Caterpillar 112 knuckle buster restoration part 6

On this instalment I remove the D315 engine from the Caterpillar 112 motor grader in order to repair the pinion on the pony engine.

I had to pull the engine on a similar Cat 12 70D grader because a rod in the starting engine linkage broke and fell into the clutch. We took the engine out and made repairs , then replaced it, only to notice we forgot to install the gasket to the clutch housing. Surprisingly it wasn't that hard using our little backhoe to lift it back out.😊 Interesting how the two shafts fit into the clutch, an inner and outer. One dives the controls and the other moves the machine.

A friendly succession: if you have the engine already out see if the clutch fingers need any adjustment. I'm not sure if these things have a access hole that you can use later for any adjustment job? Don't see one in the video? It amazes me how mice can find there way into places that seem impossible. Hopefully the ring gear on the flywheel is ok? Was the generator on the grader engine a standard thing or a option?
