    Hello from iowa

    I’m real close to the i80 truck stop. Love going out there to get food at grandmas diner right across from it. It’s really difficult to find any sort of equipment project in this area, what comes up for sale goes high and fast. For example, I was looking at a case 1845C that needed a motor. It...

    Hello from iowa

    Thanks, thought I may as well document some of the project. People tend to run the other direction very fast on fire damaged equipment but if you can find a parts machine and get a good price on everything you can really save a lot of money. I’ve rebuilt quite a few things over the years, prices...

    Hello from iowa

    That is before stripping and cleaning. Nobody else wanted the machine because it looked so bad. And it would’ve been a ton of money to fix if I didn’t find a part machine. I have four shelves full of every single hose, fan assembly, plastic component, exhaust, radiator, controls, bypass valve...

    Water pump, thermostat housing, front main seal, oil drain tube, fuel pump, fuel lines, starter solenoid and valve cover. All ruined but all replacement parts are now on the shelf. Going to pull the head off the upcoming week and check for any damage. It’ll run, but since it’s already out going...

    Hello from Missouri

    I’ve got to say that machine is one of the cleanest project 610s I’ve ever seen. Out here in iowa I haven’t seen such a nice one that wasn’t 6k or more. What’s up with it?

    Help needed 753 with fire damage

    Definitely keep an eye out on eBay/craigslist, etc.. It’s quite difficult to find functioning used electrical components. My 7753 project had an electrical fire and I’ve been part hunting for a while..

    Hello from iowa

    Just stumbled across the forum when looking for information about a nightmare level project I just picked up. A bobcat 7753 that had a electrical fire. I was looking for a new project and got a great deal. So I picked it up. Actually got the motor to fire and it sounds healthy. Most hoses need...
