Terry, Great mounts!!! The only thing I do not like is when the backhoe attachment is fully attached directly to the machine frame, (Bobcat skid steers), if you need to move it you have to stop and and unlatch, unscrew the balls, or what ever, to lift the backhoe attachment, to move the...

That is exactly what I had done to attach the 907 Bobcat to my Thomas T133s. One single turn buckle in the center attached to the loader arm frame. Bought a 3 point turn buckle from Harbor freight, and then had to shorten it to fit. You really want it attached to the machine frame to minimize...

I have the vertical stabilizers on the 709 and 907. I have downloaded the parts breakdown from the Bobcat website for these which will help with the rebuilding the cylinders. Any information I can get would be greatly appreciated. The whole manual would be wonderful if possible. I am sure many...

I also would like to have that manual. I have a Bobcat 709, 907 and a Thomas BH-108 backhoe attachments that I use. I love all of them and each one is set up differently. I have re-hosed the 709 and have partially replaced the internal 4 steel lines under the boom cylinder. Thanks in advanced.

I am mostly done reclearing our property in the mountains, which is why I bought the machine in 2010. I am now using it to rebuild the cabin on the property from the arson fire in 1991. This has been a very long time in coming together, with the road washing out 18 years ago and finally getting...

On New Year's Day night, I gently rolled my Thomas T-133S on its side into a creek and turned off the engine immediately. Got out and within 20 minutes had it somewhat on its tires with the help of a single axle flatbed semi with 10 tons of gravel in it(and 50 feet of chains) This happened at...

I added swivel "D" rings to the skid steer and the trailer 30 years ago. Works for me.

I do not use water to clean out the engine/belly pan area. I use compress air with a 36” long 1/2” piece of copper pipe with the end smashed slightly so the hole in only 1/3 of the original size. A 175psi compressor, 120 gallon tanks, works very well for cleaning without adding water to...

The motor is a Char-Lynn 112-1160-006. I have contacted Al at Thomas and he is going to find out a price for a complete unit. To answer the question of loss of power, there has not been any loss of power on the right side. It just slowly leaks the hydraulic fluid and probably has since I had...

My T133S had the same issue of slowly filling the chain case with oil. After 100 hours of use would drain 6 gallons of the 8 gallons out of the hydraulic tank to the chain case. Removed the char-Lynn drive motor, turns out the rebuild kit is $2800.00 and 22 weeks out. New motor is a few hundred...

It sounds like everyone have put there two cents in. I agree it is electrical issue with seat switch somehow and some lockout solenoid. Since I own a Thomas 1997, T133S, it has no electrical lock outs of any kind, no seatbelt now, no lockout with the parking brake bar. There never was any...
