    New Holland Lx885 hydrolic reservoir

    Lost all my fluid while loading hay, took belly pan off and found 1-1.2" hose loose from both in and out! Has anyone else found out how to get these back on to the tank without removeing the motor? nowhere to loosen the plastic tank mounts are visible.

    Hello from Alaska

    welcome here, lotsa bobcat owners on the board. I['m also in Fairbanks running a NH Lx885 fo 10 years. My fiberglass tank spung a leak few yrs ago, what a nightmare getting it out thru the bottom. Skidsteers are not easy to work on for sure

    Dead LX885 loading

    You can also insert a small 12v electric pump in line placing the external tank (2ga or 3ga) on the engine cowling, I've used regular rubber gasoline hose with clamps. $20 electric pump can push 6psi into injector pump

    most often in the motor area, the oem fuse holder is weak, I place a drop of solder on the fuse blades (file flat) so they fit tighter
