Does anyone know what pressure runs through the hydraulic oil cooler on the T180? Looking for a pressure to pressure test my current (repaired) cooler to. Or to find a generic oil cooler that will meet the spec. Thank you.

The oil cooler in my t180 is leaking. It's not terrible right now, but it leaks enough to make a mess of the radiator and cooling ducts and I'd like to fix it before it gets any worse. Does anyone know of a cheaper aftermarket source to purchase an oil cooler? Also has anyone had any experience...

I just looked and I have less than 20 hours on the machine since I did the major fluid/filter change. I found absolutely nothing in any of the filters as stated above. Do I still need to inspect the case drains?? Also, this leak began while the machine was sitting as indicated by one precise...

Thanks Bobcatdan. I'm certain that this is less than the amount of hub oil. I recall changing it and just how little oil there was to change. Are the seals, bearings and races a common part that could be bought from a bearing shop instead of bobcat? If so, does anyone have generic part numbers?

Ok so I have a leaky outer hub seal on my t180. I noticed it after sitting for about 2 months. It ran straight down the inside of the sprocket, so it must have started while it was sitting. I am fairly mechanically inclined as I have built several vehicles, and do all of my own mechanic work...

Thanks for all of the input guys! I ended up pulling the trigger on the bucket after a little negotiation. The side flange on the back dozer blade part of the bucket was the only thing that was bent. The pan is not tweaked at all. I was able to bend the side flange back in less than 10 minutes...

Thanks for the input Tazza. Do you have an estimated fair price in mind? He did say he was willing to negotiate some. I don't have any experience in the attachment industry, and the best thing I have to go off of is some research I've done online. I've found new ones from 2500-4500 depending on...

Thanks for the input brdgbldr! I'm with ya, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go check it out. I definitely think I could put a 4in1 to good use, and this seems like a fair deal from what I've researched.

Hey guys, I'm looking at a 4 in 1 bucket that I found on craigslist. It's a Construction Attachments (CA) brand bucket. It is showing a little from what I can tell in the pictures, but doesn't look terrible. 2 of the 6 teeth are missing (shank and all). Also, the flange on the passenger (right...

The tracks on my T180 are showing wear and are slipping quite a bit in the snow. I've been considering grooving or siping them. Has anyone tried this with tracks? I found one post online where a guy had a picture and offered to do it for a price. I just want to know if anyone has tried it and...

Sorry it's been so long, I have been away from home due to work for the past few weeks. I finally got around to working on this again. I changed out all of the o-rings on the check valves, and it still does the same thing. Tazza, as far as I can tell, there is only one check valve for the lift...

I think that the poppets are fine, they do not seem to show any abnormal wear. The only thing on the poppets that concerned me was the poppet for the lift function (located in the end of the BICS check valve assembly) is somewhat loose fitting in its sleeve compared to the other poppets. It is a...
