I agree that you should repair the one you have or buy another engine of the same m model Easier than having to do a lot of modifications

Should take 7.5 gallons. 10w30 regular motor oil can be used instead of hydro oil according to service manual. Check oil level by removing upper small pipe plug between wheels on left hand side when facing the seat.

I had a similar problem with black smoke. Have you checked the head gaskets because it can happen all at once. Good luck.

I don't see the original question. Did you ever have it running. Is the hydraulic pump run with the distributor next to it. If not you have an agricultural engine which has the shorter nose and a separate starter solenoid. Good luck

Do you have the right starter. The starter nose piece length is different for a skid steer engine than for a general purpose vh4d.

That is correct. Hydraulic will not work when push heel down. 600 has 2 lines on rear right facing to the front. Line towards the front is the feed. Line closes to the rear is the return. Good luck.

The middle pedal just allows you to get hydraulics to valve that you need to operate an accessory . Push it forward to get fluid to valve. Push it down to so hydraulic will not work. Same thing as a 600

The hi lo range pulley has separated so only have hi range right now. Works fine if you are used to it. Would be nice to have have both speeds.

We have had one for over 30 years and it is not a gas hog. Would like to find a source for reasonable price parts. A hydraulic shop should be able to help you

Where in n mn are you

600 bobcat with vh4d wisconsin. Replaced both head gaskets because of excessive smoke.Torqued and retorted after running. Not smoking. Started up and after warming up starting traveling. Machine bogged down and died. When trying to start again it would sound like puffing through exhaust. I...

As others have said, with a power somethings are difficult to make work. The hydraulic pump for the 610 runs off of the back of the distributor. The variable speed clutch would also have to be retrofitted. I would pull the engine and have someone look into it. Better to have original than...
