Here's a Genius idea. Why not allow people with Cat D-Series attachments run them on their Cat/Terex/ASV Skid Steer Loader? This adapter does just that. Just plug one end into your Cat/Terex/ASV Loader e/w an 8 pin and plug the other into your Cat D-Series attachment equipped with a 14 pin connector. Turn on your machine and get to work. This is another Genius product. The best ideas at the best prices.
Note: Cat D Series 14 Pin outputs 6 switched ports. Caterpillar/ASV/Terex only outputs 4 ports. You will notice that this adapter has 6 pins installed. Up/Down & Left/Right are all that is available along with 2 grounds. This is a manufacturer limitation and not something that we have introduced.
ASV Users: PLEASE READ - The 8 pin side of this product was designed for Caterpillar ABC Series machines which use Pins ABCDEH. To use this on ASV machines you will need to move Pin H to G for full operation. We supply the tools in the kit and instructions are in our Video section of the web site.
If you plan on moving a lot of pins on your attachment, please note that we supply free single use tools. If you want something more, please click below for the commercial version of these tools.
Both ends of this product are built to factory pin specifications with original factory parts. We cannot guarantee that your machine was ordered with all of the factory controls, nor can we guarantee that your attachment is pinned accordingly as well. This is especially evident with auction attachments or second hand items bought on the internet. We include tools and instructions on moving pins to make everything align.
How to Move Deutsch HD Pins
This adapter allows Cat D-Series 14-pin attachments to be operated from a Cat, Terex, or ASV skid steer loader that uses an 8-pin machine connector. Plug the 8-pin side into your loader and the 14-pin side into your attachment, power up, and you’re ready to work.
Cat D-Series 14-pin supports up to 6 switched outputs, while Cat/ASV/Terex 8-pin loaders only provide 4 switched ports. This adapter is wired so that Up/Down and Left/Right functions are available, along with 2 ground connections. Additional functions beyond those 4 loader outputs are not available through this adapter.
The 6 installed pins correspond to the 4 available switched functions plus grounds from the Cat/ASV/Terex loader side. The limitation comes from the machine’s factory wiring, not from the adapter design. The adapter passes through everything that the loader can provide.
This adapter is intended for Cat, Terex, and ASV loaders that use the 8-pin electrical connector and have the appropriate electrical controls installed. If the loader was not ordered with the necessary electrical buttons, some or all attachment functions will not operate even with the adapter connected.
The 8-pin side is wired for Caterpillar ABC Series pin layout (Pins A B C D E H). On many ASV machines, full operation requires moving Pin H to Pin G. The kit includes tools and instructions to move this pin so you can match the ASV pinout correctly.
For Cat machines using the standard ABC layout, you typically plug in and run. For ASV machines or non-standard wiring, you may need to move specific pins such as H to G. Single-use tools are included, and a commercial-duty Deutsch tool is available separately for frequent repinning.
No. The adapter only routes the electrical control signals between the loader and attachment. It does not change hydraulic flow, pressure, or machine performance; it simply allows the loader’s existing electrical controls to operate the D-Series attachment.
