This is the full Caterpillar service repair manual for the 216B3 skid steer loader, the B3-series machine built from roughly 2008 to 2014 with the Cat/Mitsubishi diesel and hydrostatic drive. Inside you get complete teardown and assembly coverage: basic engine work including crankshaft, bearings and camshaft gear installation with factory torque specs, air inlet and exhaust, cooling, fuel and lube systems. It covers the power train from drive pumps and motors down to the final drives, the main and pilot hydraulic circuits with pressure test specs, charging and starting circuits with wiring, plus frame, cab, loader linkage and work tool couplers. If you are chasing a weak drive pump or doing an in-frame on the engine, this is the book Cat dealer techs work from.
