[QUOTE="Lone Wolf, post: 68386, member: 9595"] Thanks for the idea. Print what I need then the rest is on the CD. When I get the machine I will post photos of the installed engine. I had nothing to do with the conversion, just reaping the benefits of a more powerful engine and of course from gas to diesel. Still haven't got the Bobcat yet but went to see how it is progressing. Found out a couple things while I was there. It is a Clark 632 ,1977-80 model year;went from a 30 hp gas to a 1980 62 hp diesel out of a Toyota 2wd. Tim Allen would be proud ! The rear door was extended about 4-5 inches to accommodate the more rear protruding engine. I was concerned about the extra power but was told there are safety releases for the hydraulics. If I try to lift too much they will kick in. I'm guessing it has to do with tipping load or working pressure/volume of pumps. This rear end weight will make it very light on the front end. ( Calcium filled fronts ?? ) I'm going to run a bale spear set up for round bales so it will be light when not loaded. The piston or ram that runs the bucket is not original and is about 1 inch short so cannot get 100 % vertical drop on bucket. There isn't any safety bar either,just a seat belt.
