1 Caterpillar 3456 Diesel Engine. Is basedon one of the most successful enginesoffered by Caterpillar, the 3406E. The3456 is Tier 2 compliant and featuresincreased horsepower and efficient fuelmanagement for quick response, highproductivity and exceptional service life.A new, sculptured cylinder block providesgreater strength and is lighter weight.

• 49 Percent Torque Rise. Provideshigh lugging force during dozing andacceleration in high rimpull conditions.The torque curve effectively matchesthe transmission shift points to providemaximum efficiency and fastercycle times.

• Pistons. Three-ring, aluminum alloywhich are cam-ground, tapered andcooled by oil spray.

• Crankshaft Bearings. Steel backed,copper-bonded.

• Pressure Lubricated. With full-flowfiltered and cooled oil.

• Starting System. Direct-electric, 24-voltwith ether, 75-amp alternator and two12-volt, 190 amp-hour batteries.

• Electronic Unit Injection (EUI). Is aproven high-pressure, direct injectionfuel system that electronically monitorsoperator demands and sensor inputs tooptimize engine performance.

• Air Cleaners. Are dry-type radial sealwith primary and secondary elementsand precleaner.

• ADEM™ III (Advanced Diesel EngineManagement III) System . Controls thefuel injector solenoids to start and stopfuel injection. This system providesautomatic altitude compensation, airfilter restriction indication and willnot allow the engine to fire until ithas oil pressure, acting as a cold startprotection and a form of pre-lube.Includes cold weather starting mode,elevated low idle, advanced diagnosticcapabilities, automatic altitude derationand automatic ether aid control.

• Air to Air Aftercooler (ATAAC) System.Provides a separate cooling system forthe intake manifold air. The ATAACsystem routes hot compressed air fromthe turbo and cools it with a single pass,air-to-air aluminum heat exchanger.The cooled, compressed air greatlyreduces the emissions produced,meeting Tier 2 requirements.

• Airflow matched turbocharger withpower rating helps reduce emissions.

• 19 percent more bearing area allowsthe engine to operate at the maximumcylinder pressure.

• Higher cylinder pressure capabilityhelps reduce fuel consumption andimproves high altitude operation.

• Cylinder head exhaust port sleevesreduce heat rejection which resultsin less heat transfer into the waterjacket system.

2 Separate Engine Cooling System.Isolates the radiator and fan from theengine compartment for more efficientcooling and allows for a sloped hoodfor increased viewing.

5 Heavy-Duty Axles. Feature optional axleoil coolers, permanently lubed universaljoints and stronger axle components inboth the differentials and final drives forincreased performance, serviceabilityand durability. Conventional differentialis standard.

• Final Drives. Feature planetary reductionat each wheel. Torque is developed atthe wheel, which gives less stress at theaxle shafts. The planetary units are oil-

bath lubricated and can be removedindependently from the wheels andbrakes. Ring gears are spleened to theaxle housing. Proprietary gear cuttingand head treating methods are used inthe manufacturing and bronze thrustwashers interface with the sun gear/bearing retainer.

• Free-Floating Axle Shafts. Can beremoved independent of the wheelsand planetaries for quick and easyserviceability.

• Optional Axle Oil Cooling System.Features two circuits that circulate oilfrom the differentials through an oil-to-air cooler and a filter back to the brakes.This system provides increased oil lifeand improves component performanceand durability. The system automaticallyturns on and off at a preset oil temperature.

6 Axle-Shaft, Oil Disk Brakes. Areadjustment-free, fully hydraulic andcompletely sealed. Disc face groovesprovide cooling, even when brakesare applied, for a long, fade-resistantservice life.

• Location of the brakes improvesserviceability. The axle-shaft brakedesign allows brake service whileleaving the final drive intact.

• Axle-shaft brakes require less forceby operating on the low torque sideof the axle. Combined with improvedaxle oil circulation for increasedcooling, the oil-enclosed, multiple-disc brake design improves durability.

• Service Brakes. Are four wheel,hydraulic, oil dipped multiple discbrakes that are adjustment-free,completely enclosed and allowmodulated engagement withoutslack adjusters.

• Secondary Brakes. Are fully modulatedand the front and rear service brakecircuits are isolated so one circuitcan operate if pressure drops in theother circuit.
