    2018 Bobcat E26 - Weak Hydraulics

    I checked with the Bobcat Service Manager and he said the pressure regulator is built into the pump. Controlled by this nut... It is set correctly from the factory, so a new pump is ready to go.

    That would be great, except the filters seem to be at the lowest point in the system. I think gravity would flush the fluid as soon as I loosen the filters.

    2018 Bobcat E26 - Weak Hydraulics

    My dealer managed to get a new pump in last week! There was a waiting list for the pump, but I was on top... This was one well secured package. Thick cardboard over wood framing. They are very generous with those massive shipper's staples. I wonder how much machining debris is in the...

    Such a thing as too much machine.

    When I needed to invest in a "new" tractor, I knew I wanted a skid steer or track loader. The versatility is unmatched. Like the Swiss army knife of the machinery world. I started with a 743 SS. Great little machine. Got a ton of use out of it, but it lacked high flow which I wanted for mowing...

    2018 Bobcat E26 - Bits and pieces

    I used the supplied connector and plugged right into a HID bulb from an SUV. It was a two-prong, but I managed to wedge it in tight enough to hold it. Not a great solution, but suitable. I didn't want to modify the factory wiring, but might decide otherwise in the future.

    2018 Bobcat E26 - Weak Hydraulics

    They were my second effort (after the local Bobcat dealer). LSP has the worse search engine I've ever seen. It's never given me usable results. I started with the part number "7209326", no results. Then I tried a variety of "Bobcat E26 pump" or just "Bobcat E26". All other search results were...

    That link all but claims that they are an OEM source, so you could be right. There is probably some legal document in place to keep them from divulging. I know the Bobcat OEM pump has NO markings that aren't Bobcat. I know Bobcat didn't build this pump. ;) Actually, I just looked at the tag on...

    2018 Bobcat E26 - Weak Hydraulics

    Okay, I'm working two angles on getting my pump rebuilt or replaced. 1) I've located and acquired a used pump that the previous owner said is "bad". He gave me the name of an established rebuilder in a town an hour or so from Lafayette. I haven't been able to reach them with the holidays and...

    2018 Bobcat E26 - Weak Hydraulics

    Yes, understood. Thanks for the reminder. My hope is that I can find a local place that can rebuild a "standard" hydraulic pump. I live in the heart of Southern Louisiana oilfield companies. Surely someone around here knows how to rebuild a pump.
