What I'm looking at

Recently took apart the Bobcat soil conditioner I have. I bought it used from the rental fleet at a nearby bobcat dealer. What I found was very disturbing. The female spline (10 tooth) was stripped. I now know why the drum stopped rotating! The obvious fix is to replace the female spline part...

Thanks all! I really appericiate the info. Got a job tomorrow, then putting the machine in the shop for touch up paint, filters and oil change. I do know the clutch is working so will inspect for leaks as dye was added last time. I'll let you know how the recharge works out.

I have an 2006 T-190 gold package loader that needs some air conditioning work. My shop has a machine to recharge the a/c in cars and trucks. My question is how many pounds does it take to fill the system on my T-190?

Hello all. Long time reader, first time post. Recently I was asked if I would quote some trench work with my T-190 to install field tile. I would have to rent the attachment from the local dealer. Should I charge my hourly rate with attachment, or by the foot? Along those same lines, in average...
