Caterpillar 10 FT
Maintenance schedule, common problems & OEM parts breakdown
The Caterpillar 10 FT is a fixed-width, bolt-on asphalt screed, not a self-propelled paver. Built in the Pavemaster mounting style, it carries a 3.05 m (10 ft) base screed frame that mounts on tow arms behind a separate Cat paver tractor and carries no engine, undercarriage, or drivetrain of its own. Factory parts records place it under the serial prefix 3NM, an older production block that predates Cat's current dealer parts-reference coverage for pavers and screeds. The base frame is field-extendable with bolt-on strike-off, auger, and screed extension sections in 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, and 3 ft x 3 ft increments per side, plus a burner group for plate heat and a hydraulic vibrator motor for compaction, both run off the towing tractor's own engine and hydraulic system. Cat's current-generation 10-ft-class screed, the SE60 family, pairs with the AP1000/AP1000F wheel paver and AP1055/AP1055F track paver.
Screeds in this width class evolved from fixed, bolt-on-extension designs like the 10 FT into the hydraulically power-extending Extend-A-Mat 10-20B and 10-20WB, which vary paving width without pinning on extension sections, and later into the SE60 series offered in manual-extension (V), hydraulic power-extension (V XW, VT XW), and front-mounted extender (FM) configurations with paving ranges running roughly 3.0-10.0 m (10-33 ft) depending on variant. Because the fixed 10 FT is a legacy design no longer carried in Cat's current parts guide, it survives today mainly behind older wheel and track paver tractors still working asphalt crews, and demand in the used and parts market centers on wear items - screed plates, tow-arm and extension-crossbar bushings, burner or heating components, and vibrator/tamper bearings - rather than on the screed as a complete unit.

Caterpillar 10 FT specifications
Engine
| Onboard engine | None. The 10 FT is a fixed-width, tow-behind screed (Pavemaster-family mounting) attached to a Caterpillar/Barber-Greene paver tractor, not a self-propelled machine. |
| Power source | Vibrator motor and any fitted extension cylinders run hydraulically off the host paver tractor's engine and pump system. No independent power unit. |
| Host tractor | Not identified in factory parts literature for this specific screed; Pavemaster/fixed 10-ft screeds were fitted across several Cat and Barber-Greene wheel and track paver tractors over the years. Verify exact tractor pairing by serial number with a dealer. |
Weights
| Screed weight (standalone) | Not published in available factory spec sheets for the 10 FT fixed screed alone. |
| Combined paver + screed operating weight | Not documented for this screed independent of a host tractor. Combined weight depends entirely on which paver tractor it is mounted to; treat any figure quoted for a specific tractor/screed combination as tractor-specific, not a 10 FT screed spec. |
Dimensions
| Paving width, base | 3.05 m (10 ft), fixed frame. |
| Paving width, field-extended | Field-extendable using bolt-on strike-off, auger, and screed extension kits built in 1 ft, 2 ft, and 3 ft (and 3 ft x 3 ft) increments per side per the factory parts breakdown. No published fixed maximum extended width. |
| Screed architecture | Fixed frame with bolt-on extensions (Pavemaster style). Distinct from the power-extending Extend-A-Mat 10-20B/10-20WB screeds, which hydraulically vary width without bolt-on sections. |
| Transport length/width/height | Not applicable to the screed alone; transport dimensions are set by the host paver tractor with screed attached, not published for this screed independently. |
| Ground clearance | Not published for this screed. |
Performance
| Travel speed | Not applicable. The screed has no self-propulsion; paving and travel speed are set by the host paver tractor. |
| Compaction method | Vibratory tamper/plate compaction via a hydraulic vibrator motor, plus crown and slope adjustment (manual or power-adjust variants documented across the parts family). |
| Screed heat | Burner-heated screed plates (LPG- or diesel-fired burner groups documented for this screed) to maintain mat-forming temperature at startup. |
| Gradeability | Not applicable to a towed screed attachment. |
Service capacities (summary)
| Hydraulic system | Vibrator motor and extension cylinders draw from the host paver tractor's hydraulic system. No separate hydraulic reservoir or capacity published for the screed. |
| Screed heat fuel | LPG or diesel-fired burner system for screed-plate heat, per documented burner-group parts; tank capacity not published for this screed alone. |
| Engine oil | Not applicable - no onboard engine. |
| Cooling system | Not applicable - no onboard engine. |
| Fuel tank (screed heat) | Not published; typically a small dedicated LPG bottle or diesel day-tank on the paver tractor, not documented as a discrete screed spec. |
Values vary by configuration, region, and serial range — confirm against your machine before planning transport or lifts.
