System Notes — COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system covers the radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan and fan drive, coolant hoses, clamps, the surge tank and the belts that drive it. It holds engine temperature inside the range where clearances and oil film stay correct. Failures are usually slow and then sudden: a hose softens and balloons before it bursts, a water pump seal starts weeping from the weep hole, a thermostat sticks partly open so the engine runs cold and burns more fuel. On construction sites the radiator also packs with dust and debris, which raises pressure across the core and finds the weakest hose or clamp first.
System Notes — OPERATOR STATION
The operator station covers the cab structure, seat and suspension, glass, wipers, door hardware, pedals, joysticks, armrests, HVAC ducting and the interior trim. It is the group that decides how tolerable a ten-hour shift feels. Wear here is driven by daily entry and exit, sun exposure and dust: seat suspensions sag, door struts lose charge, wiper linkages seize, and rubber seals harden until the cab leaks in rain. Parts in this group are replaced when a control feels vague, a latch no longer holds, or the cab no longer keeps dust and water out — small items, but the ones operators complain about first.
