I agree it's tough to lay this on the operator. Maybe if they were more experienced they would have noticed it sooner but when you are shown this is where the key goes, these handles make things work and you are now an operator this is what you expect. We plan to have the rest of the ones here...

The operators are young soldiers who will bust an anvil if given the chance so that is the first issue. I posted pictures of it on the Bobcat facebook page but you can see where the rod was making contact with the pivot pin boss on the bobtach and that is right where the bend is at. The nut had...

I work in a DOD maintenance shop and we had a 2011 S750 with 615 hours come in with the tilt cylinders not holding pressure. We found the nut loose on both tilt cylinders and the seal off of one stuck inside the hydraulic control valve body. The nut on both tilt cylinder rods were loose and the...

I found a door for mine a couple months ago and also needed a panel. I found an old shelf out of a wall locker and used that to make mine. I did it using basic hand tools and it turned out fine. I bent cardboard to make a template and then marked the metal I'll try to get you some pictures this...

Mine has the tank heater on it. I will try to get you a picture of how it is connected after it warms up some. It is 26 below zero here now but they are calling for above zero by saturday.

I live in Alaska and have a 743B. If the temperature is zero to 15 above it will start up with a 90 second glow cycle then a couple 30 second cycles without being plugged in. If it is -15 to zero it will start after being plugged in for a couple hours. I have a water heater, oil pan heater and...

Come on -4 is nothing. It was -27 when I came in from plowing last night. The cab heater would warm my hands if I held them up to it but no heat made it down to my feet. It is -41 now so the Bobcat will just have to stay parked. I don't like running it past 20 below but yesterday when I started...

I have an early 80's 743B and I can tell you that a fuel cap from a late 80's chevy surburban will fit it.

mahans7, the square plate would be for bolting on a hub. The round section would bolt to the machines hub and everything to the square plate would be rigid. The hub would then free wheel so the machine could be rolled around. SkidRoe, A tow bar is a good idea. I would winch the dead machine onto...

This idea was brought up by USA#1 in the Repairing a burned Bobcat S250 thread. I used this chart http://www.tracksandtires.com/skid-steer-tire-sizes.html to get an idea of the wheelbase range that I would need to deal with. It looks like 35” to 50” will cover most anything I would be working...

I wasn't trying to bust on any one person. It happens a lot when anyone first tries posting a picture. After several tries most figure it out but the thread then has 5-6 posts that have nothing there but trying again. This site has been a wealth of information and I really don’t want this to be...

And what is up with the tiny text? I guess I will play around and figure it out. Maybe I'm on to something here. By George I think I got this.

Could it be possible to add a section to test post in and keep clutter out of other sections. I see a lot of threads that have 4-5 posts in a row trying to post pictures. If there were a test area you could work it out there before putting it in with other posts. I just thought of this as I...

Great, just great, another project I need to get done .This is a wonderful idea for moving a dead machine. You should be able to find hubs and wheels/tires on old junk cars for nothing if you look around. It may cost you the time to dispose of a couple old cars but if you do it while you have a...
