It is used on Caterpillar 267B, 277B and 287B loaders. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
The same part is also sold as Caterpillar 233-5996.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Controls weak or dead
The pilot (self reducing) valve feeds the low pressure oil the joysticks and pedals use. When it fails every function becomes sluggish or stops responding together.
Low pilot pressure reading
A gauge on the pilot circuit reading well under the service figure, with a healthy pump, points to the reducing valve.
Travel or attachment pedal problems
A worn foot pilot valve gives jerky or one sided travel and attachment control.
Matching the old unit
Match the part number on the old valve and check the port layout before fitting.

Yes, it was made for the Caterpillar 267B, and 2 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old pilot valve is marked 299-9118 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
On the Caterpillar 267B, there is no fixed interval. It is changed when it fails, and many fail from water in the plug or chafed wiring rather than wear.
A fault code for this circuit, readings that jump or stay fixed, or a part that does not respond with power at the plug.
Measure the coil resistance with a multimeter and check for supply voltage at the plug with the circuit on. An open coil reads infinite.
Read the fault codes, then check the plug and wiring for corrosion or a broken wire. A wiring fault reads the same as a failed pilot valve.
No. It is an aftermarket pilot valve made to replace the Caterpillar 299-9118. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
