This is the full factory repair library for the Cat 312B and 312B L, not an operator's booklet. It walks the 3054 engine from cylinder head to crankshaft, covers the Stanadyne injection pump with testing and timing adjustment, and gives real numbers - wastegate opens at 88 +/- 4 kPa (12.8 +/- 0.6 psi), exhaust manifold pulls to 44 N.m (33 lb ft). Hydraulics get the deepest coverage: main and pilot valve circuits, travel motor and anti-reaction valves, swing parking-brake solenoid, drift-reduction valves and the blade circuit. Add final drive and swing gear work, track adjuster and idler service, boom/stick/bucket pin replacement, 15 bucket configurations, full torque tables, and foldout hydraulic and electrical schematics for S/N 6SW, 9NW, 9FS and 2KW machines.
