Sorry to keep posting, just getting all the information out into the vast void of the internet I can. After lots of digging and looking where I should have looked first, I have confirmed it is the roto swivel that is leaking. Seems this is a common problem with this model. Joy. Going to...

Alright this may have got easier than I thought it was going to be. I found this in the parts manual of how it's put together. It's leaking right where #4 5&6 meet. There was a loose hose clamp up by the filter I'm wondering if rattled off the hose. It would make more sense than the belt...

Hey everyone, I have an M610 with a small hydraulic leak under the belt drive. I haven't been able to find a manual that tells me what the line is for so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on it and maybe identify some lines for me. The problem line is the top one in the picture...

I was able to get it out today. I found there was already a washer between the plug and spring, but it's not very thick. I'm not sure where to go from here. Do I need to add another shim? Maybe tighten the plug a little more? I'm including pictures of what came out when I took the plug out...

Hi, alchemysa. If a crows foot makes it even a little easier it will be worth it. I've got a line wrench type, regular crows foot, and a spanner. I'm back at the shop either tomorrow (Friday) or this weekend. One of them should be able to get it off I hope!

Just a small update today. I got some time around the end of today to start planning out what needs to be done. I got to the variable speed valve, it's pretty caked with oil. I still believe it's leaking back through the valve so I'm going to go ahead and remove it then go from there. I'm going...

Alright. Seems easy enough. I'll get it back to the shop this week. Will there be any pressure on the hydraulic system when I go to start taking it apart? The leak on the main control valve isn't too bad to worry about now. I'll get the variable speed valve working correctly then worry about...

I took it out today and observed no oil leaking out near the belt so I believe the variable speed is leaking back through the valve. I've been looking through the hydraulics manual. I'm using this manual http://ardiehl.de/Bobcat/610/Bobcat600hydraulic_system.pdf and I'm not sure which part of...

Because the new ones can break as often ;) With a little preventive maintenance it's not so bad. In a perfect world... Shop update Took the floor, seat, and seat pan off to look for the source of a hydraulic leak. Couldn't find anything from the top so might have to crawl underneath. I had...

Thanks for letting me know. I've been dreading doing work on any of the hydraulics on this machine because they all look like a pain to get to. If I'm reading the manual correctly, most of the connections are under the floor panels. I planned on finding the source of the hydraulic fluid leak...

Fished the race out and got it all back together. Adjusted the clutches all to 3-4 inches. I guess my problem is the variable speed valve. I'm not exactly sure how that part of the system works. Everything works great when I push that lever forward, but is it supposed to "leak" back down? I took...

Little update today. Got it to the shop and got one of the reverse clutches apart. The lining looks fine. Looks new even. Wondering now if the clutch just needed adjusting. I'm going to readjust them all to spec. I made a rookie mistake and didn't cover the oil pan and dropped a race in so it...

Belt isn't slipping. I got it to slip once trying to pick up too big of a load. Other than that belt is fine.

Hi 6brnorma, thanks for the reply. I figured the clutch linings were bad, but I wanted to post here first to see if anyone had any other ideas. Hopefully no damage to the clutch plates themselves. I should have noticed earlier when we were loading it up on the trailer and it was struggling to...

Hi, I have a M610 that won't turn or is slow about turning. It will start to turn, but you kind of have to rock it. I've got a small hydraulic leak somewhere, but my understanding with this model is the drive train is all mechanical so I'm not too sure if that would affect it or not. Any idea...