10 FT fluids & capacities
| System | Capacity | Recommended fluid |
|---|---|---|
| Engine crankcase (with filter) | Not applicable — no onboard engine | N/A. The Caterpillar 10 FT is a 10-foot fixed (Pavemaster-line) screed attachment, mounted on tow arms behind a Cat paver tractor. It carries no engine of its own; engine oil spec and capacity belong to the tractor, not the screed. |
| Cooling system | Not applicable — no onboard engine or radiator | N/A. The fixed screed has no coolant circuit. |
| Fuel tank (propulsion) | Not applicable — screed is not self-propelled | N/A. Fuel tank and diesel fuel spec belong to the paver tractor that tows this screed. |
| Screed burner fuel supply | Not documented as a separate reservoir for this screed in available sources — burner fuel is normally supplied from the tractor's own tank or bottle, not a screed-mounted tank | Diesel- or LPG-fired plate burners on this screed run off the towing tractor's fuel supply. Use the same clean diesel fuel grade (or LPG) specified for the tractor; no independent screed-side fuel spec is published. |
| Transmission / powertrain compartment | Not applicable — no drivetrain on the screed | N/A. The screed has no transmission; it is towed, leveled, and steered by the paver tractor's own powertrain. |
| Final drives (each) | Not applicable | N/A. No final drives are fitted to this screed. |
| Axles/differentials | Not applicable | N/A. The screed floats on the mat behind the tractor on tow/leveling arms; it carries no axle or differential of its own. |
| Hydraulic system (crown, vibrator, and extension cylinders/motors) and tank | No separate screed-side reservoir documented in available sources — crown, vibrator, and extension circuits run off the towing paver tractor's hydraulic tank through hose connections; consult the tractor's own OMM for that tank's fill capacity | Match the hydraulic fluid used in the host paver tractor's system. Cat's standard recommendation for this era of paving equipment is Cat HYDO Advanced (or equivalent Cat TDTO/HYDO-spec oil), with a lighter arctic-grade viscosity in cold-climate operation and a heavier grade for sustained high ambient heat, per Cat's general machine fluid guidance. |
| Grease (tow-arm pivots, crown linkage, extension slides, auger/tamper bearings) — spec only | No fill volume specified; serviced by grease-point interval, not by reservoir capacity | NLGI 2 multipurpose chassis grease from Cat's standard grease line (e.g. Cat Multipurpose Grease or moly-fortified Cat Extreme Application Grease for high-load oscillating joints). Cat's general climate guidance calls for a softer NLGI 1 or arctic-grade grease in sustained sub-freezing conditions, standard NLGI 2 for normal ambient ranges; confirm exact grade against the serial-specific lubrication chart in the screed's own OMM. |
Capacities are refill values from factory literature — always fill to the dipstick/sight gauge, not the number.

Servicing the 10 FT beyond the schedule
Predictive Maintenance & Fluid Analysis
The 10 FT screed has no reservoir of its own; vibrator motor and extension cylinders draw off the towing paver tractor's hydraulic tank, so schedule fluid sampling on the tractor's system, not the screed. Track screed plate wear as a trend line: caliper-measure thickness at all four corners on a routine interval and log results rather than waiting for a wear complaint. Watch vibrator/tamper bearing performance for gradual amplitude loss, an early predictive sign of bearing wear well before outright failure.
Corrective & Common Repairs
Most crown complaints on this screed trace to main-beam setup, not a bad unit; recheck with a string line before chasing hydraulics. Worn tow-arm and extension-crossbar bushings cause attitude drift under load and binding thickness-control screws; replace bushings rather than lubricating around the slop. Erratic grade correction on sonic-sensor setups is usually a dirty or misaligned sensor, not a cylinder fault. Heater boxes on older diesel/propane units are known to fatigue and rot at the frame; inspect before returning to service.
Overhaul & Rebuild Points
Rebuild tow-arm and extension-crossbar bushings as full sets rather than one at a time; partial replacement just moves the play to the next joint. Recondition vibrator and tamper shaft bearings, seals, and shafts as a complete assembly once amplitude drops noticeably at the same settings. Heater/burner frame sections take cumulative fatigue from daily heat-cool cycling on older burner-equipped units; inspect welds and mounting points at major overhaul rather than only at failure. Recondition crown-adjustment linkage and screed plate mounting hardware at the same interval.
