My suggestion is to buy a parts manual from Bobcat. They really don't cost much and will save you a lot of frustration as the whole unit is listed with part numbers for everything.

I would have repaired it and reused. Only a wiper seal. Cheers

In cold temps, SAE is all about getting the oil quick enough to the crank bearings etc. Same as oil filters having a ant-drain back valve to prevent dry starts at the bearings. In cold temps its 0W to 5W Hot temps its 30 or 40 grade So a awesome multi -grade is 0W40 which keeps you covered. I...

Thinner oils aka viscosity is what you mean for different temps. SAE. You can use Mobil 0W40 pour point of -52 or 5W30 or 40 all year round in new units. S.A.E. hasn't changed since the beginning of oils. I use it in all my vehicles or customers where seals and gaskets are good. If it leaks...

You may want to ask for compensation if they never fixed it right the first time. Also, coolant in the engine in high concentrates is not good, as it will reduce the life of the bearings for the crankshaft etc.

I'm having the same issues on a A770 as the latter of this original message. I checked harness plugs and opened up the joysticks and found no serviceable parts as all sealed modules. some times the Aux controller acts up with codes. same codes as above. Anyone else come across this?

Bobcat A770, tampering code which puts it into limp mode. Bobcat dealer can't repair it. Looks like I'm going to have to find the issue. haha tampering code, assuming its trying to tell me a wiring issue? I have bought a service manual for my client and they have ordered a Doser valve assembly...

Being a mechanic for decades. Always check and double check things are supported properly with good wood blocks or now you can buy composite lengths and cut to whatever length you want that are rated in the forklift industry. Or steel. I have heard some rare nightmare stories in my area from...
