Description
The Caterpillar Cat 205 Excavator Workshop Service Manual is the complete service and repair documentation for the Cat 205 crawler excavator, serial prefix 3HC, covering S/N 3HC00001-up and the production years 1984 through 1990. It is a shop-level reference: engine, hydraulic, electrical and undercarriage work, written for the procedures a technician actually performs. Mechanics, independent repair shops, fleet operators and owners who handle their own repairs all use it the same way, as the source of the torque values, wear limits and test pressures that a machine of this age demands. This edition is supplied as a searchable PDF, over 2,000 pages, organized by system so you can go straight to the procedure in front of you.