Seasonal & Environment Servicing
Screed heat is the seasonal item that matters most: run a full heat-up cycle before cold-weather paving and confirm every section, main and extensions, comes up even; a cold zone points to a failed element or burner, not a wiring gremlin. On diesel- or propane-heated units, protect burner components and fuel lines from corrosion during off-season storage. Before layup, clean plates of caked mix, back off thickness-control screws to relieve spring tension, and cap or cover exposed hydraulic couplers feeding the vibrator and extension circuits.
10 FT fault codes & troubleshooting
| Code | Meaning | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| CID 0924-05 | Burner control module signal circuit open / no communication | Broken wire or corroded connector in the burner control harness at the tow-arm connector, or a failed control module | Check burner control module wiring and connectors for continuity and corrosion before replacing the module |
| CID 0925-03 | Burner diagnostic lamp circuit voltage above normal / shorted to battery | Chafed wiring shorting the lamp circuit to power, or a failed lamp driver | Inspect lamp wiring for shorts to +battery and check the lamp housing ground |
| CID 0926-02 | Burner zone selector switch signal erratic or intermittent | Worn or corroded switch contacts from heat-cycle vibration | Clean and test switch contacts; replace the switch if the signal stays erratic |
| CID 0927-05 | Burner fuel pump relay control circuit open | Blown fuse, broken wire, or failed relay coil in the fuel pump relay circuit | Check the fuse and relay socket wiring, then test relay coil resistance |
| CID 0985-08 | Material feed control module signal frequency/update rate abnormal | Data link disturbance or corroded connector between the feed control module and the main paver controller | Inspect data-link wiring and connectors for corrosion and reseat connections |
| CID 0963-02 | Grade/slope control circuit signal erratic or intermittent | Loose sensor mount, vibration-damaged cable, or a loose connector on an automatic screed-control accessory (sonic ski or similar) | Inspect sensor cabling and mounting, reseat connectors, and recalibrate the control |
| CID 2410-06 | Auger raise solenoid circuit current above normal / grounded circuit | Solenoid coil shorted internally, or wiring chafed and grounded against the frame near the auger box | Check solenoid coil resistance and inspect the harness for chafing or grounding |
| CID 2411-06 | Auger lower solenoid circuit current above normal / grounded circuit | Same failure pattern as the raise circuit: shorted coil or chafed, grounded wiring | Test solenoid coil resistance and inspect harness for shorts to ground |
Codes and remedies are general guidance for this model family — always confirm with diagnostic tooling and your dealer before major repairs.
10 FT attachments & work tools
Screed platform (base width class)
The 10 ft class refers to a 3.0 m (9'10"-10') base screed, built as the Cat SE60 series and paired with the large-frame paver line: AP1000/AP1000F wheel paver and AP1055/AP1055F track paver. Standard paving range on the base screed runs roughly 3.0-6.0 m (9'10"-19'6") before extensions are fitted.
Manual bolt-on screed extensions
The SE60 V uses simple rear-mounted bolt-on extensions, taking maximum paving width to about 7.45 m (24'5"). Extenders are lifted and pinned into place rather than hydraulically actuated, and mount at the rear of the main screed for stability.
Hydraulic power screed extensions (XW variants)
SE60 V XW and SE60 VT XW use rear-mounted, hydraulically powered extending frames with a paving range of about 3.0-10.0 m (9'10"-33'). A power-latch fastening system attaches the extension sections without a separate lifting device, with 2 speed ranges, proportional control, and a pendant remote for extender operation.
Front-mounted extender screed (FM variant)
SE60 FM carries its extenders ahead of the main screed instead of behind it, giving a standard paving range of about 3.05-5.94 m (10'-19'6") and a maximum of roughly 7.77 m (25'6"). Front placement is used to draw material back into the auger chamber and shrink width quickly around obstacles.
Compaction system: vibratory vs. tamper bar
Base SE60 screeds run vibratory-only compaction; the SE60 VT XW adds tamper bars ahead of the vibratory plates for higher density on thicker lifts. Operators set tamper stroke/frequency and vibration frequency from the console to match paving speed and lift depth.
Screed plate systems
Conventional screed plates run about 407 mm (16") deep on main and extension sections; the SE60 FM uses 610 mm (24") main / 210 mm (9") extension plate widths. Cat's SDX modular plate system is also offered in textured or smooth patterns, in 300 mm (12") sections of chromium-alloy construction, using a hardware-free tapered-block and silicone-retainer fit that lets plates be swapped in the field once an aluminum adapter plate is installed.
