Thanks guys, that is what I was thinking.

Just got done changing the 4 hydrostatic hoses that go to the drive motors and also changed several of the steel hydraulic lines. Bottom line, there isn't much hydraulic fluid in the machine. When I purchased the machine, it had either 10W-30 or 10W-40 in it for hydraulic fluid. Is there any...

1972 Ford Pinto 1.6L to the rescue. I ordered the other day and they are the same as the original.

Anyone have a suitable replacement part number for the center exhaust manifold gasket (Rectangular one) on a Bobcat 642? Discontinued Bobcat number was #6512508. Is there an equivalent that will work? Maybe from a mid 70's pinto? Thanks Bernie

I searched up a 1974 BMW 2002 on NAPAONLINE.com........two cap appeared. the MPE EP131SB has the same markings on the underside of the cap that my current cap has. I will let you know if this works.

SR- Thanks for the help, and I will be sure to brush up on my text-eze! I had not heard about the BMW.....will try that route as well. I can't believe I am the only person attempting to find a cap and rotor for a 642.

Used above at NAPA less the HTH - SR. It was not a selection. Went to NAPA, and came home with an EP50 CAP and EP51 Rotor. Parts are too big to fit the Bosch 0 231 170 307 distributor. Anyone have any aftermarket part numbers that can be crossed?

Doing some PM while the engine is out. Trying to locate NAPA part numbers (or anything that will cross) for cap and rotor for 642 with 1.6l Ford motor. Distributor is Bosch 0231170307. I ordered a Pertronix kit to replace the points. I installed one in a boat I have and it worked great. NAPA is...

Thanks guys! $25 at local dealer. Should be in a week. Cheaper than I thought. No rush, I have the motor out of it to find a leak which appears to be in a line that runs under the motor and pumps.

I damaged the engine coolant sensor the other day that is located in the thermostat housing.......is there a standard replacement for these? It has an ID code stamped on it that looks like 1829. Not sure what the range is. It looks like a 1/8" npt connection with single threaded terminal. I...

What did the hoses cost and do you have a list of part numbers? I need to change mine this spring.

Good find with the bronze filter. You can use 10W-30, 10W-40 or regular pink hydraulic fluid. I run 10W-40 in my 642. I added a couple of gauges to my 642 so I know what it is doing....I added an engine oil pressure gauge and a hydraulic charge pressure gauge. Charge pressure is easy to get...

Since I believe I need to do the same repair on my 642, are the seals only available through Bobcat or are they available through someone else? Does anyone know the make and model of the spool valves?

I'm jealous! :) I want my 642 to look half this good! I am hoping to tear mine down this winter after my driveway project is complete. Again, nice work!

Junkman: I have a A140 I am in the middle of converting to a Bobtach mount. The Bobtach mount and upper supports or “hitch balls” is complete. e-mail me and I will shoot you the pictures. I mounted it on my 642. It might help. Bernie
