Are you still looking? Thanks.

I'm not much at trouble shooting and have someone who will install a new wiring harness if I can find one. Does anyone have a source for this? Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all. MelDawg

I appreciate the advice. Lots of good ideas.I had not thought of having a connector pair and would hate to splice wires next time I tilt the cab. I do have a more basic question though. Should the light switch be wired to the ignition switch or ??? (This is a sincere question - auto parts stores...

I want to add lights to the M600. I'm no expert in electrical matters. Anyone have an easy way to do it? I don't anticipate doing alot of night work, it just would be nice to be able to find my way back to the shed without a flashlight. Thanks, Meldawg

(as an aside, mine had the engine replaced with the 30 hp Wisconsin motor found in 620s before I bought the machine). Anyway, I appreciate any...

Is there any place to buy these without going to the Bobcat dealer? Thanks

I appreciate the responses. I was already considering adding a fuel tank, but I also have the concern about where to mount it. If not above the engine (I don't like that place either), what about behind the counterweight? My thinking is that I could have a smaller tank, and fill the original...

Second thought. Where can I buy a replacement? Thanks.

Just bought a M600 last week. (Came with a Case D100 backhoe). Just joined this site today. Already bought service, parts and owners manual. Anyway, I have lots of rust in the fuel tank. Looks like it coats the walls - looked at it with flashlight. I looked through all my manuals, and I looked...
