Snow Buckets
Solicitation: FA469025Q0054 21 August 2025
Q1: Before we quote this bucket, I need to know if the coupler has vertical square pins instead of horizontal as requested. We do not know of a coupler with a 5” top tube and horizontal pins for a CAT966H. The CAT Fusion coupler (Print attached) has vertical pins and fits the 5” top tube you are referring to.
A1: It is not a fusion coupler, it is a top tube, the CAT loader was built for military specs.
Q2: I spoke to a representative at Caterpillar and he said they would require the serial number for the 966H loader in order to identify the matching bucket. Is that information available?
A2: Make and Model: 966H 557-3535. Manufacturer’s Serial Number: RWE00230
Q3: We will need the serial number and model off of the coupler. This is completely different from the machine itself. There should be a tag on the coupler with this information. Pictures help best. We can't confirm which Top Tube coupler it is without this information. Many were made by CAT in previous years.
A3: see attached photos below
Q4: Would you be able to provide me with the serial number for the Caterpillar 966H loader with Caterpillar coupler that it needs to be compatible with?
A4: Already provided see attached photos below
Q5: The spec states, “Fit Caterpillar coupler 5” top tube. Horizontal pin lock.” Can you confirm what the make/model is of your coupler? It seems like this loader is equipped to pick up the older Balderson style interchange attachments. Can you confirm?
A5: see attached photos below