Screed heating
Screed plates use electric heating elements with zoned temperature monitoring, reaching working temperature in roughly 15 minutes. If a temperature sensor fails, the zone keeps heating rather than shutting down, so plate coverage is not lost mid-shift.
Power berm shoe attachment
An optional power berm shoe mounts at the screed end to form a berm 305, 457, or 609 mm (12", 18", or 24") wide, with variable berm height up to about 102 mm (4"). It is adjusted from the same remote/tow-point control area used for extender setup.
Screed mounting / tow-point linkage
The screed connects to the paver tractor through a pair of tow arms and tow points, not a quick-attach coupler. Tow-point height is adjustable for screed flotation and can be saved as a job preset; current-design tow arms differ in length from older ones and the two styles cannot be mixed left-to-right on the same machine.
Auger and conveyor feed control
Independent left/right auger and conveyor ratio adjustment lets the crew balance material flow to match screed width and mix type. When a hydraulic extension package is fitted, matching auger and conveyor sections extend with the screed rather than being ordered as a separate stand-alone kit.
Operator guarding and environment options
A hard-top canopy/ROPS structure is offered over the operator's platform. A ventilation system draws fumes from the auger chamber and conveyor tunnel away from the platform for operator comfort in enclosed or urban paving.
Push rollers (wheel-paver option)
On the wheeled carrier (AP1000F), adjustable and oscillating push rollers are offered so the paver can maintain contact with the haul truck tires during push-pave material transfer without marking or damage.
Engine / powertrain pairing
Both carriers built for this 10 ft screed class use the Cat C7.1 ACERT engine rated about 168 kW (225 hp), meeting Tier 4 Final / Stage IV emissions. An integrated onboard generator (roughly 70 kW class on this platform) supplies power for the fast-heat screed system rather than a separate genset.

10 FT serial number reference
On Cat asphalt screeds the PIN plate sits at the rear of the unit rather than up front with the paver tractor: on AS-series and Extend-A-Mat screeds it is mounted above the right-side tow arm, and on SE-series screeds it is on the back of the screed next to the right-side steps; older fixed-width units like the 10 Ft screed follow the same general rear/right-side placement. Read the plate as the Product Identification Number - the first three characters are the serial-number prefix identifying the model/build lot, and the remaining characters are the sequential unit serial used to confirm exact part and manual fitment with a dealer.
| Prefix | Identifies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3NM | 10 Ft Asphalt Screed (fixed-width, non-extending base screed) | Serial-number block for a Caterpillar model catalogued as "10 Ft Asphalt Screed" - a fixed 3 m (10 ft) bolt-on screed mounted behind a paver tractor, not a self-propelled machine, and distinct from the later Extend-A-Mat 10-20B (10-20 ft variable-width) line. Not covered in Caterpillar's current Pavers and Screeds Parts Reference Guide, which lists only the 10-20B and newer AS/SE-series screeds, so this is a legacy production block outside that guide's coverage. No plant, region, engine, or production-year data documented for this prefix, expected for a bolt-on screed with no engine of its own. Confirm with dealer before ordering against this prefix. |
Frequently asked questions
What powers the Caterpillar 10 FT screed?
It has no engine of its own. The vibrator motor, extension cylinders (where fitted), and screed heat system all run off the towing paver tractor's engine-driven hydraulic and electrical systems. Historically paired with Pavemaster-era Cat and Barber-Greene tractors; today's 10-ft-class screed pairs with the AP1000/AP1000F wheel paver or AP1055/AP1055F track paver running the Cat C7.1 ACERT engine, rated about 168 kW (225 hp). Confirm the exact tractor pairing for a given 10 FT serial with a dealer.
What does the 10 FT screed weigh?
Not published as a standalone figure in available factory literature. Operating weight for a paver-and-screed combination depends entirely on the specific tractor it is paired with and on how many bolt-on extension sections are fitted, so treat any weight figure quoted for a particular paver-plus-screed combo as tractor-specific, not a 10 FT screed spec.
What replaced the 10 FT fixed screed?
The fixed, bolt-on 10 FT sits outside Cat's current parts-reference coverage. Its successors are the hydraulically power-extending Extend-A-Mat 10-20B and 10-20WB screeds, followed by the current AS-series and SE-series screeds, including the SE60 V, V XW, VT XW, and FM variants used on today's AP1000F and AP1055F pavers.
