    Power Train844 power train components deliver dependable, reliable performance customers expect

    from Cat wheel dozers.

    The Caterpillar 3412E HydraulicElectronic Unit Injection engine is ratedat 466 kW Net (625 hp) at 2000 rpm.

    HEUI fuel system and Electronic

    Control Module (ECM) deliver power

    and efficiency in the most demanding

    applications. Electronic control

    provides many benefits:

    Automatic altitude deration

    Elevated low idle

    Cold weather starting mode

    Acceleration delay on startup to

    reduce engine wear

    Advanced diagnostic capabilities

    Automatic control of ether aid

    Complete control of injection timingwithout concern for cam profile

    limitations. Complete control of

    engine speed provides advantages in

    lower emissions, quieter operation,

    reduced smoke, improved hot or cold

    starting, white smoke cleanup and

    high altitude operation.

    Complete control of injectionduration. The HEUI system willdecrease proportionately with engine

    speed but can also electronically

    control the oil supply pressure. This

    provides improved engine

    performance and decreased fuel

    consumption.

    Injection rate shaping reduces nitrousoxide (NOx) emissions and reduces

    engine combustion noise.

    1 Aftercooler lowers inlet chargetemperature. Reduces thermal stresses

    that can cause premature wear of

    pistons, rings and liners.

    2 High injection pressures,

    independent of engine speed,decrease smoke and emissions while

    improving response.

    3 Oil-cooled pistons and full-length,water-cooled cylinder liners providemaximum heat transfer for longer

    component life.

    4 Engine oil cooler maintains optimumoil temperature for proper cooling

    and lubrication.

    Engine cooling provided by Multi-

    Row Modular radiator. Hydrostatic

    fan drive gives the standard coolingpackage 110F ambient capability.

    3 533 mm (21") planetary, electronic,power shift transmission. This is thesame transmission found in the 990

    Series II wheel loader. Electronic

    shifting provides smooth consistent

    shifts with finger tip controls housed

    in the STIC controller. The

    transmission is built around a center

    shaft with a gear set cluster stacked

    end-to-end to distribute load,

    conserve space and transfer energy

    efficiently. Large diameter perimeter

    clutches coupled with high contactplanetary gear sets provide high

    torque carrying capacity for long,

    trouble-free life.

    Axle-shaft, oil-disc brakes are fullyhydraulic, completely sealed and ne

    need adjustment. Disc face grooves

    provide cooling even when brakes a

    applied for a long, fade resistant life

    This design provides larger cooli

    oil reservoir and thicker separato

    plates than conventional brake

    designs. This gives the brake high

    heat dissipation rates giving it hig

    capacity than conventional oil-di

    brakes.

    The location of the brake reduces

    service time. Conventional brake

    require final drive disassembly. T

    axle-shaft brake design allows br

    service while leaving the final dri

    intact. Reduced service time and

    machine downtime keeps operati

    costs low.

    Bevel gear sets and differentials a

    common with the 990 Series II w

    loader.

    Impeller Clutch Torque Converter

    allows the operator to modulate rimpull

    from 100 percent to 20 percent of

    maximum rimpull. After 20 percent of

    maximum rimpull is achieved, further

    pedal travel applies the brake. The

    torque converter is equipped with a

    lockup clutch for direct drive efficiency.

    1 Impeller clutch. Locked in fullyengaged position for maximum

    engine power transfer.

    2 Lockup clutch. Provides direct driveefficiency in all three gears with

    higher speeds and improved fuel

    economy on long distance dozing.

    StructuresAdvanced design and materials provide superior strength.

    Structures on the 844 are more than 90percent robotically welded. Thisprovides highly consistent welds with

    deep plate penetration and excellent

    plate fusion. The benefit is greater

    fatigue strength and longer life than

    with conventional welding methods.

    Castings in the engine end-frame areused in critical high-stress areas to help

    spread the load and reduce the number

    of parts. The casting for the rear

    trunnion mount also serves as an enginemount, which provides a load path for

    the weight and torque of the engine to

    travel down to the trunnion and then on

    through to the axle. Other castings used

    in the engine-end frame include: front

    trunnion mounts, steering cylinder

    brackets, articulation stops and lock

    link.

    1 Box-section rear frame absorbs shockloads and torsional forces, solidly

    maintaining alignment for hitch pins

    and driveline.

    2 Four-plate front frame providesmaximum structural strength to resist

    twisting loads during dozing

    applications.

    3 Upper and lower hitch pins pivot ondouble-tapered roller bearings and are

    shaped to direct stress away from theend of the weld, resulting in a

    smoother transition of stress loads.

    4 Spread-hitch design helps square upthe frame and provides more

    clearance for hydraulic lines. Double

    tapered roller bearings and hardened

    pins resist both horizontal and

    vertical loads to increase life. The

    spread hitch also makes service

    access easier.

