Machine was operating fine. Went to load on trailer and my son who was operating engaged the parking brake when he got out of the machine. He disengaged the brake and then couldn’t get the brakes to unlock. He has hydraulics just the wheels will jump forwards and backwards but it won’t move. the...

I will do the same. Called my machine mechanic that I use when it gets over my head. He said there are known issues with several models with the harness. He said unplug the harness which is a round harness right above the battery when you open the rear engine door. Sure enough we unplugged it...

So far it seems I lucked out. Cranked her up and she smoked and stumbled at first and then ran fine.

So today we turned on the machine. It has older joystick controls. Really didn’t have it running much or hard driving. On low idle my son would get an ACS warning light that would go away when he increased the throttle. He cut the machine off and then turned it back on and got a warning code of...

My son was driving the machine today and backed up an uneven slope. The dirt under him gave way and the machine rolled and laid over on its side. He immediately shut the key off cutting the motor off. Using another machine we pulled it upright. It was over for about 20 to 30 mins. A small amount...

I bought a bobcat auger 10 for my s70. The guy who sold it said that the drive seemed weak. Suspect it needs a drive rebuilt. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket or how i can identify what i need. I don't want to run a drive motor that is going bad and chance hurting my pump on my machine.

I will be in touch on it. still trying to identify what i have.

Where are you located and what range are you thinking?

It’s easier just to post here. I have checked my serial number on bobcat parts but I’m a little unsure. My bobcat has an M in the middle of the serial number stamp and if I enter it as stamped it comes up invalid. If I delete the M it shows parts for it but im not sure that is correct. I can...

I will shoot you a message.

I am just getting back to my old 743 to bring life back to it. The machine engine (V1702) runs great so other than a paint job, a few hoses and this drive motor / hydraulic issue the machine is solid. My pump is a vickers and sperry from the early 80's. It doesnt have the block on top of the...

I'm looking for a working pump and drive motor. My pump is a vickers and sperry from the early 80's it doesn't have the block on top of the motor at the front. Where some pumps from that model have the block, mine has a hose that runs to the side of the machine. The drive motor is the type...

My machine was giving trouble on inclines where it would run out of fuel even though the tank was full. I changed out the pick up tube in the tank where all is new including the elbow fitting that goes into the tank. Mine was steel they gave me a plastic one to replace it. It fight in tight and...
