I have a Bobcat that I always thought was an M610. It was originally yellow, had no cab, and ran on propane when a friend of mine bought it used. I also think it had solid tires for indoor use. I've always worked off the 610 service and parts manuals for various things, even the later version of...

IGNORE MY PREVIOUS POST. I got it out with a little more pulling.

I'm early in the process of replacing the left front axle seal. I have the hub partially pulled out (using a puller set-up), so that the shaft is out of the inner bearing, and I have the big 2 inch nut off. However, I haven't yet been able to get the shaft out of the sprocket. It seems stuck and...

Got my answer. 3/4 NPT.

I'm away from my machine but am trying to line up the parts I need to adapt an attachment. Can anyone check the thread size where the breather cap screws into the top of the hydraulic reservoirs) where you pour in hydraulic fluid). I'd be very grateful. You can give me the NPT size, the ID of...

What's supposed to be on the bottom of the fuel filter assembly? On mine, something seems broken off and there's a small constant drip. Is it a plug, a valve, and when is it used? Is it used for draining water, or is it to drain fuel when changing the filter? I don't want to take the unit apart...

I have a slow drip from the hole at the bottom of the fuel filter assembly. My parts manual says there is supposed to be a wing plug there with a washer, but my service manual discusses a push in poppet valve to occasionally drain water. Can anyone clarify what I need? Perhaps one of the manuals...

I went with an 11/16 wide belt from NAPA. It's not one of the standard sections as far as I can see. The original is still a little bit wider, but the fit on this one seems pretty good.

Need to replace belt today on my 843 with Isuzu diesel, but no bobcat dealers within reach stock part (6655314). Belt is so badly worn that I'm not sure of width and would like to get as close as possible from NAPA, who can't cross reference number. Could anyone kindly measure the width for me...

Thanks so much for these details and the idea of changing sides.

Before I start dismantling things, could someone tell me how the seat bar mechanism is supposed to latch in the up position when the machine is not in use. Mine had been working, but now it won't stay up. I'm wondering if something is worn too far. I see the parts in the parts manual but can't...

I recently bought an early 843, and there's some kind of small electrical leak that causes the battery to run down, so I have to disconnect the battery if the machine is going to sit for more than a couple of days. I'd like to get to the root of the problem and can gradually work my way through...

Where is this switch located and what does in look like? I just got an older 843 and am trying to learn about it. It's a pain that it doesn't work going down, especially with something on forks. Thanks.

This may be related to the same pedal. Just got a used 843, upgraded from a 610. When I raise the bucket or forks it keeps its level as it goes up, but when I then lower it, it tilts forward and I have to constantly readjust the angle to keep things from falling or sliding off. Sounds like maybe...

Thanks for your reply and your offer. I think I have the problem fixed. I'll give a few more details here for anyone that uses this thread in the future. I earlier put in a new hydraulic pump and did not first readjust the pressure setting on the variable speed valve before using. The belt...
