[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 109923, member: 2510"] Not familiar with the Cat machines, but it does sound like a corrosion issue. It could very well be a ground, the stud probably won't come out, but cleaning the ring terminals that go on it and if you can get it with a wire wheel on a Dremel or such and get some bare metal on the framework that should work. Was the battery actually dead, or do you not know for sure? Just wondering if there might be some parasite drain going on; with everything shut off there shouldn't be any spark when you connect the negative cable to the battery, if you get any that means something is pulling current. If there is a current draw, you can put a DMM set to amps between the neg cable and neg battery post, it will tell you the current draw and you can pull fuses until it goes away; that will be your culprit. If you need to start it to move to a better location (closer to tools, warmer, etc), you should be able to jump from the battery cable on the starter to the pole on the solenoid that the switch goes to. You might have to jump the hold coil on the fuel solenoid, or wire it back if it's external. No clue if any of the interlocks will let you move it, hopefully someone familiar with this model will chime in. [/QUOTE]
