I fixed up and painted a 1977 632bobcat 4 years ago and sold it to a landscape guy. He recently called and asked me to fix an oil leak and replace some hoses. Now the machine loses hydraulic power when the oil gets hot. I'm sure it needs new seals in the drive motors. What is the value of...

Start with checking all the fuses and the solenoids. How many hours on the machine?

Careful with the flame wrench! If you ignite that hose cover you could lose the entire machine.

You will likely never get these loose with an adjustable wrench like I see in the photo. I have used a cut off wheel to cut the hose close to the fitting and then use a socket on that side with a box end on the steel line fitting.

Here's what I use...

We managed to damage the fuel tank on our T590. We need to pull the engine to get it out. Does anyone have a video showing this process on a t590 with heat and air?

My ba My bad. The 751, 753, 763, 773 all have this access cover on the right side of the machine. I assumed the 743 was similar. I have a full set of BIG crowfoot wrenches for these tight spots.

I just put an 1 1/8 boxed on the sprocket bolt. Then leave the hub installed and use a large bar between the wheel studs to break the bolt loose. Reverse to tighten.

That is not a drive motor Jose. That is the pressure supply line to the control valve that runs your boom and bucket cylinders. Yes, there is a small access plate on the right-side of the machine behind the right rear wheel that allows access to the fitting. Pull both wheels and the steel covers...

Check you fuel solenoid. If it is weak, it may only hold the plunger open till it gets hot. Next time it dies, see if is still open before you shut off the key.

The hose that feeds the control valve is a common failure on these older machines. There's an access door behind the right rear wheel that allows access. As for oil choice, today's 15w40 name brand diesel oils are all good. Do not use engine oil in your Bobcat hydraulics. Danfoss Sauer...
