upper and lower hitch plates is an  
important contributor to machine  
performance and component life. The  
Caterpillar spread hitch design provides  
excellent load distribution and bearing  
life. Both the upper and lower hitch pins  
pivot on double tapered roller bearings -  
improving durability by distributing  
both vertical and horizontal loads over a  
larger surface area. The wide opening  
also provides excellent service access.  
STRUCTURES. The articulated frame  
design of the 950H features a durable  
box-section engine frame and rigid  
four-plate loader tower that is  
robotically welded. Robotic welding  
creates frame joints with deep plate  
penetration welds and excellent fusion  
for maximum strength and durability.  
Linkage. The 950H linkage is a single-  
tilt Z-bar design. Z-bar linkage  
generates excellent breakout force and  
good rack back angle for better bucket  
loading and load retention.  
Lift arms are solid steel, providing  
superior strength with an excellent front  
end viewing area. The proven design  
offers excellent dump clearance and  
reach for exceptional matching to both  
on- and off-highway trucks.  
Engine End Frame (EEF). A full box-  
section engine end frame with hitch  
plates at the front end provides a strong,  
rigid structure that resists twisting and  
impact loads. The result is an extremely  
solid mounting platform for the engine,  
transmission, axle, ROPS and other  
accessories.  
Rotary sensors, for the tilt lever and lift  
circuit allow the operator to  
electronically set detent positions from  
the cab. A guard covers the sensor to  
protect it from damage.  
Non-Engine End Frame (NEEF). The  
non-engine end frame provides a solid  
mounting base for the front axle, lift  
arms, lift cylinders and tilt cylinders.  
The fabricated, four-plate loader tower  
absorbs the forces associated with  
loading, twisting and penetration.

A single mechanical lift cylinder with  
manual back-up opens the hood. The  
tilting hood provides excellent access to  
the engine compartment, and if  
necessary, the entire hood can be  
removed with the built-in lift points.  
With the hood closed, quick checks of  
engine oil levels and the coolant sight  
gauge can be completed through the  
side service doors.  
Panels located behind the tires lift up  
and can be removed for additional  
access. Roading fenders hinge from the  
rear and swing out allowing easier  
access to the engine compartment.  
COOLING SYSTEM. Cooling system  
access for clean-out and maintenance is  
outstanding. The perforated and  
corrugated grill minimizes debris build-  
up and swings out for easy cleaning and  
access to the cooling cores.  
The full-width air conditioning  
condenser and oil cooler cores swing  
out 45° to allow easy cleaning of the  
rear radiator face. Access panels on  
either side of the radiator support  
structure provide access to the front  
face of the radiator and ATAAC cores  
for easy cleaning.  
SIGHT GAUGES. Well-protected, yet  
easily visible sight gauges for the  
transmission, hydraulic oil and radiator  
coolant allow easy daily checks while  
reducing the risk of contaminants  
entering the systems.  
BRAKE WEAR INDICATORS. Axles are  
equipped with standard brake wear  
indicators, allowing a technician to  
easily determine when it is necessary to  
service the brakes.  
CAB. The entire operator station can be  
removed in about 45 minutes and is  
easy to re-attach. Quick disconnects are  
used so no wires need to be cut and no  
refrigerant is lost.  
Cab cleaning is made easy with  
channels on the cab floor and no  
threshold at the door - the floor can be  
swept or mopped out easily.  
ELECTRIC PRIMING PUMP. An electric  
fuel priming pump located on the  
primary fuel filter base eliminates the  
need to pre-fill or manually prime filters  
after a change, eliminating engine  
contamination.  
WINDSHIELD CLEANING PACKAGE. An  
optional windshield cleaning package  
consists of two steps for the loader front  
frame, two additional handrails and a  
folding mirror. This package allows  
access to the entire front windshield for  
easy cleaning.  
ENGINE COMPARTMENT ACCESS. The  
non-metallic hood on the 950H has  
been redesigned and restyled from  
previous models. Side and top panels  
are stronger due to more robust  
reinforcement ribs - the change in  
contour also adds to rigidity of the  
hood.  
ECOLOGY DRAINS. Engine,  
transmission and hydraulic oils can be  
easily drained with standard-equipment  
ecology drains. An axle oil ecology  
drain is optional.  
COMPLETE CUSTOMER SUPPORT. Cat  
field service technicians have the  
experience and tools necessary to  
service your loader on site. Technical  
experts at the dealership and Caterpillar
