This is the factory Cat SIS repair bundle for the first-generation 216, 226, 232 and 242 skid steers, the pre-B machines with the 3024C engine in the 216/232 and the 3034 in the 226/242. Both engine books are in here whole: head, block, crank, fuel injection, cooling and lube. Beyond the engine you get the hydrostatic drive and hydraulic system with actual test and adjust procedures - pump flow, main and line relief, charge and pilot pressure - plus final drives, chains, axles, brakes, the loader linkage, cab and controls, R134a air conditioning, and full hydraulic and electrical schematic sheets. These are gauge-and-wrench machines, so the manual diagnoses with pressure taps and multimeter tests, not fault codes.
