I have used my Loftness flail mower to chew up a windrow of leaves around the perimeter of my yard. In the fall I will mow and blow all the leaves to the edge and chew them up into little bits with the flail.

What brand cutter is it? I have worked on many different brands and have seen hex heads and hex shoulders but not with castle nut and cotter pin. Usually the bolts have a tab on the bolt shank to fit into a slot in the stump jumper or bar. I have seen the a few bolts with no tab and I will grind...

I use the best battery I can find for these little diesels. The automotive batteries don't hold up very long for me. My bobcat gets used daily so I clean the engine bay out once a month and check for leaks I check tire pressure often because I run over the tire metal tracks and it can be a PITA...

Another vote for Fastenal Corp shipping. They are reasonable.

I bought a refurbished crimper from a company in Louisville, KY. The company had an ad in a farm magazine. It came with 5 dies and has worked very well. I think it is a weatherhead brand. I buy fittings and hose from Bailey Hydraulics. Most people say don't reuse hydraulic hose but if the bad...

On my 843 the latch end has a t-bar that goes into the slot and when you turn the handle 90 degrees it holds then you push the latch down to secure. Parts should be easy to find. A battery quick disconnect would be a good idea especially if you mounted it in the cab. I have had my starter...

I have been having similar issues with my 90XT. I have already bypassed the seat switch and last week had to bypass the seat bar switch. I will replace that switch because I think it is good to have. Last week every morning at first startup the machine would not move. I would move a couple of...

The 943 does have a different quick attach plate than the standard size skid steer machines. I have heard of people converting it over but not sure if parts from salvage machine will do it or it dealer sells a conversion kit.

I have an 843. About a month ago I noticed that the descend function is operating at about half speed. The lift and tilt functions all operate normally. The foot control is not packed with dirt or debri and seems to move normally. I haven't checked under the cab to see if it is a linkage problem...

My 90XT lost drive function in field on Monday. The hydraulics still worked. I checked all safety switches: seat, lap bar and cab. All checked good. All fuses checked good. I called dealer and a tech said to move a few relays around esp the front right. I swapped two of the relays and now I can...

I assume you mean the radiator. I didn't see a way to leave it attached. I think it is easier to leave the lower hose attached to the radiator and take the connection off at the engine. When the radiator is out of the way this is a good time to give the engine area and belly a good cleaning.

The rubber fuel line on my 90XT was leaking. Don't remember how I found it but it was a very light mist coming from the hose. Very hard to access the line at the bottom of the tank. I removed the oil cooler and radiator to get to the line.

I purchased a set for my Case 90XT in 2005.. Love the VTS. the 743 machine is probably to light on hp to run the VTS. I think my skid with VTS is 1.5 times the machine vs tires. They are expensive and if you have a bearing fail the parts are expensive.

I have an unused Loader Auxiliary Hydraulics Kit D18158 with instructions. It mounts the aux hyd to the loader arms with the connections on the front. This was purchases for an older machine and never installed. Email me at [email protected]

I've been very pleased with the 90XT. It is an awesome loading machine. It's loading capacity is way underrated. Very powerful and easy to drive and operate. It has powerful hydraulics which is good for tree spade operation. But is hasn't been without its issues. Most of the exhaust manifold...
