This is the full repair set for the Cat 214B and 214B FT wheel excavators, 1988 to 2000, covering the 3114/3116/3126 engines, hydraulics, power train and electrical. You get Testing and Adjusting with real numbers (pilot pressure, swing relief, pump cutoff), Disassembly and Assembly for the engine and vehicle systems, the 3116 supplement with the connecting rod torque procedure, plus MUI governor and 37-MT/41-MT/42-MT starting motor service. One honest note: about a quarter of the 3050 pages is bundled dealer software documentation (EquipmentManager and Product Link telematics manuals), not wrench material. The rest is the genuine shop content, including the electrical wiring schematic printed for the 214B, 214B FT and 224B.
