    Ripped off

    I'm addressing this to the snowmobiler who found my black bag on the trail outside of trout lake in the up, then rifled through it, stole my tool kit and a quart of oil. Then proceeded to throw my bag back in the snow and drive away. Thankfully some honest folks found my bag and because my...

    So at what mileage does everyone recommend to rebuild the entire motor? I have 11,500 miles on a 99 Cat ZL500. I ringed it at 6000 miles and I know I should at least put pistons in it this summer, but what about the bottom end? I've used Amsoil her entire life and have had no mechanical issues...

    Clutches and gearing

    CAT 580 HIGH IDLE

    99 Cat 580 is idling at 3000 rpm. Last time I started it a couple weeks ago it idled perfect. I started it last night and waited for the idle to come down as she warmed up. Never did, it stayed at 3000 rpm even with the engine at normal operating temp.
