A Caterpillar Certified Powertrain Rebuild by Hawthorne Cat can get your machine running like new again. A Certified Powertrain Rebuild is ideal for machines operating in harsh environments such as landfills. Recently, Hawthorne Cat completed a machine rebuild on an 836H landfill compactor that had been working daily at the Otay Landfill. The project was a success and the unit was delivered working and looking like new  - with a fresh coat of paint and a comprehensive certified 3 year, 6,000 hour warranty.

Coolant or cooling-system problems contribute to more than 50% of all engine failures. These failures can be due to inadequate cooling system maintenance, incorrect concentration, poor operational procedures such as extensive lugging or inadequate cool-down procedures, or system problems such as stray electrical current or block-heater failure. These problems will eventually affect the oil condition, and may cause oil oxidation or anti-wear additive dropout.
