I have a 2000 Bobcat 864 with the Duetz engine with a little over 5300 hours. All four Cylinders showing around 185psi. Pulled valve cover and no push rods are bent. Pulled Timing Belt Cover and found the two holes are lining up. Engine will only start with a small shot of either. Engine has no...

Sure enough, it was the solenoid. Just replaced it two weeks ago. $33.00 Chinese part. Figures.

Bobcat 864 won't start! A couple of days ago, I was using the Bobcat with no problems. I brought the engine down to idle, got out to do something for about ten minutes. While I was standing by it, it just died. Just filled up with Diesel earlier, still had 3/4 tank. Engine turns over with plenty...

I need to replace the lift cylinder on my 720, and for the life of me, I can't find my Parts Manual. Does anybody know the P/N? Thanks.

I have a 720 that had the old ball style quick coupler. I changed those out with the new flat face quick coupler so I could use attachments with the flat face. The problem I'm having is making the connection. It won't seem to release the pressure to allow the two fittings to connect together. Am...

Ive got a 720 with the Wisconsin engine and a warning light for liw oil pressure. I'm wanting to convert the light to an Oil Pressure Gauge. I removed the electric sender on the side of the motor and attached the new fitting with the oil line but barely get any oil coming thru the line...

Good Question. Does anybody have experience with VH4D Wisconsin?

I should have been more detailed with my first question. I actually changed out all plugs, all plug wires, points rotor, cap, and coil between checking the plugs the first time and the second time when I still found carbon on plug four.

I don't have the service manual, but why only one cylinder with carbon buildup?

I have a '79 Bobcat 720 with the Wisconsin engine. The #4 cylinder has 90 psi of compression but has a large buildup of carbon on the spark plug. I R/R the plug, operated the Bobcat for an hour, removed same plug and found it with carbon buildup again. The other cylinders have between 70-90 psi...

Thanks for answering my next question OM. I'll save the $$ and fill the tank.

I recently purchased a 720 that came with the original Service and Parts manuals, but not an operators manual. I have looked online and found the paperback versions, but need to get the version that I can just download. Does anyone have experience downloading the Operating manual for the 720?

I have a 720 with rear hydraulic connections that are operated by a lever on the left side of the drivers seat. Can someone tell me what these would be used for?

Does this have the smaller filter on the square block as I have read in other posts?

No, I haven't changed the 25 micron lower filter. Do you think that's the problem? Also need to add that it almost kills the engine when trying to turn.
