I am not the strongest on the Funks. We did lots to this one just to get it up and somewhat running. Lots of rework in the front end. Looks like the corrosion got to the PCM good. Was yours under the dash? That's where ours is. Mice got into the dash above the controller but not into the wiring for the PCM. Spent a couple days just band aiding the dash into working again. Hydraulic oil was mostly water. Just trying to make it as reliable as possibly for the transport guys.

I don't have it in pdf. You can find the CTM147 or CTM148 at either epcatalogs.com or at therpairmanual.com Both are good sites I've used. I don't remember where the PCM was excatly. I'm thinking it was under the dash by the fuse panel. The relay board was under the rear window and was exposed to the elements.

I don't work on much Cat equipment. There's plenty of those experts running around here. I have a tendency to stick to the Deere side of life.
