found my problem and figured out why i thought i had trouble installing it. The old solenoid was stuck in the "run" position so when I removed it i thought that is the off position. so when installing the new solenoid it was being installed right. Just push it in and bolt it down. My actual...

it was a like for like solenoid. the link of the one i purchased is below. There were not any instructions in the box for it. http://stores.allskidsteers.com/fuel-shut-off-diesel-deutz-non-oem-for-g-s-t-a-f-series-bobcat-skid-steers-a-6686715-os/ the "Hook" is supposed to come in contact with...

So after several years of dealing with a bad solenoid i'm finally getting around to installing a new shutoff solenoid on my machine. My issue started with the old one getting it out. The solenoid pin was out and the arm couldnt move for me to get it out. After prying the pin back in I was able...

at 1200 hours that machine should be pretty tight all the way around. but look at the tracks to amke sure they arent too tore from operating on concrete or asphalt alot. also maybe ask if they ever used a jack hammer attachment on it. they are very hard on the entire machine especially the pins...

Iwould have thought there would of been one too but even the service manual doesnt list one. but im not sure what it was but after doing this last round of parts it seemed to do it. we always noticed the significant power loss was when we were climbing up on the trailer, and the yesterday didnt...

well got it put back together last night and it ran fine. never missed a beat but i didnt run it hard, just in the driveway and operated the hydraulics quickly. but im starting to wonder if because the system is gravity feed if it isnt getting enough pressure or to fill the line to get the fuel...

well an update for anyone wondering or reading with a similar issue. we currently have it torn apart some, relaced all return lines, hydraulic filter(just needed done), had injectors cleaned and popped tested, new thermostat, and coolant. so we are going to see if that will dot he trick. also we...

We have a 231 bobcat and the machine is dropping rpms just sitting still from a full rev, also if its at max rpm and you quickly pull it to idle it sometimes will stall out. It all started from when my dad ran some bad fuel through it. We replaced the supply lines, filter and the inline filter...

a friend of ours down the road bought one for their 337 bobcat excavator. havent heard of him having any issues with it.

ill have to try that with a good tank of fuel. .does anyone know the exact locations of some of the fuel screens?

bringing the back out, our excavator is doing a similar thing, however its a 231 excavtor. ours will bog down and have an erratic idle. we were digging a 400ft trench to lay tile and it dug fine but if we tried to move it it would bog down alot. whenever we put it on the trailer it will die...

got it fixed last weekend!! we ended up taking our partner saw and cutting the pin on each side. sent the cylinder out to be rebuilt( only 400 bucks!) then the pin pieces left had to be driven to the right (view point sitting in the cabin looking at the boom) now we have some engine issues to...

well from the beggining the thing was pretty hard to move and it stuck out about a quarter inch on easch side and with a pull swing and a ten pound sledge it took quite a bit to get it to move the amount it did. .im wondering if its bent slightly and thats why it cant move anymore. i was told to...

my father was tearing out some trees with our 231 excavator and managed to blow the cap out of the main lift cylinder. the threads are gona on the cap but look to be left in the barrel still but we cannot get the bottom pin to come out, anyone have suggestions? we put a little heat to it but was...

hello, my name is Brandon and me and my father do some light construction and demolition work on the side. we have a 1999 231 bobcat mini-excavator and had a 08 T300 but had to sell it, but were on the lookout for a 883 or 873 because that was our original skid steer. so just saying hello and...
