New hoses to the boom and on the boom now.

I did some google searches but a couple prices i did find just seemed a little high, like $11-13k us, one machine that looked worse then mine lol I didnt find anything on the Canada side tho and I know region plays a big role in what a machine can fetch. I'll see if I can find any ritchie...

Sounds like a fair plan. Looks like any ex's are all over the price map here. i'll aim high and work from there. I'll replace those lines and see about making it a bit prettier and then list it and see what happens. Cheers.

I'm considering parting with my Bobcat 56 mini Ex (rebadged Komatsu PC-05) I was wondering what kind of value this unit might have now. I do intend to replace the few hydraulic flex lines that are looking a little rough and some of the pins are of course sloppy, but the machine still runs and...

I ended up just taking the stuff to a hydraulic repair place in Toronto as I had to go up there for the new tracks anyways and they set me up with a bunch of fittings and adapters and such. To the tune of $120 worth "ouch'. The jic adapters seem to work fine and no leaks yet. Thanks anyhow guys Tom.

I managed to score the drive parts for my mini ex, Bobcat 56 (komatsu pc05) but I have a problem with the hydraulic connections to the travel motors. The machine has 10mm tubing with some form of compression fitting. The motors have 1 JIC to 1/4" BSP and 2 JIC to 3/8 BSP, the JIC sizes are 3/8 I...

This machine is a rebadged Komatsu PC05 so I was lucky enough to find a nice man who sent me the manual for it so i am good to go there.

bobcat took the service away from a local company and gave it to the carrier dealer thats 40 mins away. I'll stop in there next time i am in town.

Yeah, modifying something to make it work is becoming plan A now. Its not even for site work, its only for personal use. I have to fix my foundation and after that i can sell it off again. but my little 600 has a hard time moving it around so i wanted to get it back on its own feet. i have the...

Would anyone happen to have manuals for the Bobcat model 56 Mini ex? I need to research out the drive motors and other running gear for my new to me machine. Thanks Tom.

The pumps and valving are all in quite good shape, apparently its run for about 4 years like this. I'm not finding any reliable pricing yet, every place has "call for quote" on the komatsu part number and I don't have a manual to look up the bobcat part number. Still searching for any machine...

I just bought an old Bobcat model 56 which is also a rebadged Komatsu PC05-6. One of the previous owners blew out a final drive motor and decided to rip off all the drive parts and just drag it around from spot to spot. I'd love to get this unit mobile again but am dreading the cost. Does anyone...

Check the driven pully to make sure it opens easily when the drive pully closes. Its fairly easy to check, just reach in and grab the belt in the middle and pull it up. You should be able to pull it up a good couple inches and see the driven pully spreading apart. If the clutches are not...

Thanks for the reply, Yes I did try it while moving, made no difference. I'm sure there is a little bit of air in the system but it should still build up to pressure once its compressed. I gave it a very good cleaning and greasing before final assembly so its well lubricated. From the research...
