Hi, according to the tech book, you should use bobcat hydraulic/hydrostatic fluid. If you are in a bind you can use engine oil 10w30 or 10w40, if opperating in 0 F (-18 C) or below use 5w30. Do not use automatic transmission fluid as it will cause damage to the transmission. The quantities are...

When I was working at the dealership we used standard fuel line from goodyear and we have never had any problems with it.

Toggle the switch back and forth like tazza says but just make sure that you turn the ignition is on but not with the engine running, you need to do this to allow the pressure to release past the aux solnoids. Although I did find a few machines and certian attachments (usually grapples) are...

If you still need some help give me your serial number and I will give you the troubleshooting chart for it.

9/10 times I find that the heater motor is shorted out either oil or water leaking in to it. Another thing I found was when the motor got too much dust in it, it would draw too much and pop the fuse. Hope this helps, shoot me a line if you need anything else.

They run all the time on the 463s its only on the new k series loaders that change due to temp, the loud pop was probably the rad side tanks bursting, I had one do this while running it once. Really easy repair, 4 bolts hold in the rad and then three clamps for the hoses and the conectors for...

Great machine at well over 2000+ just remember at 1000hrs to do the case drains and steering filter.

Its right can joystick grip no communication, if you give me a serial number i can provide the troubleshooting steps for it.

This is what bobcat recomends in the service manual, flip the tracks 180 degrees and switch sprockets from side to side. The manual suggests doing this every 500 hours to promot even track and sprocket wear. Also wash out the tracks as it willl prolong life especially in acidic top soil.

I have seen them in a dealer release from bobcat and they are a huge leap from the current loaders, if you want to see it let me know and I will send you a copy.
