T1660M Specifications

POWER UNIT

Caterpillar® model C-27 turbo charged and after-cooled diesel engine, rated 800 hp (597 kW) @ 2,100 rpm. Two-stage air cleaner assembly; 24 volt electric start; cooling system for 125 degree (58ºC) ambient temperature operation; muffler and tachometer.

DIGGING CHAIN DRIVE
The 11.2" (28.4 cm) headshaft is driven from both sides by a roller chain arrangement directly behind a heavy duty differential, which is powered by a power shift transmission with integral three-element torque converter. Four digging chain speeds are available to suit varied digging conditions. Chain speeds: 1st gear-221 fpm (70 m/min); 2nd gear-317 fpm (97 m/min); 3rd gear-411 fpm 125 m/min); 4th gear-536 fpm (163 m/min). All shafts, chains and bearings are designed to accommodate the full output of the torque converter and transmission in the stall condition (approx. 2.3 times normal operation torque). Roller chain tension is adjustable for both stages with eccentric hubs. All drive chains and sprockets are fully enclosed and oil bath lubricated.

DIGGING CHAIN
Caterpillar-style D-8 size digging chain for single-, double- and triple chain applications. Boom furnished with hydro-adjusters to maintain proper chain adjustment. Rectangular steel cutter bar plates of varying widths and thicknesses to which tooth holders are welded to accept rotating, conical, carbide-tipped digging teeth. Plates are bolted to digging chain. 48" (122 cm) diameter forged tailwheels with heavy-duty seals and bearings are standard. Boom equipped with replaceable, abrasive-resistant wear plates on top and bottom.

DIGGING BOOM
Six sizes of booms equipped depending on digging width selections:
16" - 20" ( 41 - 51 cm): single chain arrangement w/ 0" chain ctrs*
28" - 36" ( 71 - 91 cm): double chain arrangement w/ 12" chain ctrs*
32" - 42" ( 81 -107 cm): double chain arrangement w/ 16" chain ctrs
42" - 48" (107 -122 cm): double chain arrangement w/ 22" chain ctrs
54" - 60" (137 -152 cm): double chain arrangement w/ 32" chain ctrs.
62" - 72" (157 -183 cm): triple chain arrangement w/ 22" chain ctrs.
