I have an 2005 Bobcat T300 with standard bobcat hand and foot controls. I have noticed that my right control lever moves approx 2" forward more than the left which causes the machine to turn to the right very bad. My left lever wont move near as far and tracks very slow. In reverse , it is equal...

I am in the process of buying a Bobcat S250 in which the SN tag is missing but the owner provided me the serial number. Is there another place on the machine so that I can compare and verify that it is the correct serial number ?

I have a John Deere 250 skid steer loader and when you start it , it wants to pull hard to the right . The parking brake does work which puts it in such a strain that it kills the engine. You can pull back on the handle and it quits but as soon as you let off, it does the same. Can someone...

I have a 2005 bobcat s250 which has selectable hand controls. The traction light does not come on when all safety's are released. The right stick functions normally on either type hand controls. However, the left stick will not m-ove machine at all. When I move the stick forward , I hear three...

I have a bobcat s185 which has the hydraulic bob-tach. When I push the button to engage my auxillary hydraulics the machine immediately sounds like it has a big strain on it. I press the bob-tach button and nothing happens. The auxillary hydraulics are not working and the machine is under a...

Thanks so much. Yes I checked the fuse but will do what you stated. Are you positive that on an enclosed cab machine that there are no a/c lines or any other fittings or objects that need to be unhooked or loosened for the cab to roll all the way back. I have owned lots of Bobcats and have never...

I have a 2004 s250 with enclosed cab and heat and air. My blower motor and A/C swith with indicator light just quit working all the sudden. I checked the fuse and its ok. I wondered if someone has had this problem or could tell me how to troubleshoot and where to start. I am also having trouble...

I have a bobcat 325 excavator and need to know what weight oil to use in the hydraulic reservoir. I have been told both 10 weight and 10w30. If someone knows I would appreciate if they could tell me. I called Bobcat and they told me that Bobcat does not list the viscosity on any of there oils.

Thank you and I understand that it is very important to buckle up but what about if you want to step out of the seat? The machine should not die when you unbuckle your seat belt. What about after you start it when its cold and you want to let it warm up? There has to be something wrong because...

I have a 2005 Deere 325 skid steer. Machine starts right up but dies immediately if the seat belt is not buckled. Once the seat belt is buckled the machine will start and stay running. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks

I just purchase a Bobcat S185 and noticed the hydraulic / hydrostat fluid was low. I am needing to know what type of fluid this takes and if I can go to Napa to get it or do I have to go to Bobcat.

I have a Bobcat s175 that I am trying to put the rear window in since it did not have one when I bought it. I bought the new glass, the gasket and the spline all from Bobcat. I can not figure out how to put it in. Do you put the gasket around the frame before installing glass or what. If someone...

I just purchase a bobcat S175 and would like to paint it. It seems as though it would be much easier if I were to remove the roll cage. I see to remove the 2 nuts in front . Do I have to unplug any wiring harnesses or how do I go about removing it. Any help would gladly be appreciated!! Thanks

I have a 2005 Bobcat S175 which I just purchased. The hour meter display LED is blank on the left hand display. The temperature and fuel gauge all work but the hour meter LED is blank. The bulbs are good and I have checked the harness and it looks good. Any suggestions on this. I know a new one...

I removed the 2 screws and pulled off the top cover. Can't remove the rear. I dont know what to do next. Thanks
