The 307C Swing Boom version was designed for ultimate versatility.
Swing the boom in one direction and the upper in the opposite
direction to dig up alongside buildings or walls. The boom’s swing
joint is designed so that it can be used with hydraulic tools like
hammers or with the long stick.

Engine
The four cylinder engine is built for power, reliability, economy and low emissions.

Pistons. Heat resistant aluminum alloy

pistons have a short compression
height, reducing weight and improving
efficiency. The piston ring set consists
of three rings, which are treated for
wear resistance.
Low Fuel Consumption. The 4M40-E1
engine features low fuel consumption,
improved thermal efficiency and
reduced friction resistance between
piston and liners.
Maintenance. To make daily
maintenance easy, the oil level gauge,
oil filter, fuel filter and priming pump
are located on the left side of the
engine.
Crankshaft. For durability and high
reliability the surface of the crankshaft
journals and pins are induction
hardened to reduce wear.
Cooling. A large diameter fan and full
length, water-cooled engine cylinders,
combined with excellent thermal
efficiency, help prevent overheating,
prolong engine life and ensure the
ability to operator at high temperatures
and under heavy loads.

Hydraulics
Caterpillar hydraulics deliver power and control to keep material moving at high volume.

Component Layout. The 307C hydraulic

system was designed to provide a high
level of efficiency. With all major
components located close together,
shorter tubes and lines are needed,
resulting in less friction loss in the lines
and reduced pressure drops.
Hydraulic Cross Sensing System.
Improves productivity with faster
implement speeds and quicker,
stronger pivot turns.
Pilot System. Increased pilot hydraulic
pressure provides better control to
the front linkage, swing and travel
operations.
Controllability. The hydraulic system
offers precise control to the 307C,
reducing operator fatigue, improving
operator effectiveness and efficiency,
which ultimately translates into
enhanced performance.
Pump Flow. Pump flow decreases when
controls are in neutral for reduced fuel
consumption and sound.

Undercarriage and Blade
Durable undercarriage absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability.

Travel Motors. Automatic speed

selection enables the machine to
automatically change up and down
from high and low speeds in a smooth,
controlled manner.
Idler Guard. An idler guard, which is
integral to the track roller frame is
standard. This guard helps maintain
track alignment while traveling or
working on slopes.
Blades. Cutting edges on the blades
are now replaceable and reversible.
With the blade, the 307C can doze,
backfill trenches, level working space
and speed site cleanup.

Front Linkage
Designed-in flexibility to help bring higher production and efficiency to all jobs.

Front Linkage. Front linkage variations

on the 307C allows the use of two
booms, two sticks, and five buckets.
Using these combinations improves
the general-purpose versatility of the
excavator by suiting it to a diverse
range of applications. The 307C Swing
Boom provides further versatility to
meet the needs of any job.
One-Piece Boom. The one-piece boom,
measures 3700 mm with a fabricated
box-section design. The 307C boom
uses high-tensile steel for upper, lower
and side plates and is robot welded for
consistent quality.
Swing Boom. The swing boom has a
fabricated box-section design and high-
tensile strength steel for upper, lower
and side plates and is robot-welded for
consistent quality. The boom swings
to the left 60 degrees and to the right
69 degrees, allowing for side ditch
digging against walls, fences
or other obstacles.
Construction. Built for performance and
long service life, Caterpillar booms and
sticks are large, welded, box-section
structures with thick, multi-plate Buckets. High tensile strength steel is Linkage Bearings. New bearing
