Re: Bobcat 630 Drives Binding Weird Issue 5/19/2013 12:21:34 PM   (Total replies: 1)
Sounds like either a drive chain is binding or a bad axle bearing. Jack and block it up so all 4 tires are up. Hold one tire and rotate the other to see how much play there is in the drive chains. Check the other side the same way. Pull in and out on each tire to check axle end play. Pry each tire up and down to check for a bad bearing.

I use Shell Rotella T. Mainly because it's the most readily available diesel rated oil.

Did you lift the cab and inspect the linkage all the way to the control valve? If its not a linkage problem then the control valve will likely need to be removed to be repaired.

Raise the cab and check the linkages from the foot pedals to the control valve. Something could have come loose or they are binding on a critter nest in there

To get to the bolts that hold the seat in you need to raise the cab. To raise the cab, there is a  nut in the each front corner of the cab. Remove the nuts/washers and raise the cab. Be careful some of the older machines had wiring harnesses that needed to be unplugged first so watch for that. Also it may take more than one person to lift if it doesn't have the struts that help.

You can order rubber grips from McMaster Carr. Just measure the tubes and order whatever style ...

The pictures need to be stored online somewhere like Photobucket. Then you can just copy and paste the image into your posts.

I fixed your pictures and I see you figured out how to get them to show.

I can't tell how heavy that wire is from the picture but it looks to pretty thick. It could be a battery cable, I'd trace it down and make sure it's conection is clean and tight.

Yes just standard grease fittings.

Spacers are only needed if you don't have enough clearance between the tracks and the frame when installed. Wheels/tires can also be swapped from side to side and mounted with the offset inside out to provide more clearance.
