Product Overview
Caterpillar identifies 277-6918 as a 24V DC hood tilt actuator. It raises and lowers the engine hood/enclosure so technicians can access the engine compartment.
The original title lists 3406E, C11 and C15 engines, but the actuator fits equipment by machine configuration rather than engine family alone. Confirm the machine serial and actuator number.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm compatibility? Use the Cat machine serial number and confirm 277-6918 on the original actuator; engine model alone does not establish fitment.
Is this an OEM part? This listing is for a replacement part. Brand names and OE/reference numbers are used to identify fitment unless the listing specifically states that the item is genuine OEM.
