• Shipping Restrictions: Ships to the lower 48 US states only
• Note: Core only - tanks, side frames, hoses, cap, shroud and hardware are not included. This is the lighter of the two cores Caterpillar catalogues for these loaders at 70 lbs; the other runs 119 lbs and also fits the IT62H. Ships LTL freight; inspect on arrival.

Common Use Case or Symptoms:

Order this when a 950H or 962H runs warm through a shift with a clean pack, or when the core will not hold a pressure test - with published flow rates on this element, a core that has silted internally shows up as reduced cooling long before it ever drips.

Why Choose Broken Tractor?

• ✅ Published Flow Figures: 6.35 fins per inch, 18.45 litres internal volume, 352 litres per minute of water - a specification set most cores are never given.
• ✅ Leak Tested Construction: Caterpillar specifies a 150 kPa air test on this core, which is the standard the replacement should be built to.
• ✅ Seventy Pounds Not A Hundred: The lighter of the two cores catalogued for these loaders, which is the fastest way to confirm which one is on the machine.
