over the years Iv'e had and seen several engine covers fail on Cat" DP50 & DP50K forklifts. Breaksge occurs where the seat mounts, it cracks all the way around enough to causr the seat to actually seat on top the engine dip stick. This always happens after warranty has expired. I'm talking about 40 ~ 45 forklifts since 1995 having the same problem. Our local Cat dealer says there's nothing they can do except replace the engine cover at the customers expense. We have tried reinforcing and replacing, even the new replacment fails after a couple years of use. Just wondering if anyone has the same problem or not. I would like to see Cat step up and finnally address this problem.
