adjusted prior to
installation. This
helps reduce issues
when testing the
complete engine.
Engine Testing
All engines are
dyno tested and
adjusted to meet
factory standards.
Detailed dyno
reports are
generated with
each engine.
Transmission Valve Testing
All transmission control
valves are tested and
adjusted prior to
installation. This helps
reduce test times and last
minute delays to
shipment.
This test bench was designed
and built by a Cashman
employee. He has now sold valve
test benches to other CAT dealers
who have toured our facility and
saw the benefit of having this test
option.
Transmission Testing
All transmissions are
fully tested prior to
shipment. Each gear
and direction is
operated and the
pressures and flows
are checked.
Torque Convertor Testing
Torque convertors are
tested for leakage as well
as having load applied to
ensure lockup. Tooling
that allows us to apply a
load to convertors was
designed and built by
Cashman employees.
Caterpillar does not test
convertors as thoroughly
as we do.
Wheel Group Testing
Our wheel group test
station was one of the
first pieces of test
equipment built by
Cashman employees.
We are capable of testing
the brake and the
Doucone seals with fluid.
This test station also
rotates the wheel which
makes setting bearing
preload a breeze.
Component Painting
All components
receive a fresh
coat of paint
prior to
shipment.
Painting helps
to protect them
from the
elements.
Component Shipped Out
Finally the
components are
returned to the
customer for
installation.
Or, if the component
is an exchange unit, it
will be placed into
stock for resale.