    Engine and transmission mounts aredesigned to use mushroom and cup-

    shaped ISO mounts, reducing

    component vibration and sound levels.

    The engine mounts directly to the rear

    cross member, simplifying and

    improving load transfer structure.

    1 Two separate, hydraulic systems.One system is for implements and

    brakes while the other is for steering

    and hydraulically-driven engine

    cooling fan. The benefits of the

    separate hydraulic systems are

    increased cooling and elimination of

    cross-contamination. If one system

    runs hot or is contaminated, the otherwill be unaffected.

    2 Blade control. Armrest-mountedcontrol lever sends signals to a pilot

    valve for tilt/tip control and to a main

    valve for lift control.

    Tandem vane pumps providehydraulic flow for the lift, tilt and tip

    functions. The circuit is well balanced

    to provide control when all functions

    are used simultaneously.

    Well-proven pumps, valves and

    cylinders are common with thoseused on large, Caterpillar track-type

    tractors.

    For improved serviceability, allhydraulic pumps are mounted on a

    single pump drive.

    3 Load Sensing Steering with STICControl System is a revolutionary

    system that integrates steering and

    transmission into a single controller.

    The variable displacement pump

    maximizes machine performance by

    directing power through the steering

    system only when needed. More

    efficient use of power results indecreased fuel consumption and

    higher production.

    Simple side-to-side motions of the

    operators left arm turn the machine

    right or left.

    Transmission shifting forward,

    neutral, or reverse is controlled by the

    operators fingers, and gear selection

    is controlled by the operators thumb.

    Caterpillars XT-3 and XT-5 hose, O-ringface seals and large-bore lift and tilt

    cylinders top off the hydraulic system,delivering the performance and

    durability owners expect. Reliable

    components reduce leaks and help

    protect the environment.

    Hydrostatic cooling fan is used forengine, transmission and hydraulic

    cooling. A variable displacement pu

    drives the fans hydraulic motor so

    fan speed varies with rpm. The fan

    draws only the power needed for

    cooling, reducing fuel consumption

    increasing efficiency.

    Spacious cab design, incorporatinginnovations for operator comfort and

    productivity, include excellent viewing

    area, interior sound levels below 75

    dB(A), Caterpillar Contour Series seat,

    standard coat hook, cup holder, storage

    bin, sun visor, intermittent wet-arm

    wipers, and is radio-ready for two-way

    radios.

    1 STIC Control System is arevolutionary system that integrates

    steering and transmission into a

    single controller. Simple side-to-side

    motions of the operators left arm

    turn the machine right or left.

    Transmission shifting forward,

    neutral or reverse is controlled by the

    operators fingers, and gear selection

    is controlled by the operatorsthumb. These factors combine to

    produce a fluid motion that reduces

    effort and allows the operator to

    work the machine for long periods of

    time with little or no fatigue.

    2 Left foot pedal operates ImpellerClutch Torque Converter for about

    the first inch of travel, then engages

    the brakes. Within the first inch of

    pedal travel, rimpull can be

    controlled from 100 percent to 20

    percent.

    3 Contour Series seat with airsuspension and retractable seat belt

    is designed for comfort and support.

    Seat cushions reduce pressure on the

    lower back and thighs while

    allowing unrestricted arm and leg

    movement. The seat has three height

    levels. The retractable seat belt

    remains off the floor and is easy for

    the operator to reach.

    4 Quick-shift feature allows quickercycle times by shifting from 1st

    forward to 2nd reverse.

    5 Throttle lock allows operator topreset the engine speed and

    concentrate on productivity. The

    throttle lock can be deactivated

    pressing the brake pedal.

    6 Computerized Monitoring Syste(CMS) uses a vacuum fluorescendisplay allowing gauges to be ea

    read in direct sunlight or at nigh

    The three category operator aler

    system is retained as part of the

    CMS. In addition, the system

    provides four diagnostic modes,

    resulting in easy system

    troubleshooting and minimum

    downtime.

    7 Seat-mounted hydraulic bladecontrols are attached to the righ

    side of the seat. They are adjustafore and aft, with a height-adjus

    armrest so that operators of any

    can find a comfortable operating

    position. Single lever control all

    operator to control blade functio

    lift/lower, tip and tilt. Switch co

    on top of control lever allows op

    of single or dual-tilt operation.

    8 Torque converter lockup clutch

    activated when operator presses

    switch on the console. The 844

    automatically shifts from torqueconverter drive to direct drive w

    a set speed in each gear is reach

    providing faster travel speeds an

    less fuel consumption.

    Large, viewing area enhances viewin all directions. Bonded glass in th

    front window eliminates distracting

    metal frames with the best operator

    visibility to the blade.
