Sounds like you have gotten some good solid advice from some good people. I will offer another suggestion for the manual that I did last week that worked out great. I was searching for a manual and ran into a downloadable for only 9.99 ( I looked briefly for it again and can't find one that...

Well I guess that is a good reason to have the brake replaced then. Thx for the input. Tom is on target with the 28.00 replacement, that'll be the direction I go in. Thx again.

Not in this life time :) I do like the rent w/operater option though.

So to "take it off" you just pull back on the pedal ?

Oh, ok, thx. I guess in my mind I would think the cam could reverse w/o some sort of lock to keep it from rotating back but must be they designed it to stay on it's own...interesting. Can't wait to check it out. Thx again !

Old Machinist, you are the best ! This is just what I needed, thank you ! From looking this over don't see any kind of locking mechanism to "set' the brake. is there supposed to be one?

I think that was a product of the rodeo, so it's just one big embarrassment, thx for pointing that out though Tom, I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on an embarrassing moment. :)~

Hey thank you fellas for the help. I guess I must be missing that pedal and linkage as there is nothing in the middle. I will have to concoct something to function the same if I can't locate the parts I am missing. But at least my fear of driving down my driveway has been eliminated. I wish I...

If my 642B were to conk out on a hill, what would stop me from free wheeling down the hill? I understand while the engine is running that the hydraulics control it, but what if it stalls? The guy I bought it from said he jumped from an old Case that stalled on him and it rolled backwards down to...

Well I have done it a couple of times already myself. When the neighbor saw me I had that thing rocking with the front wheels airborne then the rear, heck it woulda made one heck of rodeo ride as I don't think I'd of gotten 8 seconds in the seat without a seatbelt. :)

Well I think this may have been largely operator error...lol, I hate to blame the Bobcat for the guy trying to drive outside of his skill set. :)

That sounds like good advice as trying to counteract it sure didn't work.

I was cleaning the growth out of my new dry pond -thx to this drought - and suddenly I am hearing this banging clunking sound on and off. Well after doing a bucking bronco imitation in front of my neighbor after having just gone over a speed bump ,I hear the banging again. So I get off to hose...

I might do a hundred...delivered. :)

Hey, I downloaded a manual after searching for one for my 642B yesterday and it has fantastic wiring diagrams. I ended up at amazon when an ad showed up for a downloadable for 9.99 and after you load it save a copy to a disc in case your computer crashes sometime. I took the disc and dowloaded...
