⚠️ Buyer Fitment Disclaimer: CHECK WELL BEFORE PURCHASE! Air induction layouts can change dynamically across identical models based on the specific Machine Serial Number Prefix or attachments. Please measure your mounting brackets, hose collar diameter, and cross-reference your serial sequence via the Official Cat Parts Store Portal prior to checkout. All sales of surplus inventory are final—no returns accepted for ordering errors or diagnostic mismatching.
📦 Condition Details & Surplus Notice
- Surplus Open Box State: Brand new surplus components with zero field deployment history. Plucked clean from warehouse liquidations.
- Cosmetic Markings: Because of open bulk crate transport and handling over years on metal shelves, expect minor scuffs, tiny paint scratches, or light handling dust along the outer metal finish. These are entirely surface-level and have no structural impact on intake air-tight seals, clamping power, or latch performance.
- Photo Transparency: What you view in the item images represents the exact cylindrical housing profile and filter elements expanding to your shipping location.
🌍 International Buyers – Please Notice
- Import Duties & Customs Fees: Import duties, regional taxes, and local clearing agent fees are not included in the baseline item price or stated shipping rates. These are strictly the buyer's responsibility.
- Customs Manifest Accuracy: We strictly comply with international maritime trade rules. We will not alter commercial invoice price fields or manifest heavy equipment assets as "gifts."
