Excel Diesel

Excel Diesel Founded on 20 years of service to the Heavy Earth-moving Industry and specialises in Caterpillar rebuilds.

Excel Diesel is a local Dalby company that has been founded on 20 years of service to the heavy earthmoving industry, ranging from mining and agriculture to civil and construction. Excel Diesel covers a vast region of South East QLD, extending into North Western NSW to accommodate a wide variety of field service requests. This includes but is not limited to, troubleshooting and diagnostic services

, on site component change outs and rebuilds, as well as all general preventative maintenance requirements. In breakdown circumstances, where the machine is unable to be recovered or relocated to a convenient workshop, repairs are often required to be carried out on site. In many circumstances, transport costs alone, determine that the repairs and rebuilds of components would be otherwise unviable if the machine was required to be relocated to a workshop. A well-appointed field service truck, complete with a remote operated Palfinger crane, high flow screw compressor and an extensive array of field service tooling including lap top computer, largely increases on site capability. Components are able to be removed, repaired or transported (pending size), on site, in one operation. Due to an extensive knowledge of Caterpillar machinery, Tony specialises in the rebuilding of a wide variety of associated components, including, but not limited to, engines, transmissions, bevel gears, torque convertors, diffs and final drives. Many years’ experience as a field serviceman affords Tony an excellent understanding of the environment and application that these components are working in, which is critical, when rebuilding for reliability. The rebuilding of components is an expanding area of the business offering an increasing variety of options to the customer. The workshop in Dalby is well situated to take advantage of a well-established product support network from Caterpillar, with the availability of parts from Toowoomba, Brisbane or Melbourne. Overnight freight services to Brisbane allow the opportunity to utilise quality resources as required, mainly associated with large engine blocks and crankshafts. The well organised, 600 square meter, purpose built workshop, complete with 5 tonne travelling crane and a wide variety of necessary specialist tooling and equipment, allows Excel Diesel to accommodate large earthmoving machinery, under cover, and facilitates efficient turn around for all manner of work, with optimum quality control at every stage. Excel Diesel prides itself in high quality workman ship and trade skills and hold Commitment, Dedication and Quality above all.

We had a 627F scraper in for a full rear trans rebuild. Done all the testing on it today on the floor. Was good to get the gauges out and do a bit of trans testing. Quite a few checks to do actually.
Not often you have your own test bench.
At least it leaves and you know it’s got a good chance in life.

Well, I’ve ditched the old Painlands meat barn on the way home from Bris these days.
I’ve hooked up with Costco! Boom, get on it, what a cracker place.
You’d have to see it to believe it.
I don’t think I’ve had lamingtons like that since nanna made them whey back when.
Great produce, sea food, fruit and veg.
There’s a lot of stuff there.
That’s my tip for the day. 😂👌👍

Just going to let people know that there are plenty of jobs on the go at the moment.
We specialise in Cat engine rebuilding.
You could get a job just stripping and cleaning if that’s all you want to do.
You don’t need Cat or heavy equipment experience, just a good attitude to want to be a part of a good crew of people.
Sing out if you are interested.
We dyno test our own engines, depending on size we use 2 different facilities to do that.
You can email me

Bit of a road trip lately to test the repairs just carried out on this 3516 eng. liner packs, heads, turbos and rolled in a set of mains.
Great to use the professional facilities at Expressway Spares to complete the testing. Fantastic set up at the Port Macquarie facility. Well done to those lads. 👍👌

Here is a block bolt hole repair just completed in the shed. It was done using a special ”Cat” insert.
The Cummins one is similar but has 50mm of blank before the thread instead of 23mm like the Cat one.
Anyway, made a special blank to use the existing bolt hole to square up the mag base. Then used a set square off two edges to keep the tap perfect. Ended up a treat. The insert is Wound in to the base with a bit of thread Loc to hold it. It won’t go anywhere.

Its a tough gig out there at the moment to employ people. We operate and live in a small country town and like to employ local.
Start rate of $40, intermediate rate of $45, top rate of $50/hr.
generally 55 to 60 hrs a week are available and weekends are yours.
Not hard to generate well over $100K a year, yet no one wants a job.
Great clean, tidy workshop that is well structured for what we do, you couldn't ask for more. All the gear to make life as easy as possible.
Your own bay, your computer, your wash tub, your cupboards, set it up how you want.
Have a look at our web site if you want to checkout some pictures.
Just looking for those individuals that want to have a go, pride and passion.
Employ enthusiasm, teach content, it's that simple.
I don't care if your from Automotive or Ag sector, I just want a heartbeat that's keen to have a crack.
Apply to [email protected] if you are interested.
Note - don't come just for the money, it wont be enough.
Have a good day.

Here we go. It’s on. Any Keen Tradesman looking for a great job. Have a read please. Pass it around. Thank you.
