    How to reset owner password with just Master Code?

    Bobcat gave me the wrong master code the first time 😂. They gave me the right code and I set up new account. Thanks for the information. I think I need to order a manual, the PO had it recently but has misplaced it. Blessings and thanks again for information.

    He is hard to get a hold of, I know that. It was a Big Red flag to me also. I hope it is as good as it supposed to be when we see it in person.
